Agree.
Quote:
It's the poorly educated, culturally isolated Muslims who have no clue about the greater world outside of their village. They are easily manipulated by zealots such as Bin Laden or cynical Muslim politicians who manipulate them into focusing their attention on others (such as Jews or Christians) and blame them for the miserable conditions in which they live.

This I disagree with. IMO It's not ignorance and isolationism that creates the Christian and Muslim zealots. There are plenty of zealots on both sides that are well traveled and educated. Lack of Reason and perspective are more of a cause for zealotry I think.
