appalled and "suprised" (U.K.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Annual Editions: Global Issues 05/06 (Paperback)

An article in this book, entitled "The Great War on Militant Islam" by Andrew McCarthy, is very alarming. Not only is the inaccuracy of the article disturbing, but also the language used in reference to Arabs and Muslims is extremely racist. Below is an excerpt from the text.

"Christianity and Judaism in particular - regard themselves, like Islam regards itself, as a final, divinely revealed truth. Yes, they too proselytize, and they have their occasional religiously motivated murderers. But those are aberrational and instantly condemned by the rest of the faithful. On the Planet Earth today, only Islam sports an unbridled faction that systematically inculcates hatred, systematically dehumanizes non-adherents, and systematically kills massively and indiscriminately."

Surely if the editors allow this sort of thing to get through, then the rest of us must question the validity of other articles in the rest of the book!
