To be Muslim and American: two books examine how
Christian Science Monitor – Mar 20, 2007
BarrettFarrar, Straus and Giroux304 pp. , $25 As Americans wonder whether the home-grown extremism encountered in London could develop here, two new books offer valuable insights into the Muslim-American experience. Both are written by seasoned journalists, outsiders (one Jewish, the other Christian) who have nevertheless gained access to the lives of both prominent and ordinary members of the faith. In American Islam: The Struggle for the Soul of a Religion, Paul Barrett sketches complex, stereotype-defying portraits of seven individuals. These include a politically astute newspaper publisher in Dearborn, Mich. ; a black imam from Brooklyn, N.

Washington Post – Mar 20, 2007
The fact that the White House players had played loose on many fronts might have angered the Appointed Attorney. Starting from not touching the home grown charities of the House of Saud. A long distance runner this Attorney. I will read Triple Cross, but a big General Campbal had warned that the Egyptian the military wanted to move around to the highest and most secret training guides should not be intrusted and training offered to this Egyptian. The military didnt listen. What job could this attorney have had to stop the grooming of this man, if a top General couldnt halt the yoyoos from their passion to train him? This mastermind shouldnt have been allowed to go and fight with another army first off.

Washington Post – Mar 20, 2007
The Episcopalian church — the American wing of theAnglican Communion — is sharply split on the matter of gayclergy, while the Republican Party has used state ballotinitiatives banning gay marriage to get its supporters out tothe polls. Hudson estimates that over 90 percent of the Cathedral’s3,500 members are gay, lesbian or transgender.

Despite ‘Mommy Guilt,’ Time With Kids Increasing
Washington Post – Mar 20, 2007
You cannot do it all for them, so at some point you have to train them to be independent and they have to have self-initiative. 4 or 5 is not too early for them to have some responsibility. Frankly my 4 year old, who was home with mommy has grown by leaps and bounds now that she is in Pre K. She has her own friends, feels free to express her own personality and her confidence borders on fearless now. [With all smiles] she is an absolute character. I wish she would have had the confidence earlier. My wife even has to note how much she has grown by being out her shadow.

The Real Menace is ‘Thinkers’ Like Claire Berlinski
Baltimore Chronicle – The Baltimore Chronicle – Mar 20, 2007
Sometimes descending to the level of invective heard on right-wing talk radio in the United States, Berlinski’s explanation for her frustration and anger with Old Europe is a grab bag of café cultural criticism and sociological analysis. She condemns Western Europeans as morally bankrupt, weakened by the entitlements granted by their social welfare states, and unwilling to defend their societies or Western Civilization from threat. The Dutch in particular are derided for responding to home-grown Islamist terror with what she describes as the same sort of “bargaining with depravity” she claims they exhibited during the Nazi Occupation. Beyond the ugly vituperation expressed in sweeping generalizations, the most salient problem with her book is in failing to make methodologically defensible comparisons… She also makes the mistake of describing the crusade against the Cathars as “genocide,” when that description is no longer accepted by historians of the period. Fourth, Berlinski writes about ‘national character’ as if it was real. After “analyzing” the lyrics and stage performance of the German band Rammstein, Berlinski concludes that fanaticism is “a German quality. ” Elsewhere in the book she describes adultery as the “traditional French pastime. ” In what is surely the most atavistic comment in the book, Berlinski describes hybrid relationships as “genetically” diluting culture. Expressing contempt for objective truth—truth claims derived from the application of ordinary logic applied to empirical fact—is common among neoconservatives. What at first appears to be intellectual sloppiness in reality may be intellectual technique.
