Self-serving, with a strong victimhood flavour, but nonetheless worth a read.
Well Byron, the first half of that sentence was right! LMAO!!
Merry Christmas, mate!!
Victimhood, yes. But also apparent is the embrace (infection?) of western post-modernist language. Note the use of the words "context" and "represent". Sad, but this fellow isn't even an english student, but someone in the sciences who has adopted the language of disuasion and deflection. Note that the emphasis is on what westerners think, and what they should think, and an utter lack of understanding of the issues and differences within Islam itself. The obsession with the western thought, rather than offering solutions to specific countries, is a hallmark of this sort of thinking. It doesn't look good for them. Further, the discussion has been very deep, the exact opposite to what is happening in the arab world, which this writer would not understand or would really be interested in, since he's a symbol of folks like him and have given up on their home countries for the west, but are struggling to fit in, problematized by the adoption of western ways of self-criticism as a way to validate the culture of the homeland. What mixed-up people!
