...John Walsh: Understanding literature is better than just calling it names

In fact, Dante's poem owes a good deal to Muslim religious writing, especially Isra and Miraj, about Mohamed's night-time journey to heaven, and the Risalat al-Ghufran, about a poet's wanderings in the afterlife. In Dante's lifetime, there was lots of contact between West and East, much productive traffic between Christian and Sufi mystics. Might it be better for Gherush92 to suggest that students were taught the connections between Islamic and Western philosophy, than trying to emphasise their differences and hide Italy's greatest literary masterpiece because they're frightened of upsetting a gang of extremists?
