There is clearly considerably uneasiness in the West about the growing presence of Islam in our midst. A very large percentage of people are
willing to concede that "not all Muslims are a problem" but the problem
of how to distinguish between the "good" ones and the "bad" ones has
been largely unsolved. This essay makes a very good attempt to
distinguish between the two groups.

I'd be very curious to see what happens if such a test were administered
to 100 randomly-chosen Muslims here in the West, preferably while they
are strapped to a polygraph so we have a better chance to verify the
sincerity of their declarations.

Muslims would reasonably argue that such a test, if mandatory, would be massively discriminatory so perhaps the test should be mandatory for
people of all faiths in order to get a new Western citizenship? That
might help find people of other faiths who don't hold values compatible
with our society....

This is a bright line for me. Person X does not interfere with the
liberty of person Y. I don't need to know if he is good or bad.

If an entire culture and society is based on a medieval death cult and we're put in the position of having to distinguish between "good ones" and "bad ones", I perfectly fine with just not letting any of them in.

Yes. Yes, it would be. That's the point.
