War in the Name of God

Copyright: Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata and Individaul Authors, February 2002.
"Fair use" encouraged.

This essay is based on an article in Capitalism Magazine on the Web:

Is Islam at Fault? By Warren Ross (October 2, 2001). Website of Capitalism Magazine: in Defense of Individual Rights. "Warren Ross is President of the Houston Objectivism Society and a scientist in the petroleum industry." backup That suggests that this will be a conservative piece, probably libertarian.

The essay addresses a question many are asking today. As Akbar Ahmed says in Islam Today, "For the last thousand years, the West treated Islam as the 'other', as 'over there' . . . . today this simple world-view has been complicated by the presence in the West of over ten million Muslims." (Islam Today, I.B. Taurus Publishers, London. Reprinted 2001. At p. 171.)
