Here's (maybe) an interesting question: Why does the MSA insist on starting this petition in this manner? Do they recognize that co-habitation and even collaboration with infidels is necessary, that the whole world is never going to become Muslim? One reason I won't sign their petition is I don't want to risk supporting religious fascists, here, there, or anywhere. The opening line smacks of that.
