Would you say that the self-declared jihadists have all the right questions but all the wrong answers? Most of the time, religious wars are more politically motivated than anything else. If so, is it possible to address these questions in a manner that can be satisfactory to all parties involved?

I know a surgeon who moved from Europe to work in Kenya and he is required to take and pass an examination before he can practice in Kenya because some of the diseases that are prevalent in tropical countries are unknown to doctors who did not study in tropical countries.

Are you requred to take examination for each and every country that you visit is there a general examination for all tropical countries?

If a lot of your collegues are 40-50s and up, what do you talk about when you have a get together?

But I think there's something universal about the anecdote too. That even bad or evil people plunge themselves into a kind of religious and spiritual darkness but that that darkness hasn't taken over entirely, at least not yet. Muslims would probably say that there is a fitra (nature) to man and that the fitra is never totally extinguished.

This is beautiful. I love it. Thank you for the answer.

Edit: I would like to add that this is one of my favorite Nelson Mandela quotes

"Even in the worst times in prison", Nelson Mandela wrote in retrospect to 27 years of imprisonment, "when my comrades and I were pushed to our limits, I saw a glimmer of humanity in one of the guards, perhaps only for a second. However that glimmer was enough to give me assurance so I could live again. Human goodness is a flame that can be hidden but not extinguished."
