The Qu'ran - progressive...? A reforming book? Ahead of it's time with regard to marriage and women...??? And by the original speech script I still don't get what Blair means when calling the conquest of Islam "breathtakling". Is it a disgusted or an admiring statement?

I think Blair is talking without deepr knowledge and insight both into the scritpures of Islam, and history. He falls victim to the popular follies there are about Islam.

Can't disagree more with you, Abraham. I want to remind you that Blair is the head of government who was the first in europe to condemn the Danish, although Brtish governments have nothing to say about Danish affairs, and that representatives of this government where amongst the loudest voices demanding that free opinion in Europe should go silence, that newspaper should not print suppoort for the Danish cartoons and positions, and that the West should apologize to Islam for practicing according to it's own rights, values and traditions, in it's own place.
