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.

@BusinessIDBAI absolutely disgusting. I can't believe you are able lie like that. I am completely done with you. Tanks for exposing atheists hatred for facts, logic and reason.

[NorwegianKafir]

@BusinessIDBAI you are starting to disgust me. You lie, run away from facts and questions, you repeat debunked arguments as if nothing has happened. And now you want to present me as a liar?

You don't understand the difference between changing one's mind and lying. Again you fanatic atheists shows that even basic rules of morality is completely alien to you.

[NorwegianKafir]

@BusinessIDBAI subjective morality IS a tenant you. Are you too stupid to understand that.

Oh, oh, clearly you don't understand basic logic. No wonder you are a fanatic atheist bigot. Not believing in Zeus, Santa etc makes no changes. Not believing in ANY divine giver of moral laws and standards however gives undeniable, based on the laws of logic, SUBJECTIVE morality and moral relativism.

[BusinessIDBAI]

@NorwegianKafir

So, you can't show a single tenant. You're saying, "I don't believe X, so therefore I will do Y." When was the last time you did something because you don't believe in Zeus, or Santa?

And I can demonstrate that you're a liar, very easily, you've said you're done, but you keep posting. You lied when you said you were done, ergo, you're a liar, and cannot be trusted. Its wrong to lie right? So why do you do it? Thanks for proving your theistic morality is subjective.

[NorwegianKafir]

@BusinessIDBAI yes, extremely retarded subjective morality and moral relativism. Follows logically and automatically from equally retarded atheism. 

[NorwegianKafir]

@BusinessIDBAI give me the examples with your comments and I will show to everyone that you are a a moron.

[BusinessIDBAI]

@NorwegianKafir

Atheism has tenants? Really? Can you point me to the tenants of atheism?
