in response to reader comment: Can western culture quell the middle east fires?

Dear Dr Pipes,

Thank you very much for writing about your visit to the Muscat Opera. I hope modernity comes to Islam and peace. I hope the ripples created by this Opera and by other such efforts one day reach far and wide and subsume the forces like ISIS, AlQaeda, and Boko Haram. May a day come when we can pick a car in New Delhi and drive to London without worrying for our lives and we do not meet a misguided human being any where on the way.
