[LCM Articles] "There Is No Clash of Civilizations but a Clashbetween the Mentality of the Middle Ages and That of the 21stCentury"

[Amer M.A. Khayyat]

I wouldn't go so far as to call this polemic interesting..  its actually 
quite depressing.. and hearing the other side as just requested seems 
irrelevant in this scenario, the good lady's world view does not tolerate 
another side.. to quote her puppet-puppet master "you're either with us or 
against us".

Although I guess its of some interest to see such a pure expression of 
fundamentalist "secularism"  a secularism that internalizes and glorifies 
all the garbage that racist judeo-christian propagandists say about Islam 
and use it as a hymn book to spout invective against those of us who 
disagree with their world view.

Its only when we get to the stage where our "secularized" elites stop 
buying this drivel and actually try to engage with the social and religious 
matrix from which they come (as much as they wish to deny it), then can we 
move away from this polarized, black and white picture and towards some 
sort of solution to our troubles..
