<< ... because I've learned that for every one person who is capable of unbiased thinking, you will find many multiples who simply are not... >> Do you feel that you are completely unbiased? Or, could you possibly be among the group that you criticize for being "simply being not capable of unbiased thinking"? A lot of used car salemen have used the same line that you are using.

I think that the problem is far more complex than acts of tiny minority. When communism took over USSR that took the country many generations back...Communism was an opressor, also bread distributor and "religion" at the same time...If Islamic nations ever to turn to the example of Moors and Golden Age, rather than Bin Laden there has to be a sea-change in the Arab World. I am not even talking about Impoverished countries like Pakistan...If likes of Saudi Royal Family would continue to preside over the wealth and minds of generations of people....than the resulting despair punctuated by successes of the "alternative" systems of gvn would make it worse...Islam is more than religion or way of life..It was made by modern rulers the pillar of the Gvn, Justice, education and power..Would it ever change? Sure...but not before major cataclismic events that could rock the entire World. All IMO and has little to do with obvious great majority of good, ordinary people have nothing to do with History or Events unfolding, just a background..

You welcome, Amien, I have travelled throughout the Middle for years, I don't think here is the problem is teaching of Islam, but the misconception of two fanatics (Mola Omer, Bin Laden) of the trough teaching of Islam. Molah Omer is an ignorant Afgahn Pashtun peasant that hardly knows how to read or write. He hardly received any proper education and his brand of Islam is that of an ignorant Mountain peasant. His fight is more over Pashtun nationalism hidden under his brand of Islam. He is backed by ignorant Pakistani volunteers that embraced Islam, not to be second class Indeans! GGG I think you what I mean! Then we have Arab fanatics under the mad man, Osma! He is the El-Mehid of 21 st century! This is a messy situation we have. The truth is that you and I can't solve nothing, can't change nothing! We can just watch. It takes two to tango, the humanity is at fualt. I can say more, but rather not! Kind regards Yaacov
