world without islam?

world can survive islam By Kulamarva Balakrishna Vienna,Thursday,January 3,2008 When presenting the Islamic attack on Universal Declaration of human rights, I had mentioned about the U.S.American current thinking on Islam and cited the opinion makers views as presented by the Jan/Feb issue of the prestigeous Foreign Policy Magazine. There is no point my reprinting the article. But I bring the issues before the readers for consideration. It is no empty talk of nuking the holy sand lands into molten glass!It is under consideration.Islam if it does not amend, keeps its choice of exporting terrorism,it is mistaken.
