His last write-up is right up there with the likes of those imams and Taliban minds, who only approve of Islamic religious teachings mixed with political messages that portray negative images of the West. In Prager's mind, only the world according to the Bible is the accepted norm. In no way do I want to diminish the great value of the Koran and Bible to mankind, but in his attack on academia, the teaching profession and all higher learning, he hides dangerous thoughts that remind me of other nations who have used the intelligentsia as their whipping boy in pursuing their dictatorial, fascist goals. I had the unfortunate experience of living under a mad dictator the suffered the horrible consequences of that war. Broad education is an antidote to the narrowness of a dictated doctrine taught for the purpose of creating mindless followers for the state, or for those who pursue mind-control for their own ends.
