Islam is what the revealed and incarnated word of God - the Quran - tells that it is, wanting to alter that means to alter the word of God (death to you for even considering that, you heretic!), and nothing in that essay changes the totalitarian, racist and supremacist basic nature of that message. The essay ignores quite many of the not so nice stories of Islamic history, of Muhammad's biography, and implications of the Quranic teaching. Some of the stuff on page two, for the second and first headline there, is historically misleading, sometimes even wrong.

Facism does not become a nice ideology just because some Nazis had polite manners, and the German attack war doe snot become justifiable just becasue sometimes German officers acted with gallantry and nobless towards thewir enemies in battle. - And Muhammad does not become less a godfather and murderous criminal just because occasionally he forfeit on enslaving women, or calling for the assassination of critics.

Not all people calling themselves "Muslim" are radical fundamentalists. But that does not make the Quran's ideology a less radical fundamentalist ideology of supremacism, racism and monoculturalism.

And the point about the veil - is disputed amongst Muslim clerics themselves. The Quran however demands that women shall cover themselves and hide from the view of foreign men. Originally, the demand was linked to that they should not do their toilet business in public and within sight of foreign men. The supressive character of any cloathing rules for women just came later.
