“however much we have been the cause of it”????? I totally reject this concept, as do the majority of the world.

Wow, Sinbad was really OLD by the time he decided to quit voyaging around the East...

That’s the LA times we all know and love (NOT)...

Mindless...Childish, silly nonsense...Twaddle.

When Islam, as the late anthropologist Clifford Geertz explains, swept through Arabia and North Africa, it moved into "an essentially virgin area, so far as high culture was concerned," so that it constructed from scratch an entire civilization.

Dude, much of North Africa had been highly civilized for more than a millenium under Greek, Carthaginian, Roman, Vandal and Byzantine rule. Even Arabia had periods and areas of wealth and civilization. Witness Sheba and Petra.

Who will win the battle for the hearts and minds of Muslim East Asia — the extremist Saudis or the materialistic Chinese? We should be rooting for the Chinese.

Yep - within the universe of those two choices - it's definitely "Chinese".
