Yes. In the U.S. we have encouraged integration of people who would
have otherwise segregated themselves. Seems like the nations of the
middle east could solve problems in the same way. Import Hindus,
Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Agnostics and Atheists to live among
the Muslims, so that no religious or cultural group has a majority
anywhere on this planet. Then perhaps the extremists of all brands
would give up the notion of a holy land somewhere.
THAT would be a sweet closing of circles indeed.
