The execrable Kristof<\/a> <\/p>\n

Terror incidents lead many Westerners to perceive Islam as inherently extremist, but I think that is too glib and simple-minded. […] One of the things I\u2019ve learned in journalism is to beware of perceiving the world through simple narratives, because then new information is mindlessly plugged into those story lines. In my travels from Mauritania to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan to Indonesia, extremist Muslims have shared with me their own deeply held false narratives of America as an oppressive state controlled by Zionists and determined to crush Islam. That\u2019s an absurd caricature, and we should be wary ourselves of caricaturing a religion as diverse as Islam. So let\u2019s avoid religious profiling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s denounce terrorism, oppression and misogyny in the Islamic world \u2014 and everywhere else.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
