Query: Biased and Inaccurate

The author seems to draw conclusions that the ineptitude of the Arab leaders of today are somehow caused by the tenets of Islam and the teachings of its prophet, which patently is absurd. Most western readers are not aware of the fact that while all of Christian Europe was in the dark ages, the intellectual culture of the early greeks and Romans was being preserved and expanded upon by the Muslims. The Muslims have made tremendous contributions in the areas philosophy, art, poetry, astronomy, medicine, etc. If the religion was flawed, as Miller suggests, this period of flourishing would not be possible. The situation as it exists in the Middle East today is one that is perpetuated by the west (i.e. U.S.) in order to maintain their oil interests. Miller clearly lacks 1) an objective perspective, and 2) any inkling of knowledge regarding the history of Islam and Islamic culture.
