With few exceptions, the states [in the Muslim world] are marked by poverty, ignorance, and stagnation. It is full of discontent and frustration, yet alive with consciousness of its inferiority and with determination to achieve some kind of betterment. Two basic urges meet head-on in this area, and conflict is inherent in this collision of interests. These urges reveal themselves in the daily news accounts of killings and terrorism, of pressure groups in opposition, and of raw nationalism and naked expansionism masquerading as diplomatic maneuvers.

And NOTHING'S CHANGED in 60 years.

Except they've gotten more dangerous weapons.

From us. >:-(

I just got my new issue of Smithsonian and there is an article on Sayyid Qutb and his stay in that cesspit of lax American morals in the early '50s. Greeley Colorado. Now we know that the currrent problems did not start yesterday but if a magazine* like this is waking up to the problem then there is hope

*I don't know if you can call the Smithsonian political but its not exactly the New Repulic either
