In case you didn't see it for yourself, a Nobel Prize was just given to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen bank. They have been giving out small loans to people who are too poor to prove that they can pay it back or put anything down in case they don't. Yunus had a lot to say about the East/West divide, terrorism, poverty, and how they are all linked. And I think he's right. There are some big issues in there concerning power and wealth. But I guess it's easier to just divide everything into us/them, good/bad, since that provokes a lot less guilt within us. All I know is that while rich Christians in the West work to kill off more and more poor muslims, some muslims in the East are taking big risks in the name of helping the poor and disenfranchised. Hmm...
Peace,
Matt
