Nicholas Kristof: an authority on Islamic theology
" Nasr Hamid Abu Zyad, one of the Islamic world’s greatest theologians..." Mr. Kristof: have mercy on us. You of all people would not know who are the greatest theologians of Islam. It is not your field and you dont have the knowledge and language skills to make such determination. This is like me deciding who the great Buddhist theologians are.
Hazem Saghiyyah is a class act
My mother would not let me engage with people who use obscene or dirty language in polemics. So obviously, I would not respond in kind. Here, Hazem Saghiyyah (a columnist in the media of Saudi princes and Hariri family), calls me a cheap "sandal" and "shit" and "idiot". All because I merely linked to an article of his on Now Hariri about how the Syrian opposition needs to abandon the Golan and make peace with Israel in order to obtain Western military intervention. Here is the article, and blow is Hazem's obscene diatribe. (thanks Adam, who alerted me and who kept an image of the communication before it gets erased. House of Saud's propagandists are known for sneaky deletion). But Adam is right: I sure know how to piss off my enemies.
