Robert Reich writes, The late Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington predicted in a 1993 article in the journal “Foreign Affairs” that the fundamental source of conflict in the post-Cold War world would be a “clash of civilizations” between different cultures, especially between Muslims and non-Muslims. He was profoundly wrong. Muslims around the world are overwhelmingly peace loving, moderate, and responsible. As the beheading of James Foley demonstrates, the radical Islamists who are wreaking havoc in Syria and Iraq, northern Nigeria, and elsewhere are barbarians. What we are witnessing is a clash of the civilized world with an uncivilized brutality that masks itself as a religious movement. In fact, its major victims so far have been Muslims. Do not be misled by hatemongers who would have you believe otherwise. Our most effective response is to help strengthen moderate Islam against the forces of global barbarism. via Khwaja Khusro Tariq
