6. She makes some good points...
Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 07:45 PM by Hatalles
... but I come to the same conclusion as the Professor in this article. While I do agree with some of her points, her broadbrushing is over the top. Most Islamophobes (and she is one) who claim they *know* Islam oftentimes feel the way they do because of the way they interpret the Quran... which isn't very different from the narrow reading Al Qaeda and the radicals take for that matter.

Sad to say but I don't find it very surprising she has been flooded with interviews and cable news requests... there is no short supply of Muslims around the world critical of the radicals in the Ummah, but the MSM gets to pick its darlings. Apparently there's no such thing as a critical rational forward-thinking 'Muslim'...

Here is the Muslim WakeUp thread (along with the video clip):
