Shortly after the capture of John Phillip Walker Lindh, the "American Taliban," I wrote an article about this book for my paper, Investor's Business Daily. When Lindh was in school, this book was widely used in his home state of California, having been the only book approved for use for middle schools in that state for several years. In writing my article, I did a textual analysis of the chapters on Christianity and Islam, counting the instances in which the words "persecute" and "tolerate" were used in their various forms. By my count, Christians were said to persecute people 10 times while Muslims were described as tolerant 10 times. Even worse, Christians were never described as tolerant and Muslims were never said to persecute people. So there you go.
