Title	Rituals Of Reconciliation: Arab Islamic Perspectives
URL	http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.q...
Description	Over the past ten years, many Middle Eastern scholars and practitioners trained in the United States have returned to their countries of origin ready to impart what they have learned about Western conflict resolution techniques. Because the teaching and practice of conflict resolution is a novel phenomenon in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and other countries of the Middle East, their testimony has often been greeted with distrust. Many view conflict resolution as a false Western panacea - as yet another program imposed from outside and therefore insensitive to indigenous problems, needs, and political processes. Indeed, some people in the Middle East view conflict resolution as a scheme concocted by the United States meant primarily to facilitate and hasten the processes of peace and "normalization" between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
