What are your thoughts on people like the late Bill Haast, who willingly/eagerly inject themselves with poisonous snake venom in order to become immune and/or benefit from its "healing" properties?

Hi Bassem!

Is there anything you can say to Westerners to help us better understand the Middle-Eastern mind? A friend from Pakistan told me the way we view authority is different—that kids are taught to obey without question. It gave me more sympathy to the general populace in Arab countries, because it makes sense why their leadership chafes against criticism. I really admire you and those like you who encourage dialogue and healthy criticism, especially because it costs individuals to do so. And do you feel you've managed to get through to your countrymen?
