Could you imagine if all this effort went into something worthwhile? The Middle East was once a place of learning. It could be again.

Updinged for sharing a common hope. Unfortunately, we are a looooooong way off from that now. What can people even do to support bringing moderate Islam into a position where it can marginalize the radicals? It seems like a sisyphusian task. Build a moderate Islamic school, and the crazies will just blow it up. Try to create open markets where people can exchange culture more freely, and they become targets.

The middle east is beyond depressing.
