Sorry. But true peace will come to the region only when the Islamic world is transformed and is able to respond rationally and effectively to the ongoing challenge of Western modernity. Traditional Islamic culture is simply not compatible with the practices, institutions and values that constitute Western modernity. Hence the violent instability and migrations. Also peace will only come to Israel itself when either the Palestinians or the Israelis cease to be a definable political entity. They both covet the same land. Neither can make a real concession to the other without denying the rational of their own existence.
Oh really?
