Reader comment on item: Preface
in response to reader comment: Islam and Islamism NOT Fundamentally Different?

Submitted by B.K. Nambiar (United Arab Emirates), Nov 26, 2007 at 04:16

As a non-muslim living and acting as a Muslim for the past 25 years in the Middle East, among all virulent and moderate forms, I cannot find a better article on Islam and Islamism than what Mr. Ron Thompson wrote in his article. Truly he deserves to be called a philosopher and I wonder how he could maintain such perspective without living among Muslims.

One thing I want to ascertain, that while being loyal to their religion, 99% UAE nationals are very tolerant towards other religions.
