Couple thoughts: *A few moderate Muslim editors chiming in on some of the things we don't like either on Wikipedia wouldn't hurt. *It would be nice if the most obvious of "corruption" of liberal or libertarian views wasn't lascivious female nudity; but even the Christian Conservatives have come to adapt. * And of course it should be recognized that most of these liberal/libertarian individuals and groups DO recognize that having the US/Europe constantly attacking Muslim countries to choose their leaders only increases the power and influence of the radical Muslims.
