    Awestruck by this man's ability to concisely and reasonably explain the rise of Islamism. The operative modifiers being "concise" and "reasonable." No, this is not an empirically valid explanation, as he does not provide evidence. This comes strictly from his own powers of observation, but if I were to ask you to study, as a simple starting point, the causes of Islamic extremism, I couldn't think of a better place. In political science terminology, this theory generates hypotheses that are worth spending a career exploring. This is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing for me. This is appreciation of a genuinely inquisitive, highly literate and learned person, one with a powerful intellect and a truly open mind. I am astonished by this man's capacity to illuminate questions for consideration.
