Last night His Majesty and the Crown Prince
came to have dinner with Laura and me and some members of Congress, and we had
a really good discussion . I
appreciate your vision and your desire to achieve a better world for the
people in your neighborhood .
We also talked about a topic that requires a lot of discussion and a lot
of sensitive thought , and that is the reaction to the cartoons. Finally, I have made it clear to His Majesty and he
made it clear to me that we reject violence as a way to express discontent
with what may be printed in a free press. If we are going to strive to move forward in
the future, the word that we should be talking about is acceptance.
Kuran's project will advance ongoing research on the role of Islam , and
especially Islamic law, in the economic performance of the Middle East from

The issue of the cartoons, again, and with all respect to press freedoms,
obviously, anything that vilifies the Prophet Mohammed -- upon him or attacks
Muslim sensibilities, I believe needs to be condemned. It will also facilitate a broader
range of study by bringing together a network of scholars, to be
known as the Institute for Economic Research on Civilizations (IERC), to
promote comparative research and raise the level of discourse on the role of
various religions and forms of spiritual capital in the economic performance
of civilizations.
Since then, social scientists have vigorously debated the concept of
social capital, but spiritual capital - a sub-set of the field - remains
relatively understudied. http: //www.templeton.
