Another Islam Post

Rein mentioned in class that Tariq Ramadan has written quite a bit on the Muslim minority in non-Muslim countries.

Ramadan argues that the only way to end the current cultural/political/military conflict between the West and Islam is for both sides to embrace a more reasonable approach that respects the sensitivities of each party.

Ramadan writes, "The fracture is not between the West and Islam but between those who, in both universes, are able to assert who they are and what they stand for with measure in the name of a faith and/or a rational reason and those drive by exclusive certainties, bind passions, reductive perspectives of the other, and hasty conclusions."

I believe that this sums up much of Ramadan's belief about what causes strife between these two societies and what can be done about it.
