Yeah. Though I'm sure there are some idealists out there too, like Shanshee says.

Still, you'd have to be a little bit nuts to brave the possibility of being murdered or beaten (either by radicals or the state itself). Makes me think of the people who went into the American south to help blacks register to vote back in the sixties... they were facing real danger in a very hostile environment.

My hat's off tho. Isolationism is obviously not an option if the Islamic world is going to be cured of its fear of change. Not that we in the west are necessarily the ultimate arbiters of that 'correction'... that's got to be a homegrown movement on their part.
