You may be exaggerating the non-existence, but in any case - what do
you propose to do about it? Just throw up your hands and join the

The first thing to do is to understand different currents of Islam --
e.g., not all Islamists are fundamentalists, and not all
fundamentalist Muslims are Islamists -- and figure out which currents
we could support if we had our own social force.
