Mixed Feelings
I enjoyed reading I Am Pilgrim if it wasn't for the hate and prejudice and degrading comments on Arabs and Muslims. I usually don't finish a book or a movie that carries this much hate, but I wanted to read till the end. The way the author describes Islam, Muslim men and women, illitracy and stupidity of a civilisation that was one of the first civilisations that contributed to modern science is unbearable. What I hated most is that as a work of fiction, the author's plot was during real world events that would only add to more people thinking this was closer to a non-fiction work rather than fiction. Things I hated most: The usual commentary by the author from one chapter to another: "Thank you Saudi Arabia" for giving us terrorists, "we, like the Jews, believed in the goodness of mankind" implying that Americans and Jews believe the good in people unlike Muslims, "over 45% of Muslim women cannot read or write" ~ where the hell did he get these statistics from, and the overuse of the superior tone and implying Ara bs and Muslims in general are stupid and inferior, how Arabs are garbage... Pure hate and an overdose of Islamophobia. I gave it two stars because it was a good thriller that I didn't want to stop reading.
