Bitterly Clinging to God and Guns

Why the war on terror is a long war:

While the UN, and the international community, has vigorously sought bans on the recruiting of children (usually boys in their early teens) by rebel groups, and some armies, there has much less outcry over the use of Islamic schools for training and recruiting children as suicide bombers.
It's part of a bigger problem in the Moslem world of hostility to modern education.

How is it that those Westerners who defend the oppressive status quo in the Moslem world are "progressive" yet those who hope to change that ideology to give Moslems a chance for a better future are often portrayed as "Islamophobic."
