Re:Librarians (Score 1)

There are scores of books that discuss--and even argue against--Islam. The writers have decided for themselves where their limits lay. And some have, in fact, faced prosecution and persecution for publishing. But I'm really talking about histories of countries. There just aren't many--if any--on the shelves. You might find a couple of histories of Desert Storm, in the military section, or a book or two on Islamic art in the arts section. But there are no discussions of the Lebanese civil war, of the French or Britsh mandates in the Middle East. There's no analysis of how changing demographics are affecting the different Middle Eastern countries. I just think it's a grave under-representation that does not serve the public well. Hearing one side of a story is rarely adequate in any field. Hearing no side is even worse.
