Mr. Buckley begins by saying, "The general ignorance in the Western world concerning Islam ... is widely deplored and generally cultivated." This is demonstrated over and over again in this productive discussion, in which our guests-none of them Muslim, all of them deeply knowledgeable about Islam-lead us into this very different worldview. One sample: WFB: "The fundamentalist-" PJV: "Excuse me, I refuse to use the term fundamentalist for Islam. That is a very Christian, canonical, theological proposition. There's no such thing as fundamentalism in Islam. There is orthodox in Islam." WFB: "There is such a thing as a metaphor everywhere." PJV: "All right. Thank you. The problem is that this is the only native idiom they have." WFB: "Cutting off hands is fundamentalist, isn't it?" PJV: "Well, even the cutting off of hands-" GB: "You could call it puritan." PJV: "Puritan, yes." WFB: "Puritanical."
