And today's post means to enlighten us about how we just really don't understand Islam, and gave a handful of Muslim writers the pages of the Outlook section to educate us. Individual articles:
Strangely, not terribly educational. Would it surprise you to learn that the problem with Islamic terrorists is not something from within Islam at all, but rather the US? Yes, we are the problem. I mean, until Jerry Falwell said something about Islam, there was no sympathy or support for the Taliban and bin Laden in Pakistan. We responded to force with force, and that just makes the original force users mad. Oh, and read the whole section, and you can find that the problem with is Iran is not actually in Iran, with its open support for terrorism, open defiance of the UN and IAEA, and its holding of American citizens as hostages - well, let me just let you guess where the problem really is.
Pure, unadulterated crap. But the kind of opinions our "opinion makers" want you to have.
