What The Future Holds

Here's a good video with experts pondering the future of Muslim society in the political future about to unfold in the Middle East:

Personally, I think it suggests that the very act of supporting oppressive regimes, which tend to crush personal rights and liberal thinking, encourages fundamentalism and radicalism.

There is no point finger pointing and looking for fault. What we can do is welcome the new faces of Muslim society to the global community. Who knows, we may or may not all like everything we get, but moving forward beats the status quo.

A spark of hope is descending. Let's not stomp it into the ground.
