Questions, Questions, Questions!

<-- The good looking Sammy H.

Today, we were asking questions. In our inquisitive states, we came up with some burning questions that we want answered. We're going to look everywhere: Huntington, Lewis, Kagan, Toynbee, anything related we can get our grubby hands on.

Numero Uno:
What is the difference between modernization and westernization: are they completely different, indistinguishably similar, or simply inextricably linked? How is the Middle East modernizing without westernizing? Is that possible?

Numero Dos:
The long run! What will happen? What will western civilization class be like for students in 100 years? The Middle East dislikes us not because we are American but because of our western values and cultures. If the rest of the world continues to modernize at the same rate we did and join the club of western civilization will the Middle East's hate expand to everyone else as well?

Numero Tres:
If someone has an Islamic perspective, is it religion? Are they inseparable? What do Islamic nations say about us?

We hope you can help us on our road to answering these questions!
