Ahmed Zewail: The West and Islam need not be in conflict
http://comment.independent.co.uk/commentators/article1919478.ece
We must not create barriers through concepts such as 'clash of
civilisations'
Published: 24 October 2006
Five years after September 11, we must ask, can western wars solve the
so-called global conflict with the Islamic world? The answer, in my
opinion, is no. A far better state of world peace would be achieved if
the West would make a serious commitment to the just resolution of
conflicts, and be genuinely involved, using a fraction of war costs, in
building bridges to progress and peace with an understanding of the
profound role of pride and faith in the lives of Muslims.
The vast majority of Muslims are moderates working for a better future
and seeking a peaceful life. As evidenced by past achievements, Islam
in its pristine state is not a source of backwardness and violence. As
recently as the September 11 event, the majority of Muslims were, as
the rest of the world was, against its violence. However, if despair
and humiliation continue in the population of more than one billion
Muslims, the world will face increasing risks of conflicts and wars.
