• ¿Es el Islam una tribu o una fuerza de globalización? No cabe duda de que el islam se ha estudiado como un fenómeno local y tribal. Pero en teoría también es una idea universalista, su difusión se ha visto facilitada por las tecnologías modernas y es una identidad en la que la gente puede entrar y salir con bastante facilidad. No creo que el islam se haya entendido realmente como un producto de la globalización. Puede que sea uno de esos casos en los que globalismo y tribalismo acaban yendo de la mano.

• Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same.

Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long.

• What I want to know, though, is why all of a sudden is everybody acting like gangs are some new phenomenon in this country? Almost everyone in America is affiliated with some kind of gang.
