I like Tintin so I thought this might be an interesting gift for some young friends of mine. Unfortunately, the Tintin characters that decorate here and there have nothing to do with the text.

This review is from: Egypt: And the Middle East (Tintin's Travel Diaries) (Paperback)
I like Tintin so I thought this might be an interesting gift for some young friends of mine. Unfortunately, the Tintin characters that decorate here and there have nothing to do with the text. Then on top of that, the book is shallow and ignorant of it's topic. It's treatment of Islam is particularly poor. Islamic law is Sharia, not Charia. It uses stereotypes of 'fundamentalists' and 'holy war' that would offend many Muslims. Muslims don't worship some strange god called Allah. Allah is the Arabic name for God, the same as the God of Moses and Jesus. It also said that all the idols in Mecca were destroyed but the black stone, as though the black stone is an idol of sorts, which is incorrect. My young friends are Muslim so I couldn't give them such a book and for religious understanding, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else.
