Amis and Islam

Recent controversies over Amis' comments on Islam--

"In the press, Amis has been accused of lazy thinking and Muslim-bashing. The left-leaning Guardian ran a prominent feature, “Martin Amis and the New Racism,” with an unflattering illustration. Things have only heated up since January, with the British publication of 'The Second Plane,' Amis’s new book of essays, subtitled 'September 11: Terror and Boredom.' (The book, which received fairly tepid reviews in England, will appear in the United States in April.)"
