Cultural Oasis: For Arab Children, Collected Works Offer Roads to Tolerance, Critical Thinking

چکیده
Violent reactions to provocative films and cartoons about Islam have left many people around the world more appalled by the reactions than by the provocations. In 2004, Dutch director Theodoor van Gogh was assassinated because of his film about the treatment of women in Islam. Since 2005, Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard has been the target of several murder attempts because of his depictions of the prophet Mohammed. In 2012, deadly anti-American protests swept the Arab world because of an amateurish anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube. This violent intolerance of opposing views has caused many observers to wonder how tolerance and critical thinking could be nurtured in the Arab world.
