Recenzii
Insightful, well-written, challenging. Pintak is both a globe-trotting journalist and a distinguished scholar. He's not afraid to challenge assumptions, group-think, and the powerful.
Lawrence Pintak's America & Islam provides a valuable roadmap to what he calls 'the dark side' of America's long relationship with the world of Islam. It provides rare access to an impressive range of Muslim voices, while addressing one of the central questions of the American experience: How did we get where we are today? We ignore Pintak's findings at our peril.
In America and Islam, Lawrence Pintak presents a clear-eyed view of the fraught relationship between America and the Muslim world. Numerous American politicians seem eager to make enemies of the global Islamic community, relying on ignorance and mendacity to make their case. Pintak relies instead on the facts and first-hand reporting essential to understanding the realities of Islam. This is a timely and valuable book.
In this thoughtful and well researched book, Pintak takes a close look at why a deep misunderstanding of Islam still persists in America. The result is an honest, fair, clear and timely appraisal in which Pintak deftly avoids the temptation to simplify or patronize the complex dynamics at play in Islam today.
In this well-timed intervention, Pintak draws on decades of experience to deliver a sharply observed, critical tour of America's problematic political debate about Islam. Expertly tracing the passage of extreme views of Islam from the margins to Trump's White House, America & Islam offers an important guide for the media, politicians and the public.
For many years, Larry Pintak has used his unique blend of scholarly exactitude, deep area knowledge and the accessibility and clarity of a seasoned foreign correspondent to illuminate the bewildering array of events that cascade from the broader Middle East. Now, he broadens his aperture to view the interaction between the United States and Islam. His unblinking focus on open bigotry toward almost two billion people and the distortion of the religion they follow will not make you comfortable. But it may make you understand that words count and that the current poisoned discourse is doing grave damage to international security and our own social fabric. America has a long history of adopting morally wrong and strategically dangerous policies, and then correcting course. Pintak shines light on the dangers and then shows a way forward. May we be wise enough to take it.
This is an impressive and must-read treatise debunking Trump's racist and Islamophobic politics. Building upon a deep, decades-long knowledge of American and Middle Eastern affairs, and far from being apologetic, Pintak dismantles America's Far-Right destructive narratives on Muslims and Islam in the U.S. and abroad, and brings back sanity to a volatile debate.
