Ignorance is a powerful thing--it can lead otherwise rational people to believe falsehoods like 'all Muslims are terrorists', or 'Islam promotes holy war against the white devil'. "Culturally Speaking: Promoting Cross-Cultural Awareness in a Post 9-11 World" is a guide to better promoting understanding throughout the world, emphasizing that greater understanding between nations is necessary for a true resolution to the War on Terror. So many Americans don't understand the Arab world and will accept anything they hear out of ignorance, which author Mary Coons labels as the true enemy. "Culturally Speaking" is a must read for those who want to combat ignorance with rationality and informed critical thinking.
