Don't know how you can tell me I was "wrong" for including Emerson when by your own admission, only skimmed a fairly long factually dense interview in which he details what he learned about American Islamists. His experience--which is richly supported by facts--suggests that Kepel could have reached the same conclusions if he had bothered to delve into them as deeply as Emerson did.

That was my impression, that is in the material I skimmed, that Emerson was focusing on US Islamists and the possibility for terror therefrom. That's what I've seen him focus on in the tv interviews I've seen.

I'm still surprised, but getting less so, about your negative stuff about Kepel, when you haven't read him. While he and Emerson would appear to be talking about the same thing, it still looks to me that their frames are sufficiently different that I don't see them in argument with one another.

As for the comment that Kepel doesn't do his homework, read the book, c. Stop the hasty judgment bit.
