Excellent Service to Humanity

I commend you sir, for your objective assessment of the calamities that we as "Christians" have and still are perpetrating on the defenceless and downtrodden non-Christian world. As a Christian and as an American, I am embarrassed and ashamed of our present leaders! 
Please let me know where and how I can get a copy of your book in English.

Now that I have read the third part of your thesis in today\'s NY Times, while I still admire and applaud you for highlighting the double-speak of western nations in attempting to gloss over our incalculable death and destruction we have inflicted on the Muslims, I am vastly disappointed that you do not even mention the rabid proselytizing postures of most Islamic countries and many so-called Christian nations of the west in treating punitively (by Islamic countries) and with disdain (by so-called Christian nations of the west)the non-christian faiths of this world which are after all embraced by more than 2 billion people, i.e, nearly a third of the world\\\'s population. 
 
I am speaking of Hinduism, Buddhism, Bahais, Jains, Sikhs, Shinto, Taoism etc. In most Islamic countries they are not even recognized to be treated with respect not even in Iran that you held up as non-discriminatory towards Jews, and Christians. Iran hunts down Bahais. Hindus, Bahais and Zoroastrians cannot even worship publicly, just as non-Muslims cannot worship publicly or bring in religious objects of devotion into Saudi Arabia. The Copts in Egypt are treated with disdain, officially that is! So does, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even Malaysia has recently been accused of demolishing Hindu temples. In Russia, the orthodox church has frothed at its mouth about Russians who embraced either HInduism, Bahaism or any other non-Christian faith. 
 
While all this is going on, the western nations are relentlessly pursuing proselytization in the ancient world of the east trying to convert Hindus, Buddhists, Shinto, Taoists and even Muslims into their brands of Christianity. 
 
I think that you need to add a chapter decrying proselytization by all Abrahamic faiths which do not even respect the right of other faiths to seek God in their own traditional manners. 
 
The German Churches are equally guilty of bank-rolling proselytization efforts overseas like their sister churches from the west and the Gulf countries which bankroll the building of mosques and madrassas in non-Muslim countries. Today, there are more mosques, madrassas and churches in India than what that country had at the time of its independence! That has spawned Hindu fundamentalism and a minority of Hindu fanatics have begun to take law into their own hands and create inter-faith conflict in a country where inclusivism and religious tolerance were the norms due its 3000 year-old Hindu traditions which allows for pluralism and does not preach exclusivism which unfortunately is the watchword of Abrahamic faiths. 
 
You should address that issue,and work for inclusion in the UN Human Rights Declaration a prohibition against proselytization by any religion if you want to rein in the madness of the west as well as the Islamic countries in reducing death and destruction against the defenceless peoples of this world. 
 
Both Islam and Christianity have much to learn from the tolerance of eastern faiths such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Bahai, etc. I very much hope that you will revise your book to add a chapter condemning the narrow-minded exclusivist philosophies of the Abrahamic faiths. 
 
Your essay completely ignores the plights of non-Abrahmic peoples at the hands of both fundamentalist and crusading Christians of the past as well as Islamic Jehadis of the present. I may have been a little premature earlier in praising your thesis based merely on the first two parts. I must now conclude that your thesis is too much slanted in favor of Islamicists.

A scholarly thesis that needed to be car

Jürgen Todenhöfer scholarly analysis of the current conflict between the Western World, Americans and some Arab countries requires a careful study, evaluation and response. It takes two parties to have a conflict. It is not fair to blame the West alone. Both parties must admit their responsibilities for the conflict and be willing to settle it diplomatically and friendly instead of using war and terrorism.
