Experts in Islam, Human Psychology, International Legal Norms, and the effect of History on Modern Religion will examine and discuss their areas of expertise to lay the groundwork for developing and designing more effective national and international legal measures to prevent and counter terrorism.
No comments? Nothing. Ok. Me first. I'm currently convinced (UCLA group notwithstanding) that this is the most significant and important systematic reading of the human condition available to date. Do a YouTube search for "Sheldon Solomon" or "Ernest Becker" and listen, learn, and grow.
