Allah, Jesus, and Yahweh deals with the moral and intellectual damage caused by religion-the subject of many of today's headlines. There have been at least five major religious invasions from Asia into Europe. In particular, the Middle East seems a virtual hatchery for faith and fanaticism. It's the birthplace of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam not to mention the earlier Zoroastrianism and the much later Baha'ism plus a plethora of minor cults and lunacies.
