Irrational Propaganda Does Not Contribute to Dialogue

To the Editor:

It does not contribute to rational debate or inquiry to publish a commentary of this nature, framed in fiction and with a message solely based in emotional appeal ("Allahu Akbar and a Bang," Jan. 11).

In this case, it effectively amounts to blatantly offensive anti-Arab propaganda -- which The Dartmouth has not merely tolerated, but sponsored. The publication of this piece is irresponsible and appalling.
