For a corrective to the fundamentalists I would say read Hafiz. He is truly a marvellous poet. My father's best friend was Arab and many of my close friends at UNiversity were Arab. And one of my favourite girlfriends was Jewish and I am familiar with the lovely Jewish family life on the South side of Glasgow. So I have some understanding if the irreconcilables and no solution.
