Omar took the sacred robe, attributed to Muhammad and locked away for more than 60 years, and triumphantly donned it in public as if to declare his succession to the Prophet's earthly rule

Did he literally do this, or is this figurative? Do they have the Prophet's [TUB] actual personal robe?

wondering why the Arab world uniquely has not developed a single real democracy; and asking, most fundamentally, how a great religion like Islam could have harbored a malignant strain that would rejoice in the death of 3,000 innocents. It is the kind of questioning that Europeans engaged in after World War II (asking how Fascism and Nazism could have been bred in the bosom of European Christianity) but that was sadly lacking in the Islamic world. Until now.

I don't think a single poster has picked up on the subtle anti-religious attitude of this piece. And the fact that the author excludes communism from his analysis speaks volumes.
