The problem with Books

I have been to the Gulf states many times and agree that the slave labour that puts the shinny new buildings together do poor work. But the Arab states want the buildings to show off, not last. that is why they dislike buying existing housing as they assume it will fall apart.

Anti Israeli books would only be an issue if Muslims actually read books. The problem is they don't. If Muslims read more, and were more critical thinkers then the Muslim world would not be such a mess. The lower rates of literacy, and the general reluctance of the Arab world to read anything is shown clearly by how many books are actually published in the Muslim world each year, a pitiful number.

It does not take much intelligence to fire missile, if you have 150,000 of them to fire. They cant all miss. That is the problem.
