Islam out of the middle ages? Islam survives on the middle ages' mentality. Ain't gonna happen.

Post Iraq, we're going to see more and more of this proper framing of the debate. No more "root causes", no more blaming the West.
Lay the blame on the right doorstep, which is the primitive and barbaric culture advocated by the Wahabbis (including bin Laden and Zawahiri).

You beat me to it. I was thinking the 60's mindset.
I like that guy Berlusconi. Plus there's all those Italian women, pasta, wine, shoes and Ferrari. What's not to like about Italy.

Berlusconi is turning into a diplomat?
How about helping them emerge from the Dark Ages?

Don't you really mean "menopause" rather than "middle ages?"

Middle Ages = Menopause
Suicide Bombers = Hot Flashes?

It was not the first time Berlusconi made comments about the supposed backwardness of the Arab or Islamic world. "supposed backwardness"?

The
Middle Ages get a bad rap. Why do moderns despise the Middle Ages? Because this age culminated in the great
Scholastic intellectual movement which produced the
Summa Theologica. Moderns hate truth.
