Effective and Moderate Social Systems in the Middle East Countries
There are always perceptions, facts, and interpretations that are often associated with any particular phenomena, incident, and any event of any sort ( e.g., political, economic, social..etc), and there is always a significant amount of variance between the three, to which I believe the underlying causes of the vast majority of the world today's problems can be attributed. As far as the variance is concerned, I don't see nothing but our bias, selfishness, and voluntary blindness as the antecedents of such variance.

Fascism Returns And Is Warmly Welcomed, With Ethnic Minorities as Our New Jews
Most of us look back with horror at what Hitler did to the Jews – and the slaughter on an industrialised scale that took place in Nazi extermination camps in German-occupied Poland and Germany during the 1940s.

However, events have been moving rather swiftly lately, and it's maybe worth considering just where we are now.
