I applaud the young Egyptian men (and, I would hope, young women) who are doing innovative things to solve problems in new ways. But I'm curious about one thing: are today's Muslim youth receiving an education that teaches tolerance and respect for other faiths? I continue to hear anti-Jewish and anti-Israel rhetoric from even well-educated Egyptians, Saudis, etc. And Arab TV networks continue to broadcast programs that feature stereotypes and conspiracy theories about Jews. Does Ms. Buchen see any evidence that today's young Muslim entrepreneurs are rejecting those myths-- in other words, are they willing to put regional politics aside and engage in projects that involve Jews? In a globalized world, we all meet each other sooner or later, so we might as well learn to work together!
