I think this is one of the aspects of the novel that the author has been particularly careful to point out. When I mentioned the characters’ “reading” of the scriptures, I was using the definition which includes interpretation, not just being able to understand the words. Best, Mary

I think scriptures aren’t the reasons behind the terrorism, but their scriptural interpretations are.
