Should I be worried?................

I have cut and pasted the parts of interest in the article to me: Instead, the people most at risk are those who try to bridge the gap between the two cultures, those who try to broaden the scope of Islam to include ideas from other traditions, all the while critically questioning everything they learn. It is those who imbibe from both cultures and attempt to take the best from each that are most at risk, because they are seen as traitors, as collaborators, who must be eliminated. Those of us interested in genuine dialogue are quickly losing the ability to speak across cultures, bridge gaps, address legitimate grievances and support inquisitive discourse, because the arena in which that debate takes place has been commandeered by extremists on both sides, cordoned off into hostile camps, each bent on destroying the enemy they have fabricated.In other words, we should strenuously resist buying into the idea that the world is facing a clash of civilisations, no matter how many times that phrase echoes, because this is precisely what Bush and Bin Laden want us to believe.

Yes I think I should be worried about moving to Jordan where some terrorist attacks against Americans have been plotted and stopped and some have taken place, but if I didn't go, then the terrorists would win. I don't want to die or live in fear, but I also don't believe in the tactics of terrorism or letting it effect the world although it often does. I am not afraid of being dead, but I admittedly don't have a death wish. My biggest issue of going to work in Jordan is not that I myself might be a target of terrorism, but what my death might do to my family. That is my biggest guilt trip about going. If I had a dollar for every negative comment my friends and family have made about my decision I would now have enough money to keep me from going.
