The region’s intellectuals have therefore long been preoccupied with devising ways to revive...

Good grief. Is this writer for real? What evidence has he seen of the leaders condemning violence and advocating a Renaissance?

Married 8 year old female children...
Stoning a girl because she was raped...
Killing a couple because they were going to elope...
Forcing women to accept mutilation of their genitals...
Forcing women to wear the burka...

I don't generally go about trashing people from the Middle-East in general, but the lies in this article cause one to feel the need to address reality.

There is a vile darkness over all the Islamic states. It's religious leaders have bought off on the most vile model of civilization, and the populace over there has cheered them on.

This is reality.

Until the ‘moderate’ Muslims start to denounce the violence of the radical Jihadists they can pound sand.
