In the world today we seem to be facing tremendous challenges. There seems to be two types of views the western more secular view on the one hand and the religious fundamentalist dictatorial view on the other. I know that these are sweeping generalizations but for our purposes they will do. These two views clashed on September 11th 2002. In a world of so much uncertainty how can we know that the right thing is being done? Will the war in Iraq prove to have been a positive thing? Or will history judge it to have been the biggest single mistake made by and United States and UK government. Is the foot dragging regarding Iran’s nuclear program the correct policy or will we live to regret not having acted when there was still a chance. This and similar questions haunt most people and especially heads of governments of the civilised world. Recommend this article... |

There is no doubt that the greatest threat facing the civilized world today is the amalgam of extremism, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. This lethal combination could one day, if given the chance, claim the lives of millions, G-d forbid. Recommend this article... |

Like most people, I am becoming increasingly disturbed by the reports of bombings, kidnappings and beheadings coming out of Iraq. The cities Falluja and Ramadi and much of Anbar Province are now controlled by fundamentalist, Al-Qaeda style militias. Recommend this article... |

Radicals and radicalisation are the words on everyone’s lips. People are trying to understand the process of how normal people become radicalised to the extent that they become suicide bombers. They therefore talk about radicalisation as if it is always a terrible thing. The truth is however that anyone who becomes enthusiastic enough about a cause can become radical – is radicalism really a bad thing? Recommend this article... |

The recent terror attack in London was unique--it was carried out by British-born fundamentalists, not foreigners. After suffering years of IRA-sponsored terrorism, the question people here in Britain are asking is why people would want to blow their fellow citizens and themselves to smithereens in a crowded rush-hour underground train. Most people just cannot fathom this new evil perpetrated by seemingly normal people who could have been their neighbors or classmates. Recommend this article... |
