KAREN ARMSTRONG, AMERICAN CULTURE EXPERT. I just got back from a talk by the author, who wrote "A History of God," and "Islam: A Short History." Be sure to avoid any book she pens with the word "America" in the title. Asked about her time in America post 9/11, Armstrong said, "they say there is no state religion in America, but there is: it's called patriotism. You should see it, with the flags and everything. The country really has a 'kill 'em all' mentality....The media and government really distort Islam." I could go on, but you get the point: America is what is misunderstood here.
