The amazon reviews don't seem THAT bad...
I just went to the book page in Amazon and read through it a bit. Doesn't seem especially problematic to me - I might disagree with some of the opinions of the kids interviewed there, but so what.
I'm an Israeli, and this US reaction is totally wierding me out. I don't see what banning this book will achieve - will it suddenly make all young Arab-Americans in NYC vanish? Will it make them more complacent and "american-like"?
In Israel our schools try to teach as much as possible about the "other" in our civilization (Arabs, gays, immigrants, etc). I should think that if young Arabs choose to tie their fates to the fate of the USA they at least deserve to be understood.
