Cubano writes about the myth of the so called Islamic civilization and talks about the misuse of the term “clash of civilizations”

If we can first clearly define what a civilization is and what exactly the two opposing civilizations represent then may be we can start to discuss whether they are clashing. In my opinion, the clash of civilizations is a term that is general enough to be used to create a division between the Western world and all Muslims in the world and it is an excuse to legitimize discrimination. This way any country or society can be a target as long as they are Muslim and thus part of the ‘Islamic civilization’.

The future looks bleak to me but luckily there are many who are not easily persuaded by the garbage spewed by our media and politicians. They are the source of any optimism that I have left for the future.
