It doesn't reflect the teachings of Islam in most regions where the religon is prevalent.
But then again, Hoz never let facts get in the way of one of his anti-Islam rants has he?

If he was interested in 'balance', he'd acknowledge that some Western textbooks, including those published by and presumably used by Bob Jones University, are guilty of the the same demonization.
