There are only two answers. Pogrom or cooperation. I prefer cooperation. I really do.
People need to learn that Mohammed was the Prophet of Mecca as well as the warlord of Medina, and the five pillars of Islam were not conceived in Medina , any more than a Christian father is supposed to bash his daughter's head in with rocks if she is not a virgin on her wedding day. We as westerners see an antiquated, draconian, patriarchal, and misogynist dogma, but it doesn't have to be like this. We either compromise or kill. Simple as that.....or 'complex' as that I suppose.
The fact remains that the second largest religion in the world is not going to disappear any time soon.
