“Muslim malice” commentary stirs Portland community

(Portland, Ore.)—Tom Krattenmaker, associate vice president for public affairs and communications and professional writer, offers regular commentary on religion and public life for USA Today and The Oregonian. In his latest op-ed, Krattenmaker points to anti-Muslim rhetoric as not only demeaning to Muslims but destructive to U.S. political discourse. His challenge to all Americans to call for a halt to what he believes is “demagoguery of the cheapest sort,” gets a robust response from The Oregonian readership.
