Sure, those are terrible books. But really, reading the wrong books is not the problem in that culture. Ignorance is.

If you’re trying to keep a population clamped down, confused and angry, literacy is your worst nightmare. A curious mind is a dangerous thing.

I disagree with you. Lots of people in the midle east are educated and literate but believe the most stupid things (all the jews stayed home on 9/11, there are zionist plots everywhere, etc…) Just being literate does not make the person wish fro freedom. What they read matters.
