Summary: Racist Book (Anti Muslim)
Review: This book is a racist book trying to target muslims. This book contanis pargraph after pargraph of insults to muslims. Such as muslims, are terrorist, muslims are wife abusers, muslims are poligamists and many more. What makes this book even worse is that it is required reading throughout middle schools.

Summary: Disghusting hate speech to innocent children
Review: I was shocked to find this in my child's school. I would beshocked to find it in any childrens' school. This books is nothingshort of racist propoganda -- children should not even see such hate at their young age. What a pity that the [message is] to put hate into readers hearts instead of trying to spread love. Is this the way to teach our future generation?

Summary: The Terrorist Was an Exciting Yet Discrimintive Book
Review: The Terrorist was an exciting book. But, saying that Muslims are just.... well...bad doesn't say a good thing about the U.S. I thought that this book was, yes, a thriller. But there were a few glitches. Such as, what happens to Jerhan?, How will Laura and her family recover from Billy's death?, and What happens to Laura's best friend? If the author really wants a five star on this book, I think she should write a sequal. (:^)

Summary: Why the West Encourages Stereotyping
Review: It doesn't surprise me the book stereotypes Muslims as terrorists. Why didn't this author know anything about Muslims, Islam, and the Middle East but terrorism? Is it ignorance? Or is it hiding facts that would change the worlds view about Muslims and Islam as a system? Islam teaches us that if we are to say something it is to be useful or to not say it at all. What this book does is nothing but creates hatred, misguidence, misinformation, and spreading lies about Islam. Fiction or not, it doesnt serve humanity in any way. The only ones served are the enemies of humanity! Don't let your kids get their hands on this book!

Summary: Disgusting and very stereotypical
Review: I cannot believe that this book is on its way to middle school students whom lack the choice in reading material. Hence, affecting their "train of thought" and embedding the stereotype of how Islam is NOT. This is absolutely outrageous. I'd like to see the same book written towards a specific church. Towards a Baptist church, for instance (nothing against them, just an example). Just imagine ...

Summary: a terrible raceist book that should never be published
Review: this is the worst book I ever read and I encourage people never to read this disgusting styreotepical raceist book that is a terrible think that would be givin to children to read if there was a lesser rating I would give that to it. I can't belive Caroline B. Cooney would be so raceist as to write this terrible book and I am disgusted with such a terrible writer who would write something like this and I would never read any of her books just because I read this book which deserves to be burned.

Summary: Religion is a sensitive issue, don't you agree?
Review: I do agree that Caroline B. Cooney has captivating story-telling skills but "The Terrorist" teaches nothing but inaccurate, offensive and stereotypical references to Muslims. Writers for children should always make their stories full of good values free from any bias against race or religion. Imagine Jehran was not a Muslim girl, and was replaced by a Christian character called Catharine or a Jewish girl called Hannah, wouldn't the story offend the people of those faiths too? Feeding our children's minds with ignorance and intolerance is what Cooney has done because from her writing, she shows no knowledge of Islam (and Muslims). I recommend this book if you support discrimination against religions!
Rating:
Summary: Vicious stereotype
Review: This is the most culturally obscene attack on Islam that I have ever heard of. It endorses stereotypes about Muslims, and it does nothing more that reinforce in young people what we do not need more of--vicious ethnic attacks under the guise of "literature," designed to influence the minds of young readers.

Summary: Wrong impression
Review: Dear fellow people, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that this book although thought to be good, conveys a wrong impression of Islam to non-muslims. The true religion does not support terrorism or ill-treatment of women. I am speaking on behalf a large number of muslims who just want you to know that our true religion is one of peace and tranquility. -thank you

Summary: A Disgusting Work Of Stereotypical Racism
Review: After reading this book, all I can say is that I am sick to my stomach. This book does nothing but endorse false stereotypes that Islam is a womanizing religion full of violent terrorists. The scariest part is that this book has found its way onto many middle school's lists of books to read! Here is one disgusting excerpt that really made me cringe: Page 111 - "Islam. You thought that religion was a pact between you and God, but it wasn't...Men who hated women. Men who wanted women literally locked in their clothes and their homes." Anyone who has been around Muslims knows this is not true. Yet why does Ms. Cooney wish to force this view unto the middle school students who this book is targeted for? I would really like to sit down with Ms. Cooney and explain to her the true meaning of Islam....
