I heard a lecture by a professor last week which was very interesting. He stated that we in the "western world" had a time period which he called "the information period" where schools for absolutely everybody was introduced, among other things. In the middle eastern countries they haven't had that period, in a way their evolution "jumped over" that step. So in a way you can say that these people are a few hundred years behind us in mental thinking, if you understand what I mean. This is why it's extremely difficult for us to understand what goes on in their minds, and vice versa.

NB! Please pardon my bad English on this subject, I found it pretty hard to summarize what he said.


>>I hope you don't think I am some kind of Muslim cheerleader. I'm not. But they did not invent religious zealotry. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Crusades. I give you the present day campaign by Baptists to "save the Jews" from going to hell by accepting Christ as their savior. Insane zealotry is not confined to any one religion.

>>OK, I'm out of this. It is standard wisdom not to debate religion. And I don't even have a horse in the race.

>>Pitchers and catchers about to report. I think this is the Cubs' year ;-) (It was kind of amusing to read descriptions of the 15 long years since the Packers' last title).
