I should think you could appreciate that in your own personal life, preferring our universities to a madrassa.
Your right. I prefer a regular university because I get to be in an environment where there's independence of thought. Then again, I've never studied in a madrassa so I dunno what I'm missing (Very little I think, although the thought of frolicking with 72 virgins for eternity isn't without it's appeal ;-))
We do need to be more receptive to other perspectives and interests and peoples, but that doesn't make us wrong about these jihadists.
Agree with almost everything in your comment, but I guess this is where we differ. I don't agree with the latter half of the sentence ie., I don't believe that there's anything right/wrong or good/bad.
This position may change in the future, but given what I've seen, this hypothesis is the only thing that makes logical sense to me.
