What really makes this interesting is the perspective.  “The Conflict is in the Mind” is how the story ends.  In essence, it is also how it begins.

The premise is that if students in Israel were to take the Quran, the sacred religious text of Islam, and find positive psychological affirmations and teachings, then write stories of how they relate to life, then they will learn that the hatred associated with their “enemies” can be abated.  On top of this, the instructor delves deeper into the psychology behind each story and gives a practical psychological correlation to it as it applies to today’s world.

Thus, Quranet was born.  It is receiving press from both sides of the issue.  The video is worth the 2:20 that it takes to watch it and ponder.

Original Description:

Quranet is an online attempt to highlight the humane parts and preaching on the Quran. Trying to bridge the Islam and the western world and values.
