I missed the 3:55 a.m. Houston showing of this “award-winning” (who’s award, I wonder?) documentary. I was up, but throwing my newspaper route.
I did, however, read the Discussion Guide in full. It should be equally condescending and offensive to both devout Muslims and Baptists.
The “review” you referenced isn’t without its faults either. Show me one devout Muslim or Christian who doesn’t believe his faith is “heavenly superior” and I’ll correct the characterization of that individual from “devout” to “nominal.”
That’s what I believe this project is promoting–works-oriented, pluralistic Baptists and cultural-only Muslims. Otherwise, the target audience would be only the criminal element of both traditions.
