Turks also are not readers, from what ppl have told me. Maybe they were under Ataturk, but not now. Are you Turkish?
From responses I’ve received, this is generally true across the Islamic world. Add to that only about 15% of Muslims even understand Arabic. The rest are memorizing and repeating sounds-they have no idea what they’re saying. Education/Literacy is the key to solving this mess.https://twitter.com/confessionsexmu/status/939599322772992000 …

Hi Curtis, I have zero desire
It’s not my scene. Being part of a party and toeing the party line reminds me too much of being Muslim and it gives me the heebie jeebies. I can’t be part of any tribes anymore. I’d lose my ability to be a straight-shooter xxThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ya. Ppl that don’t know what’s being said say ‘the Quran sounds so beautiful’. Well Im sure if you read Mein Kampf in a lyrical voice (as lyrical as German can get
) it would sound ‘beautiful’ too. - 1 more reply

2 goals: 1) Strong English education so students have access to diverse sources of info & 2) Women's educatn & participatn in work force. Women are key to edu of next generatn; more educated women also lowers birth rates. Quality, not quantity.

CORRECT. education of women and girls coupled with micro loans to them to set up small local businesses. Rate of superstitious nonsense, religious oppression, misogynistic abuse and downright poverty, decrease measurably.

Public Libraries have developed in the US by communities raising money to build libraries and raise money for books. Talked to men living in Najaf & Basra Iraq whom have no idea of the value of a public library. They said "why do we need to read a book?"
