1 | God is not the author of evil. | Job | flinkywood | 99091 | ||
Thanks, Steve. I'm 1/4 through that terrific Belloc essay on Islam you URL'd me: (http://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT) A great book to go with it is Bernard Lewis' "What Went Wrong? The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East." Lewis says that Islam's early embrace of classical learning was because its theology emphasized knowledge as a route to the divine. I like the Romantics, sometimes. Colin. |

Colin, I own the book by Lewis. I bought it and read it shortly after 9-11. Lewis also emphasisized the victim status that Muslims identify with and the fact that they project all their anger outward at others instead of at their own corrupt rulers as a big part of the problem(p 22-23). He also mentions the lack of distinction between God and Ceasar or Church and State in the Muslim world(p 100-103) and the lumping of slaves, women and unbelievers together in their thought patterns(p 67, 94).

3 | God is not the author of evil. | Job | flinkywood | 99135 | ||
Steve, I'm also in process of reading Lewis. I remember early on, after 9-11, that Bin Laden said (I paraphrase), "The difference between George Bush and me is that he loves life, and I love death." It makes no sense that anyone would want to join that club. Colin. |
