America and Radical Islam

April 3, 2008 by Dr. Mc.

I regret that my travel schedule will prevent me from
attending either presentation by Dinesh D’Souza in Birmingham, AL on April 17th,
but perhaps some readers are within driving distance. He is speaking at the
Latimer House Luncheon, 11:30-12:30 PM ($10 lunch) on his new book

What’s So Great about Christianity, and at Reid Chapel, Samford University at 7 PM
(free admission) on "Christianity, Islam, and the War on Terror." Neither event
requires reservation. I was not familiar with Mr. D’Souza’s work before hearing
of these events, but I am intrigued by his

Washington Post article in response to his other writings. Anyone who is
that criticized must have something to say! If you can’t attend, at least read
the article.

I can’t say at this point if I buy his total view (I
haven’t heard his total view), but in the article he well defends the following
argument: "The thrust of the radical Muslim critique of America is that
Islam is under attack from the global forces of atheism and immorality — and
that the United States is leading that attack."

The man warrants a hearing.
