Professor Cole, Have you looked at how the Islamic banking model might be an appropriate alternative to the current status quo of the American financial system? I do of course realize that in its typical fashion it is tied to Quranic obedience, but its notions of interest and conservative economic practice might find many people to seriously considering it.
as liberal gun owner, I have to say- the 1st Amendment only has teeth if it is joined by the Second Amendment. If the government has nothing to fear, they will terrorize the population-
it seems to me that there is a very large vested interest in the whole "Global War on Terror"....
I think that money could be better spent by making people lives a little less awful- its a shame nothing was learned with the Soviet / Afghan War.....
it seems to me we should asking why we have 5 times the numbers of murders per-capita
weapons not-withstanding.
Maybe we should ask the Syrians?
the reality is that place like Finland- where there are over 50 guns to every 100 people seems to not have problems like this- the question is why?
the answer is that their society values life.
consider that.
