Re: Global War on Terror 8 - Winter is Coming
Spent a great 4th of July at a fireworks national tribute talking to a first generation Muslim Somali family. As cool as they were, they appeared even more enthusiastic to talk to me.
Hope some day people realize that extremism exists everywhere. Movements (religion, nationalism, etc) typically offer important benefits to society. Yet extremists are frequently attracted to movements, because they can subvert them to their cause. Too much extremism kills the host movement.
