To whom it may concern:

I am author of a new book, "Storm Over Morocco"; it is about a spiritual voyage that I took in 1978 from Paris where I was studying philosophy to Morocco. I was searching for supreme truth and studying Eastern religions as the path that would lead me there. While I was in Morocco I was invited to study Islam in a mosque which I resided for several weeks.

It turned out that it was a militant Moslem group and that I was not free to leave. During my stay, I had different confrontations with the Imams and Islamic gurus, especially over the concept and treatment of women in orthodox Islamic communities in which I lived.

My questions as to the treatment of women served as a catalyst for one of the Islamic gurus to accuse me of being a Zionist spy destined to sabotage their "back to Islam" movement. I was eventually acquitted of sabotage by an internal inquisitorial tribunal, but I remained a prisoner behind the tall walls of the mosque on the outskirts of Casablanca. The leaders of the mosque tried to convert me which I resisted thanks to my ecumenical approach to religions, such that I do not believe any one religion holds all the pieces of the puzzle.

I was able to withstand conversion due to my profound knowledge of different religions and the desire to focus on the common denominators between them.

The book is about my spiritual path, about fundamentalist religions and brainwashing techniques. It also discusses the status of women in orthodox/fundamentalist Islamic communities. It, however, is not at all a criticism of Islam as I learned a great deal from that religion.

After a three week author tour (signing and reading events) in France and the United States covering 18 cities, 8 states, I have returned to Paris.

From June 30th to July 6th, I'll be participating in signature/reading/discussion events in England, notably in London and Cardiff. In particular, I’ll be speaking at a conference at Cardiff University at a conference entitles “Theory, Faith, Culture” on the following topic: “Confrontation between Fundamentalists and Universalists in the New Age of Religious Freedom”.

I would like to respectfully request you to write and publish a review of the book. In the alternative, would you consider writing a story about my experiences in Morocco?

A tenured professor at the University of Paris and member of the California and Marseille Bars, I organize and participate in interfaith events in Israel and Palestine.

I can send you a pdf copy of the book or a hard copy. For more information about the book, including a copy of the prologue and my bio you could access my web site at www.frankromano363.com. You can also find the book at www.amazon.com and at the publisher's site at www.worldaudience.org.

Puzzling? Be serious.

Journalism has two duties: to the effect, and to the cause.

Effects can be fairly reported with a neutral (somewhat) point of view and I believe this is limit of most people's expectation of reporters. Expose what happened from those who experienced it.

Causes require critical analysis, which exposes the assumptions and thought processes of the analyst, supported by, one may hope, by citation of observed facts. Here the reader or viewer becomes part of the process: we are engaged in our own analysis with the reporter, if the job has been done right. Having done so, we agree, disagree, or decide that we can't decide. Ideally.

The danger is the problem that Intelligent Designers represent here in the US. That is, seeking causes and effects and filtering them to support a desired result. The Fox Opinion Network is a prime example of that in the US.

neutarlity is walking on sharp blade of sword ,a little you tilt you get a cut.so media should just present the fact and and ask the columinst to be fair in analysing of any events.

"BBC has another reporter covering the conflict from the Israeli side."

Except he is only covering it from the Israeli side to the extent that he/she is geographically in Israel. The BBC is so biased against israel from top to bottom that it is fighting in court to prevent it's internal investigation from going public (depsite being a publicly funded company).

Can you name one BBC reporter that is known for his bias for Israeli the way Johnson and others are known for his bias against it?
