The Crusades Are Back

April 16, 2012 · By John Feffer · Originally published in Burt Cohen Show

An interview about Islamophobia and how it affects politics today.

Fear replaces rational thinking; FDR knew this. Most Americans don't personally know any Muslims but we do know that those who caused 9/11 claimed to be Muslim. So today in 2012, we are in the grips of Islamophobia. The Institute for Policy Studies' John Feffer has a new book out called Crusade 2.0 which sheds much needed light on the crusade of a thousand years ago and the similarities to current fears and policies.
