There are always exception to the rule. Looking back, growing up in the Middle East I think my thought process was definitely narrow. It took Tuz and meeting more intelligent people at home in India to open up my mind. So yeah, it's harder to achieve intellectual enlightenment in a country where you could get jailed for a tweet or a blog (Technically it can happen in India as well btw. Difference being here people can and will protest the arrest and you have a better chance of getting out)
Btw., a jewish man was killed last night by the terrorist outside the Jewish synagogue in Copenhagen.
The terrorist was killed this morning by the Police.
Good riddance. Sadly, this will only create a bigger divide in the Danish Society

Middle East will never be civilized.
Of course it will.
But what many of The Golden Age dreamers always forget is that Freedom of speech, science, thought and expression was a key part of the Islamic Golden Age.
IS and simpletons dreaming of the Caliphate will never reach a Golden Age.
