It is of the essence of a totalitarian ideology that it enforces its right to regulate the totality of life. The Koran, hadith, the fatwas represent one continuous endeavor in this respect; they aim at controlling every single aspect of life.…The ideology is premised not just on the belief that believers are eternally separate from, and eternally superior to non-believers. It is premised on eternal hostility between the two. Fanaticism and terrorism, aggression are inevitable results of this world view. Accordingly, the ideology makes it well-nigh impossible for Muslims to live peaceably in societies in which Muslims are just one of several communities. Indeed, it makes it impossible for an Islamic state to live peaceably in a world where there are non-Islamic States also.
