Indoctrination of

[leo9]

According to the article: "The Council on American-Islamic Relations has condemned the book as "disgusting", saying that it characterises all Muslims as linked to extremism, terrorism and radicalism, which could lead children reading the book to believe that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11, and that followers of the Islamic faith are their enemies."

Yet the book apparently states: ""Children, the truth is, these terrorist acts were done by freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists. These crazy people hate the American way of life because we are FREE and our society is FREE." [emphasis mine]

They don't seem to be pointing the fingers at ALL Muslims.

So in the same way, if someone tells children to be afraid of evil black drug-addict rapists, that's OK because it leaves open the possibility that other black people are just fine.

And you wouldn't mind a bit if some Xian author was telling children that wicked faith-hating atheists should die for killing babies, because you're not a wicked faith-hating atheist so it obviously isn't aimed at you.

I think naiveity doesn't sound convincing coming from you.

It is a lot more than that. It is a hate-and-violence picture, and message, for children. It is indoctrinating hatred and fear. It is the vilest thing I have ever see.
