Cole hasn't got a leg to stand on.

But could it be that he would like to be another little Esposito in the hope for millions of $$$$ for some kind of Islamic studies centre?

Now where would we get such ideas?

The things one can find on the web....

Our mission is to one day see the Muslims united under one Khalifah and under the commands of Allah (SWT). We focus on educating Muslims and Non-Muslims alike about the actuality of the religion and thereby work to preserve traditional Islamic values for Muslims across the globe. We pray that we may witness the dismantlement of western, secular dominance across the world as we hold it to be pagan and idolatrous in the majority of its presumptions. via Mosquewatch.blogspot.com

My personal favorite is from Sayyid Qutb's, Ma'alim fi-l-Tariq (Milestones):

CHAPTER 10
FAR-REACHING CHANGES
The foremost duty of Islam in this world is to depose Jahiliyyah from the leadership of man, and to take the leadership into its own hands and enforce the particular way of life which is its permanent feature.

So popular, it can be freely viewed online at numerous sites, including www.youngmuslims.ca/online_library/books/milestones/

Pick out your local "moderate" Muslim society, find their bookstore links on their website, and see how long it takes you to find Milestones.

Islamic terrorists??? What are you some kind of Islamophobe???

Of topic, but Cindy Sheehan is in Egypt protesting 'for' arrested Muslim Brotherhood members.
Way to go Cindy. You may accuse her of not being too bright, but you can't accuse her of Islamophobia...

"Islamic terrorists??? What are you some kind of Islamophobe???"

I just heard a FoxNews talking head use the term "hyper-radicalized extremists".

What, can we now have "moderate-radicalized extremists" or "hyper-radicalized moderates"? What would the difference be?

So Islam has NOTHING at all to do with terrorism??? Go tell THAT to al-lah, who tells Muhammad in the Kuran: "I HAVE BEEN MADE VICTORIOUS THROUGH TERROR!!!"

Juan Cole clearly is nothing more than another idiot who has deceived himself into believing that showing favoritism to Muslims cuts hims slack with Islamic brutality. He'll believe otherwise when some Islamic "moderates" come for him to saw his head off...
