Furthermore,if he sees Marxism among the fanatical Moslem obscurantists who fought the socialist central government in Kabul what did he see among those Afghan communists who carried out the land reform,introduced universal education, gave women civil rights and basic liberty?Jihadism? What a perverted worldview this man has!Typical French brain washing!With millions of Moslems occupying and blackmailing France she has become the very antithesis of what it once was-the beacon of obscurantism!

Islam "could fit with many different cultures and societies. So Islam as such is not an issue"...What a refined hypocrite Roy is!Why bother about e.g. the Quran 9.29?He participated in the revolt of 1968 and has not a single word to spare on the extermination of the French population in Algeria by the Moslems with De Gaul's approval.The massacres in Oran are none of his business.He prefers remote Afghanistan where he allegedly found what he couldn't see in his Moslem Maghrebian neighbourhood.
