FP: Throughout my life in academia, myriad volumes have passed before me that contained criticisms of Christianity, within which there were various mocking and ridiculing portrayals of its tenets and values etc. Your book doesnt mock anything, but just quotes Islamic sources and lets them speak for themselves. I think that it would be essential to have this book as a must-read in the curriculum for every introductory course for first-year students in the Arts in university. Why is it that it is a given that this would never happen? For instance, in many courses where the topic of 9/11 is raised, all kinds of readings are given out that blame the U.S. for being the victim in this terrorist attack. Why wouldnt they at least offer this book as an alternative explanation?

It is a given, of course, that this book would never make it on any curricula readings in academia, even in courses on Islam which profess to give all sides of the picture. Why?

Robert Spencer: Because the academic establishment the Middle East Studies Association is not interested in really giving all sides of the picture. Since the 1970s it has been dominated by Edward Saids view that any critical look at Islam or the Muslim world by Westerners was ipso facto racist and imperialist. This idea has coalesced nicely, of course, with the multiculturalist dogma that the Judeo-Christian West is responsible for all the evils in the world, and that those outside of and set against Western civilization can only be victims, never perpetrators...

Also, it is not unheard-of for outright Islamic apologists to occupy academic positions in American universities, and to present Islamic proselytizing material in academic settings. This is in part a manifestation of the general American ignorance of Islam. Universities hire Muslim professors in order to teach about Islam and the Middle East, and the other professors know so little about the subject that they cannot perform adequate peer review even if their world view would allow them to do so in the first place. The academic establishment has become so politicized that many professors of Middle East Studies are presenting as fact highly tendentious and apologetically motivated assertions about Islamic teachings and history, and their peers either dont know or dont care, or both.

    fuck that pedo mohampig

  • Spencer is right. I just hope West wakes up. Westerners think Islam and muslims are like Christianity and Christian, where honesty and truth are virtues. Islam teaches deception (Al Taqiyya). The moslum good is said in quran the greatest plotter who TRICKS people to doom them. Mohammad also "promised only deception" (according to quran) and made treaties with non muslims knowing he would break them and did! It is celebrated in the quran and hadith. War is deception is the quote. Islam=evil

  • @Germania379 .read your posting .....you saying WTF? because you full of bullshit..that is your fuck

  • In Germany, Robert Spencer would go to jail for impersonating anti-semitic stereotypes. Don't waste my time with "he's a Christian", just take a look at his retarded face.

    They have the right to say anything against Christians and Muslims, but if someone speaks out against Jewish extremism (by quoting facts!), if sb. talks about the Jewish control of the media (by giving concrete names!), he is the most evil person on earth - according to them, of course. WTF?!!

  • very learned, wise, articulate one-sided and cunning speaker. Islam and campaign? I have never seen more disorganised community when it comes to promotion and campaign like Islam, compared to Christianity, let alone Judaism, praticularly post-war zionism and anti-anti-semitism, holocaust propaganda. As partly Jewish I agree on one thing and that is that Jews are the only ones amaong religions to question themselves, debate their own views

  • @TheEvilZionist The Jews of today do not hate Jesus. If you muslims seriously believe you are going to pit us against the jews, think again.

  • @TheEvilZionist "Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends." (Surah 5:51) "Fight against such as those to whom the Scriptures were given [Jews and Christians]...until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued." (Surah 9:27-)

    Jesus is honoured in Islam because he is seen as an Islamic prophet and chrisitianity is a perversion of his message. Although you won't believe it; but Jesus WAS a JEW!!!

  • @TheEvilZionist TROLL!
