Islam and Knowledge vs. Socialization

The very foundation of hegemony and empire lie in the public holding largely facile views of truths essential to the rulers.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - 'On occasions, I feel Muslims ‘lose’ something when it comes to religion. I am speaking about the second last prophet Jesus or Isa (E-sa) peace be upon him... My general opinion of Muslims is that they tend to take on a facile view of Christianity ... I get the feeling that this may be because: If an increase in discussions by Muslims of Jesus (pbuh) were to take place, it would be percieved as “being Christian”.'

Interesting perspective, and along the lines which reduce to the following empiricism: Human beings in general don't tend to appreciate what is not part of one's own socialization.

Horrors of Israel`s Brutality Not Lost on Mideast Anchors

"Every time I hear that Israel is America's only friend in the Middle East, I remember that before Israel, America had no enemies in the Middle East." - Comment from a Jesuit

(SALEM, Ore.) - Perhaps we shouldn't all sit around crying about it, but the effects of Israel's murder of civilians during Operation Cast Lead; the murderous attack on Gaza two years ago that left almost 1500 dead and thousand upon thousand injured and maimed... it was like dropping a bomb on humanity.

One place where the sympathies weren't clouded by the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby, were the news desks of our brother and sister journalists in the Middle east.

Reprise on Palestine, Israel and America: A Strategic Void

(JACKSON, Miss.) - I’ve had a more diffuse and sometimes different reaction to the original article on this topic than I anticipated, although one I thought possible.
