Nadine, this passage in Daniel Pipes' most recent essay stumps me: >>All three alleged terrorists succeeded in talking the academic talk, fooling nearly everyone. Shallah wrote in 1993, in his capacity as director of WISE, that the organization's long-term goal is "to contribute to the understanding of the revivalist Islamist trends, misleadingly labeled 'fundamentalist' in Western and American academic circles." Almost any North American academic specialist on Islam could have written those same sneering and duplicitous words. Many do.<< danielpipes.org I don't know enough about Islam to understand whether, or why, "fundamentalist" vs. "revivalist" matters. Nor do I know enough about Pipes to understand why he seems to be arguing that one cannot be, at one and the same time, a genuine scholar and a supporter of terrorism. Do you?
