The FBI taught new recruits about Muslims with a power point presentation that recommended they read books criticised as sharply prejudiced against Islam.
A slide show used by the bureau for training new agents told them that Islam “transforms [a] country’s culture into seventh century Arabian ways” and is “hard for westerners to understand”. It said that Muslims were swayed “more by ideas than facts”.
The 62-page document, which was released under freedom of information laws, was designed to help agents perform “successful interviews/interrogations with individuals from the Middle East”.
It told new agents as recently as 2009 that Muslims engage in a “circumcision ritual”. One slide asked “Is Iran an Arab country?” before telling students that it was not.
It also said that agents should understand that the “Arabic mind” was “swayed more by words than ideas and more by ideas than facts.”
The document concluded with a recommended reading list of eight books, which included “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Understanding Islam”.
Also among the list was “The truth about Muhammad – Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion”, by Robert Spencer, an author who runs the jihadwatch.com blog.

I've long suspected that liberals, homosexuals, and atheists are pushing non-Christian immigration as a way to break down the Christian standards of our country.
All the trainees need to do is listen to some mid east state sponsored English broadcasts to learn the truth about Islam.
Programs like “The Koran!” and “Great Men of Islam” reveal more unintentionally than you would expect in western anti-Islamic propganda.
LOL - Unfortunately, I didn’t have an exec at the time. Now I do - a major who would probably do an excellent job of ‘splaining the concept!
Islam is a religion that is a political ideology.
Islam is a political ideology that is a religion.
Either statement is true.
Nuff said...
How is this a bad question to ask in a quiz?
I meet many people do don't know that Iran is not an Arab country.
I would postulate that Islam is not a religion as it does not have a higher purpose as do all other major religions.
