The article is only feel good. The fact is the Indian film industry or rather the Hindi Film industry is believed to be in a grasp of Mafia in Pakistan. May be not entirely but there is some truth to it.

The reason why America is not able to defeat Islam is because it has not engaged Islam at an ideological level. Americans or the entire west has kind of dug it's head into some hole on this issue. Consider the brutal and inhuman laws in Saudi Arabia (For example: http://www.niticentral.com/2012/08/womens-eyes-distract-so-b...) . USA wouldnt talk against them. The political class will always say that "Islam is religion of peace" it is only few distracted human beings who are waging the war in the name of Islam.

That stand is fallacious. People are born equal. A Hindu is as likely to commit a crime as Muslim and vice versa. However the ideologies they follow have some behavioral consequences for it's believers. Tibetians in China have gone through a lot of troubles. They are tortured in their own land, they are dirt poor, less educated and disconnected from rest of the world. Still, we dont see a Tibetan monk blowing up a bus or a building. That is because they follow Buddhism which believes that bringing harm to a sentient being is incorrect. That religion is truly a religion of peace. On the other hand believers in Islam believe that they are superior to everyone else and they own the world. So they very easily justify killing the Kafirs/Unbelievers.

The west has not gauged the nuisance value of Islam. It has not engaged it at an ideological level and that is why they are losing to Islam.
