The Rebellion Within
An Al Qaeda mastermind questions terrorism.
Good New Yorker article if you want to learn more on this topic (and I suggest we do). It seems Islam is pretty fluid when it comes to resorting to violence, or not. (Let's not even get into the violent history of Christianity.) This faith seems to be at a crossroads now. We should do everything in our power to respect and nurture its non-violent, rational tendencies. (Not invading Islamic countries for no reason would help.) The Islamic people are eager to catch up with the rest of the world and make a better life for themselves. The violence and terrorism advanced by a handful of radicals have served only to shatter their societies and set them back. The people want to move forward. More power to them!
As I've said before, the Muslims rescued our own classical culture from oblivion. We owe it to them now.
