#5 I think your novel uses for tall cranes pretty much cements opinion on your understanding of Islam.

#6 I think your novel uses for tall cranes pretty much cements opinion on your understanding of Islam.

I think if the reset button were hit on Islam and it was restarted, they'd end up in pretty much the same place after a century or two.

#8 Rouhani also accused Muslims of forgetting their common enemy — Israel — as they get distracted by atrocities committed by the Islamic State.

Something Rooters and Dawn left out.

#9 I imagine this rallying of the silent peaceful majority will result in Muslim demonstrations against ISIS all over the Muslim world.

#11 My current image of Iran is that it is a fundamentalist country that supports terrorism, suppresses women and executes homosexuals. I believe that my image is accurate. Improving that image would involve actual change altering the reality of Iran not rhetorical or superficial modifications. Interestingly my image of Saudi Arabia is not much different than my image of Iran. My impression of Pakistan is actually worse because I perceive that country to be smellier ... but that perception is totally subjective and not based on any direct observation. I can easily be convinced that Iran and Saudi Arabia are just as smelly.
