The Other Islam by Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Suleyman Schwartz: Why I Serve As Executive Director, Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP) 

June 7, 2007

A Bosnian supporter of my book The Two Faces of Islam wrote to me about the Saudi-funded Wahhabis there:  

"I used to gaze into their faces, and believe me they are more than ready to kill us: ordinary Bosnian Hanafi Muslims. I clearly see it as I see this day. The only thing that prevents them from conducting that is the state, law enforcement and their small number which guarantees them complete disappearance if they commence such an adventure... 

"They will kill us first. I have no doubt about that. I can show that their fascism (which is easy to establish) is primarily directed towards Muslims, as you can clearly follow up throughout the Muslim world wherever they have sizable followings. 

"We are their first and last targets; accepting Islam you transformed yourself into their target."
