A person who wishes to remain anonymous sent me this: "Dear Prof. AbuKhalil, just thought you might like this: The American
Enterprise Institute's Middle East "expert" Michael Rubin quotes "a Syrian
Muslim Brotherhood activist" in a blog post, also published in Commentary
Magazine:
Click through to his source, and you'll find that that the man who Rubin believes is a "Syrian Muslim Brotherhood activist" is in fact sheikh Mohammed Said Ramadan al-Bouti, possibly the best known pro-Assad cleric in all of Damascus. Now, that's solid scholarship, isn't it? (If you want to quote this on your blog, feel free -- but please leave my name and nationality out.)"
