Hi Nadine - shalom first. Until that TV transmission from Mecca (must have been min 10 years ago) I did not realize Islam is (sloppily said) a big-time religion. The shots were pretty much similar to what you can see when Pope meets his crowds. And to somebody whose impression of Islam was (also, take it with a grain of salt pls) moulded by Karl May and Seven Pillars, it was, well, an eye opener. Nothing more and nothing less. Re ... the other subject ... whoever takes it lightly, could for starters read the Encyclopedia of the dead/The Book of Kings and Fools by Danilo Kis babelguides.com RegZ dj

There's so much the Arab & Muslim world doesn't know, because they have cocooned themselves in a wall of comforting lies. Here's an article confirming your view - the UN has published the "Arab Human Development Report 2003" today. It was introduced by Rima Khalaf Hunaidi in Amman: U.N. Report: U.S. War on Terror Radicalizes Arabs By Suleiman al-Khalidi Yahoo! News Mon, Oct 20, 2003 news.yahoo.com It cited official educational curricula in Arab countries that "bred submission, obedience, subordination and compliance rather than free critical thinking."
