The ascent of radical Islam is, perhaps, the natural culmination of a century's worth of failed political systems in Muslim countries that were driven by morally bankrupt ideologies, led by cruel dictators, or both.
<b>In the 1930s, German-style fascism appealed to Arabs in Palestine and Egypt. Soviet-style communism had sympathetic governments in Afghanistan, Algeria and Yemen. Baathism took hold in Syria and Iraq</b>. The secular Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser promised a new pan-Arabism that would do away with colonial borders that divided the "the Arab nation." Then there is the more pragmatic authoritarianism that survives in Muammar el-Qaddafi's Libya or in the petrol-monarchies in the Gulf.
Radical Islam may be as totalitarian and as morally bankrupt as any of these past or mostly defunct "isms," but its current appeal isn't hard to figure out. Unlike fascism or communism, radical Islam is locally grown, and not plagued by charges of foreign contamination. Indeed, Islamists claim to wage jihad against the modernism and globlization of the outside, mostly Westernized world. Such a message resonates in stagnant, impoverished Muslim countries....

As the president of Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria, an umbrella organization of Syrian Kurds, I admire your efforts on behalf of human rights globally.  I must however express my concerns with your views on having dialogues with Syria's dictator Bashar Assad.  

Dear Senator, the Middle East Conflict extends beyond the Arab-Israeli conflict.  I would like to bring to your attention the Plight of Kurds in Syria.  Senator, we seek your support in resolving the Kurdish question in Syria peacefully and through dialogue.  You should know however that President Assad or Assad Regime has consistently and gravely violated the human and the national rights of the Kurdish people of Syria for the last five decades.  

The Assad regimes of Hafez and Bashar deliberately Arabized the Kurdish region of Syria as a national policy.  The result of Arabization rendered 300,000 Kurds "stateless foreigners" (ajanibin Arabic) and subject to oppression...
