struggles with the prayer times. Eileen

>I disagree with Carool postion with respect to Mr. Schwartz book.  I found
the book to be overall an accurate and fair assessment of the pernicious
elements of wahhabism and the havoc it has wreacked on the Islamic world.
He has performed a great service by highlighting the great disparity between
these TWO faces of Islam. And by doing so, has shed some much needed light
on the mainstream tradition of of a tolerant Islam.  If he was a Muslim, I
would have accussed him of being too polite.  To quesiton his credibility
and motives, is I think inspired more by the fact that he is not a muslim,
then that he is lacking on either accounts.
