10 and ½ COMMON MYTHS ABOUT MUSLIMS (in no particular order): Re: Some People

» BrotherJones - Re: Some People

In response to Some People posted by Pinky102:

In that sense they are true fundamentalists--anti realist--promoters of prejudice and hatred. They have no objective knowledge of the World of Islam--it is plain to see. Everything they know about it has been picked up from their prejudicial viewpoint.

Maybe you could give a recommendation of the best book that you have read so far that details and describes Islam and her people. The sixth edition of Islam by Caesar E. Farah has been the basis for much of my understanding and comments over the years.

You might want to read this book. It provides an objective view of reality involved in the situation in which the world has been thrown by the fundamentalist hatred of Christianity that support Judaism. And, pretty much, those Christians (??) are in its pages. Title: Battle for God: A History of Fundamentalism Author: Karen Armstrong Publisher:

Again, you probably would do well to source an Islamic book written by a Muslim if you truly are interested in an objective account of Muslim fundamentalism. I am not suggesting that Muslims will be entirely objective, but your desire to paint all believers who hold to an historic faith with one brush stroke is unfortunate and by your own reasoning which at times is very acceptable, you should seek sources that are not tainted with inbred liberal Christian logic as it understands fundamentalism.

Here is another suggestion. Spend more time listening to the author of this thread talk about Muslim fundamentalism. You could stand to learn something from a more direct source than Karen Armstrong.
