Reader comment on item: Islam in American Textbooks

Submitted by Roulala (Belgium), Mar 18, 2009 at 17:26

Of course, there should be explanations about Islam in American school handbooks. But a truthful talk, not some sugary one... Like the definition of jihad...It's preposterous to hide part of something just because it's not politically correct. But it's like standing on a cleft stick. What if it gets people even more scared of Islam and prejudiced against muslims?
