Harris is stricken by the amount of preventable suffering in the world?

Should "Harris is stricken by the amount of preventable suffering in the world and has identified ending religion as the cure..." be "Harris has identified that the world is stricken by the amount of preventable suffering and that ending religion is the cure..."?

Because it is not Harris is stricken by the suffering but the world, because Harris has enlightened himself to avoid such suffering.

Reception

Commenting in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Book_Review during the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2008, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pinker chose Letter to a Christian Nation as the one book that he would want http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama to read, saying: "Some have criticized the uncompromising tone of this atheist best seller, but it's mild stuff compared with the acid you guys have been flinging around. The book will put you in touch with the fastest-growing religious minority in this country, help you understand why our European allies consider us so backward and encourage you to keep your distance from kooks who call themselves spiritual leaders."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-6} Reviewing the book in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Chronicle, Jean E. Barker wrote: "This combination of ruthless argument with polemic designed to provoke... will further delight Harris' supporters and infuriate his critics. His glee in his own intelligence aside, Harris is stricken by the amount of preventable suffering in the world and has identified ending religion as the cure... This small book adds little new to Harris' argument in "The End of Faith"—indeed, he repeats a number of his examples. Its strengths are the clarity of Harris' writing, his critique of religion's current entanglement in public policy and his continuing willingness to speak up about some very controversial ideas, even if they're difficult for others to hear."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-7} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post reported in 2006 that Letter stimulated both strong positive and strong negative reactions, attracting both a large audience and strong counter-reactions from religious scholars. The Post said the book "doesn't drill many new theological wells," but that Harris "might be the first man to be anointed 'Hot Atheist' in Rolling Stone magazine."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-8} Jamie Doward of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Observer said Harris "wastes no time taking on his enemy - Christian fundamentalism of the sort that influences President http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-9} Reviewing the book in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Observer, Emily Bobrow said: "His new book may be smug in spots, but Mr. Harris makes a good case for a new and intellectually honest conversation about morality and human suffering."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_a_Christian_Nation#cite_note-10}
