A very intersting article that looks at the current global crisis between the West and the Muslim world. Contrary to the media perspectives we usually get this article gives some space to the points of view of the Arab world.

Islam’s resistance movement

An adviser to Israel’s prime minister, summing up its strategy after the Hamas election win, said the Palestinians should be ‘put on a diet but not starved to death’. They will be punished for practising democracy, and both the United States and the European Union endorse that punishment. Western double-talk about democracy and justice has provoked outrage in Muslim countries and encouraged resistance to foreign intervention.
