What every American should know about the Middle East

Daniel Miessler wrote a short, easy to read, one page article on his blog yesterday that impressed me. He gives a very quick and extremely basic introduction to the Middle East and Islam that I think is valuable. Rather than quote it, I’ll simply suggest you click the link and take two or three minutes to read it.

In addition, I’ll quickly add a few facts about Morocco, which, while not in the Middle East, may still be of interest for some (or at least for me as I currently live in the Kingdom). Morocco is is about 60% Berber and about 40% Arab, and is Sunni Muslim (Maliki school, for those who know what that means) with some Sufism as well.
