Islam Is Not The Problem

After Grief, The Fear We Won’t Admit (washingtonpost.com): “… Islam is not the problem, but the way out of a political predicament that has been building quietly for decades. It means not only supporting nationalists, liberals and nascent democrats already on our side in the quest to transform the Middle East but also encouraging Islamists and their parties to participate. Basically, it means differentiating between Islamists and jihadists, and accepting anyone willing to work within a system to change it rather than work from outside to destroy it.”

I wish everyone who’s in a position of actual power would read this article and learn from it. It’s really well written and the author makes many excellent points.
