Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. |
20 December, 2001: "Only in their dreams"By Kathy Kinsley There's an excellent article by Charles Krauthanner in Time, which gives a good overview of why the "Arab street" has been so meek and quiet lately. It explains a number of things that is hard for those of us in the west to understand about Islamic fundamentalism (and it also applies to other extremist religious philosophies). His thought on how the belief that "God is on our side" can turn on the losing side was very enlightening. I heartily recomment this one. Link via Transterrestrial Musings' Rand Simberg.
