Yesterday I found a book at Barnes and Noble called, "The Truth about Islam" in the Religions section right next to books defending Intelligent Design. I opened the book and discovered it said awful things about Mohammad and against Islam in general.
Who controls Barnes and Noble? Is it controlled by Christan radicals or is this just a blunder on their part?

I certainly am not defending the Christian Right agenda, nor am I defending Barnes & Noble. BUT, not all Christians bash other religions. It is not their "agenda" to defame Islam. Certainly, it is a hateful book, but the wording of your question is not necessarily fair. Did you look to see if there were books criticizing Christians?

I walked into the same Barnes & Noble store, and saw a copy of the Quran. They do not have a Christian "agenda," or an Islamic one, for that matter. I've seen a book about Satanism too. If I find a cook book in their store, does that mean they have a food agenda? Utilize more common sense.

I enjoyed Borders. i will make do with Barnes & Noble and Amazon, yet Borders replaced into continually my famous. I did my section. i purchase a lot of books, and formerly they closed my Borders down, all of them have been from there. i do no longer think of petitions and issues like which would be very effectual in this occasion. it is a enterprise, no longer a regulation to get replaced or a reason that persons could desire to be recruited to. it is capitalism, and that's how capitalism works. some companies thrive and a few fail. it is in basic terms the way it is. EDIT: @the mystical Quill/team Hedwig: You style of look to hate electronics. while you're so against them, perhaps you need to...oh...get off of the pc? i'm exceedingly particular it is considered an digital gadget. For me, revealed books are king, yet ebooks have their reward as properly, for many human beings. Get down off your pedestal and end being overdramatic.

B & N's only agenda is to make money. Therefore they sell books that they think will interest the reading public. Given the national discussion on Islam, it stands to reason they would stock books: pro, con and neutral. It's not their job to be a propagandist, and the wide variety of books they offer on Islam and other religions gives testament to that.

Also at Barnes & Noble:
A Course In Miracles;
The Seth books (Jane Roberts);
The Science of Mind.
It is unhealthy to see dark agendas and conspiracies everywhere.

I don't think so. I don't think they are responsible for the content of the books they sell. Every one has an agenda these days. Don't take it personally. They are just selling books.

Freedom of expression is not a 'blunder' in the USA.
Hoping the best for you anyway...

Probably not, the ones around here are huge...
It's probably one section of the store that appeals to the readers of your area.
