when you say that the middle east is going to act differently than indonesia because they've been through different things, it proves my point. they can't all be lumped into the group that he lumps them into. Middle eastern muslims are different than indonesian muslims because they experience different things because of their different cultures/geographical location. Huntington's theory is too simple, the indonesians won't go to war just because the middle easter people with the same religion do, it won't happen.

Don't get me wrong, Huntington's theory has some good points to it that make sense, but I'm not gonna just beleive it because I read it so it must be true. There is a lot of controversy over his theory, I feel some people just read it and cite it to sound smart and think it's a unanimous opinion in the world and that it must be true.

and I still don't think that Indonesia has protested or become nearly as upset as some middle eastern countries.
