Islamists say they are misunderstood. They only want freedom to go the mosque and individual freedoms. One Islamist leaders says westerners do not understand them and think they want to lock up their women in boxes. Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood rebels did a lot of the hard fighting against the Gaddafi regime and Belhaj is one of the leaders running the capital Tripoli. See the interview with Belhaj by Rod Nordland in the New York Times, Sept. 1, 2011. Belhaj says he is grateful to NATO and the West for the help in fighting Gaddafi and holds no rancor- even though he was turned over to the Gaddafi regime by the CIA in this amazing account by Nordland.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
