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.

  • Amazingly cogent.

  • @guitarman2677

    Why should it be a lie? Hitler spoke highly of the Islamic prophet. This is a retrievable fact.

    "Try translating"

    That "Farben approach" of yours has been exposed as crackpottery many times over and over again.

  • @Wrath0fCon:

    Therein is your confusion.

    Try translating ALL of the words into English. NOTE: Islam & Qur'an are not English words.

  • @StopIslamaphobia

    Surah Al-Bayyinah, Verse 6:

    "Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur’ân and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from among the people of the Scripture and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. THEY ARE THE WORST CREATURES.[4]"

    Surah Al-Imran, Verse 85:

    "And WHOEVER seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will NEVER be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers[1]."

    "You are an atheist"

    Ive never claimed anything else.

    "missed my point the first time"

    Really? Doesnt look like to me. On the other hand it looks like to me its you who missed my point for the "hundredth time".

  • @Wrath0ftheConman:

    Oh....I see too....!!

    You're an atheist!!

    To be clear = you OBVIOUSLY missed my point the first time, so let me break it down to you to the point where even a 3rd grade student could understand.

    Now, did you catch that this time, "genius"??!!

  • @StopIslamaphobia Allah is scum

  • @StopIslamaphobia

    And your braincells few. I understand.

    Go have a beer or two.

  • @claton95:

    Fortunately, for me, that is, I have none of the characteristics of a fool and you're proving yourself to be one by trying to tell me to keep my mouth shut, even though my opening or shutting of my mouth has no bearing on the truth I've posted so far!!

  • @TaqiyyaExposer:

    GREAT!! With that screen name, you MUST know the true meaning of the word (taqiyya).

    Please give the TRUE definition of the word so that liars will stop lying, saying that it means "it gives Muslims carte blanche to lie in all situations" and that "all Muslims used that practice".

    No. No apology for not reading your post. I'm too eager looking forward to the true meaning for taqiyya (most Islamaphobes FAIL to understand its true meaning of the word).
