It’s time for the world’s secular leaders to embark on a massive cultural mission to bolster their cherished principles, educate their citizens and empower critical thinkers in the Muslim world and elsewhere to step out of the shadows and do their work without fear. As one of the interviewees explained, the mere description of these attacks as “terrorism” instead of as “crimes” changes the way in which they are perceived.

It grows out of a fundamentalism, it is really something that grew out of the 20th century in the Christian perspective as a response to the whole rise of modernity, but I would say in many ways, that’s where it starts. And perhaps the only person who can stop it-or at least, turn down the heat-is Bush.
“There was a huge buzz (on the internet), a real buzz on social media, I think we had more than 400,000 or 500,000 views”.
