Dalrymple examines Islam

Here is a lucid Theodore Dalrymple article detailing the problems with Islam in the modern world. It's not a new analysis (you can see the same in Bernard Lewis's books), but it is clear and compassionate in its approach. I found it through David Brook's Hookie Awards article in the NYTimes. David Brook's lists a lot of very interesting articles from 2004 that are worth following up.
