Studying Islam for a more peaceful world ?
Topics: Understanding IslamTwo nutcase liberal elites in San Francisco have taken the propensity for liberals to miss the boat of reason when it all but runs over them, to a new level of absurdity.
James A. Donahue and Munir Jiwa, writing in an op-ed piece at SFGate.com, say that despite popular assertions that religion is at the root of the world's problems as at no other time in recent history, closer study reveals that it is not religion per se that is plaguing the world but the misunderstanding of religion.
Positing a divide between Islam and the West, or the religious and the secular, not only misrepresents Islam and Muslims, but the nature and mission of all faiths. Understanding and studying Islam is a matter of great urgency - it is, in fact, critical, if humankind is to have a peaceful future.I guess Donahue and Jiwa have been residing somewhere off the planet and have missed hearing about over 9,000 terrorist attacks committed by Muslims since 9/11/01.
Golly gee, I guess us poor dumb non-Muslims just don't understand Islam.

Also, we're too darn tall. That can be remedied, turns out.

Ed, there are actually a lot of tall Arabs (also Pashtons), albeit for the most part, most are indeed short on tolerance.
