So, as I am wont to do, I was devouring my newspapers at St. Elmo’s (the best coffee shop in Alexandria- come visit!) and ran across this article by Reuel Marc Gerecht (Israel’s New Islamist Neighborhood) that blew me away. It was even a topic of conversation with a few of my friends. Not because it discussed Israel (which is a topic near and dear to my heart), but because of the thought processes it engendered about the more global situation.
