Attacks on faith
IN his review of “My Year Inside Radical Islam” [“Path of Religious Awakening for an American Convert,” Feb. 19], Zachary Karabell actually wrote, “Though it is hard to imagine denizens of a New Age religion waging war against those who reject it, the same can’t be said of Jewish and Christian fundamentalists.”
Oh really? I don’t know in what parallel universe Karabell dwells, but I, for one, am totally unaware of either evangelicals or Hasidic Jews blowing up school buses and pizza parlors.
And, for the record, when it comes to religion, people may be followers or believers or disciples of a faith, but they are definitely not denizens.
