Well, well, well...A biased (religiously) piece by a religiously (biased) Author. Without speaking to the substance of the write-up, for there I would be editorializing, but only to the nature of the work, this is fundamentally an opinion piece. It is decidedly not objective reporting. Keeping that in mind, as an op-ed, it is in the main a political screed. A quite virulent one at that. And as such, it stretches one's tolerance for tedium and tendentiousness. The patience of a Saint with the concomitant self-flagellation is (almost) what is required to get through this work. Not a worthwhile read. Do not waste your time and intellectual energy.
