To Sara Darwish,

I have read your article “Professor finds hope amidst violence in the Middle East”. This article and the man inside the article, Mr. Akram Khater, said that the people in the Middle-East are trying to resolve the violence by peacefully protesting. This is important, I believe, for Americans to know as most people in America think of the Middle-East being a place filled with violent people, but it was the “violent visionaries” who are the problem and the people are trying to find a way out of this regime. This was a very interesting article as even I have labeled the Middle-East as a violent place with violent people but this explains otherwise.
