A Dozen Bad Ideas for the 21st Century
“Here is a list of false beliefs and modes of thought which make it hard for people in the West to come to terms with the challenge of Islam today.

Example # 7 The belief that everyone is good and decent, and if you just make a sincere effort to get to know another person, you will always come to respect them. This is not universally true. Holding this view is a luxury. Those who have experienced life under evil governments or in dysfunctional societies are shocked at the naivety of this assumption.”
