Logic and its troubles

Recent events as well as articles written by many sources (probably including this one) have lacked logic. The average person does not ask or wonder about those problems, (mainly because of the lack of education in that area, this is not to mean that you have to be smart but that schools, do not teach philosophy and critical thinking. That with that most people do not learn how to ask questions and how to see through false arguments.) The war on Terror is one of the best examples because all logic would dictate that the only way to solve that issue would be to support understanding and thus reduce hatred and fear. Since man fears everything that is unknown but can easily adjust if dealing with something that can be understood, which is that the average Islam and Christian person have many things incommon. For one these would be the love for family and surely the strong dislike towards taxes and Bosses.
But all these points are not the reason fir this article so I apologize for being carried away, this article concerns itself (which it admittedly can't, only the writer can concern oneself with something) with the troubles logic is encountering today. Logic is being twisted and turned by fanatics and people that just don't care about the impact that their words might have, or they just like the power that these words give to the speaker. The only way of finding out misinformation is to analyze the written text and then to cross-reference it with information available that already had been verified. A great book concerning itself with that is 'Crimes against logic' by Jamie Whyte. It is easy to read and can show the wholes that commonly appear in reasoning. The book is written in the same way a conversation would be held which makes the reading experience very personal and even though that one reads a monologue one has the feeling to be part of the conversation.
