Globalization and Islam

Via instapundit I found this interesting interview with Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali. At one point she says:

Totalitarian Islamic regimes are in a deep crisis. Globalization means that they're exposed to considerable change, and they also fear the reformist forces developing among émigrés in the West.

Marginal Revolution notices a parallel I had forgotten about, and also answers the question of how Palestinian protestors got their hands on so many Danish flags.
