#1 This is a really good read, and an important one for all students at Rantburg U.

It reinforces my belief that islam has enabled the perpetuation of tribalism throughout the Middle East and Souther Asia. It also makes me highly sceptical that we are ever going to see a reformation within islam unless a very large stick is applied. Me thinks that Waziristan would be an ideal demonstration site for that large stick.

#3 If you ever wondered if UFO's have landed here on Earth you only have to go to Weirdostan and see for yourselves. I am starting to believe that Roswell was a diversion and the real ETs are Pashtun tribesmen in Pakistan. All they lack is a ray gun.

#4 I used to think sociologists were useless.

This fellow, Kurtz, shows that if you want to understand terrorism at more than a superficial level, you need a sociological understanding.

Of course, it may be that he's the only person like him

#5 The root of the problem is neither domestic poverty nor American foreign policy, but the tension between Muslim social life and globalizing modernity itself.

F*cking brilliant article. Concise, and correct.
