WASHINGTON — American foreign policy is handicapped by a narrow, ill-informed and “uncom- promising Western secularism” that feeds religious extremism, threatens traditional cultures and fails to encourage religious groups that promote peace and human rights, according to a two-year study by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. The council’s 32-member task force, which included former gov- ernment officials and scholars rep- resenting all major faiths, delivered its report to the White House on Tuesday. The report warns of a serious “capabilities gap” and rec- ommends that President Obama MEAGAN THOMPSON/Times-News make religion “an integral part of Rachel Dawson, 19, taps on her laptop as Meg Shackelford, 20, discusses a book by psychologist M.
