I am frustrated.
I was looking up books on amazon for my thesis, and i came across one called preachers of hate. (about how muslims and islam are, of course, evil. all muslims. evil.) the reviews of the book were all glowing with praise for letting people know what hateful people these muslims are, and insisting that this should be mandatory reading for all schoolchildren. "Muslims are maggots!" said one person.

I wrote an email to amazon asking them to look over the reviews and ask themselves if they had any merit as book reviews or was amazon just inadvertently giving these people a forum to spout their prejudice and hatred. Grrr.
