Not sure what this crack is getting at. The “quotes” were there because that is how a lot of Muslims (especially a lot of religiously devout Muslims) view those lands/countries, but that is not how I view them (I was thinking in particular of Egypt, Lebanon, and perhaps Syria and Iraq).

the world is as it is, not how it could be.

I do not disagree. But one will never appreciate just why the world is as it is, or what made it the way it is, if one never considers how the world might have been, or could be.
