I do not think you have fairly described Zakaria's argument. He didn't say there isn't a problem with some forms of Islam. He said, "This shift does not reflect a turn away from religiosity or even from a backward conception of Islam. That ideological struggle persists and will take decades, not years, to resolve itself. But the battle against jihadism has fared much better, much sooner, than anyone could have imagined." What he is trying to do is to mention the positive developments against Al-Qaeda. I think of all the Muslims in America, Zakaria would have been the last on your hit list.
