Shelby Steele Understands. Do we?

Mr. Steele writes the best column I have read capsuling the real reasons for Islamic extremism.

The insight most of us miss:

  • "But Islamic extemists don't hate the West because they are oppressed by it. They hate it precisely because the end of oppression and colonialism--not their continuance--forced the Muslim world to compete with the West. Less oppression, not more, opened this world to the sense of defeat that turned into extrtemism."

Read the whole thing. You will see the enemy more clearly!
