Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Was Muhammad a Prophet of War? A Rebuttal of Professor Juan Cole

Jul 17, 2020 12:00 pm By Isaac Marshall

 ‘The Qur’anic verses commanding self-defence have been cherry-picked by anti-Muslim writers and by small cells of extremists to depict the Prophet and the community as militant. This is far from accurate’. This excerpt is from what I believe is the most disgraceful video I have ever seen on Islam: Muhammad: A Prophet of War? […]

The University of Michigan’s Juan Cole and the “Anonymous Troll”: the “Troll” Responds

Feb 24, 2019 12:00 pm By Stephen M. Kirby

A great university is defined in large part by its outstanding faculty. The University of Michigan attracts faculty members with commitment to excellence in both teaching and research, as shown by the high quality of its graduates and the superior research and scholarship by its faculty.[1] Juan Cole is the Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor […]

Islamic “reformer”: “Islamic orthodoxy deviated from its foundations by abrogating the peaceful verses of the Quran”

Jan 6, 2019 2:08 pm By Robert Spencer

Juan Cole’s book about Muhammad is a work of fantasy. “Cole offers an ambitiously revisionist picture of the father of Islam, replacing the idea of a militant leader with one of a peacemaker who wanted only to preach his monotheism freely and even sought ‘multicultural’ harmony.” Great, except Muhammad wasn’t really a seeker after “multicultural” […]

The Fantasy Islam of the University of Michigan’s Juan Cole (Part 3)

Dec 16, 2018 9:00 am By Stephen M. Kirby

In this final part we will delve into more examples of Cole’s Fantasy Islam, and then end by addressing the issue of stoning adulterers to death and providing proof that can be used to show that such stoning is an established part of Islamic Doctrine. Muhammad spread Islam peacefully with no compulsion On p. 3 […]

The Fantasy Islam of the University of Michigan’s Juan Cole (Part 2)

Dec 15, 2018 9:00 am By Stephen M. Kirby

In Part 1 we saw how Cole had taken a selective approach to Islamic Doctrine and 7th Century Muslim history, had believed that there was human involvement in the writing of the Koran, had a certain amount of disconnect between what he wrote and sources he claimed showed support for that writing, and had exercised […]

The Fantasy Islam of the University of Michigan’s Juan Cole (Part 1)

Dec 14, 2018 9:00 am By Stephen M. Kirby

In October 2018 we saw the release of Juan Cole’s new book: Muhammad, Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires. Cole is the Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan, and he is a “Renowned Middle East Expert.”[1] His new book received rave reviews; here are some that are […]

Juan Cole Invents a Peaceful Quran

Dec 12, 2018 11:00 am By Andrew Harrod

In a November 27 address at Georgetown University’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole discussed his new book, Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires. His sympathetic audience of about forty in ACMCU’s conference room included ACMCU Professor John Voll, Georgetown University imam Yahya Hendi, and […]

Professor claims that “to argue that Islam is an inherently violent religion is both utterly false and ahistorical”

Oct 9, 2018 1:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Establishment academic Juan Cole claims here that “the Islamophobes like to argue that Islam is an inherently violent religion, that its adherents are quite literally commanded to such violence by its holy scriptures, the Qur’an. It’s a position that, as I explain in my new book, Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires, […]

The mullahs’ academic cheerleaders: Meet the profs who love Obama’s Iran deal

Aug 11, 2015 1:28 pm By Robert Spencer

It isn’t surprising that Aslan and Cole would be cheerleading for this disastrous deal, since they are both Board members of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Michigan Professor Juan Cole Thinks the Charleston Race Murders Are My Fault

Jun 27, 2015 10:45 am By Robert Spencer

In PJ Media I take apart the latest farrago from a leader of the academic left. …University of Michigan professor Juan Cole, showing an imaginative reach that would arouse envy in J. K. Rowling, blames Roof’s murders on … Pamela Geller and me. He reveals how uninterested in truth and rational analysis the academic Left […]

Juan Cole blames Charleston race murders on Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller

Jun 24, 2015 7:32 pm By Robert Spencer

University of Michigan professor Juan Cole reveals how uninterested in truth and rational analysis the academic Left and the purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth really are with this vile little blood libel. It was an imaginative attempt to validate the Left’s obsessive insistence that opposition to jihad terror is “racism,” but to say it founders […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: How The Western Intelligentsia Denies Islam’s History of War and Crime

Mar 5, 2015 1:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Over at PJ Media, I explore how voices on both “Left” and “Right” want you to stick your head in the sand and ignore centuries of imperialism and brutality. The Western intelligentsia is very, very anxious to make sure that you have a positive view of Islam. Thus we see a steady stream of articles […]

Juan Cole: The Islamic State is not Islamic

Feb 25, 2015 12:44 pm By Robert Spencer

The Western intelligentsia is very, very anxious that you have a positive view of Islam. Thus we see a steady stream of articles in the mainstream (and in this case, the far-Left, but the distinction between those two is increasingly fine) media assuring you that the Qur’an is benign, the U.S. Constitution is Sharia-compliant, and […]
