Quote by: saif It is quite disturbing the ignorance that flows from peoples minds and toungues reguarding Islam and its Practices. This can be seen from the Senate Intellegence committee (who have no idea the differences of sunni and shi'ite) to the common person who has repeated these assumptions without any type of validation on their part. the majority of the populace here in the US have become parrots repeating their favorite heroes and taking what they say as the absolute truth. Whether they receive their dalal from Pat Robertson, George Bush or the State Department, they have no true inclination as to what Islam is nor the significant history prior to this engagement. But that is what to be expected from people who have no understanding of their own Christian faith, who practice blindly without ever really caring to reveal the Truth.

Considering the fact that the NIE was written in two weeks I would agree, however, claiming that an objective truth exists should be considered dishonest.
