>> Afrasiabi's article is just more of the same pap, but better written. I found the historical issues raised by Feldman interesting and valuable. Afrasiabi accurately pointed out factual errors and misleading statements by Feldman. That Feldman resorted to outright lies and intentional misleading, diminishes the value Feldman's opinion. >> Afrasiabi doesn't even begin to deal with...the doctrinal sea change in Islam from prohibiting suicide to approving so-called "martyrdom" Perhaps because he is a political scientist and not a theologian or Islamic historian. Incidentally, your assertion that "a significant portion of Muslims, perhaps even a strong majority" of Muslims could approve of first use by Iran or other Muslim countries is patently false. Even Feldman did not go that far. You see what you want to see.
