Title: Unserious
Product review: The "otherness" of islamic culture has not only permanently benumbed some journalistic circles in the US, but it has also replaced the bad guy that reductionist American movie mentality has been so fond of creating. This book wants to exploit this niche of the market (thank God, merely a niche, though a quite big one). Horrid typifications, bad use of Arab, tendentious and prejudicial statements, research not carried to a full and serious extent: This and more forms part of the elementary threads of the book. Anyone who wants an academically or journalistically balanced understanding of Islam don't waste your time...
