CENTER FOR ISLAMIC PLURALISM?

I came across the above web site thinking perhaps I can learn something about the plurality of Islam. I was grossly disappointed. The site appears to be another Jewish attempt to hoodwink Muslims.

The site has a valid quotation from Suratul Baqra but what follows immediately begin to make your heart to race. Why should a site claiming to be Islamic recommend blog sites that have run foul with Saudi authorities? Why blog spots anyway? Have they run out of materials to recommend?

What really let the cat out is first the name of the Chief Executive of the site, one Stephen Schwarz, and then the comment he made on an article by two distinguished Harvard professors. The professors had written an article in which they criticized and described Americas foreign policy as Tel Aviv- inspired.

Here is how “Imam” Schwartz started his rebuttal along with a portion of the editorial of one pro-Jewish newspaper:

“The time has long passed when association with Harvard University conferred an imprimatur of presumed seriousness or even common sense on the output of its scholars. Still, it comes as a shock to read a polemic as vulgar as the "working paper" penned earlier this month by the academic dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Stephen M. Walt, and John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, carrying the title "The Israel Lobby and American Foreign Policy." A shorter version of this travesty of scholarship appeared in the London Review of Books. It purports to explain President Bush's foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, as being almost entirely determined by a nefarious "Israel Lobby," which supposedly dragged this country into the Iraq war at the behest of Tel Aviv. The effort has been correctly identified as gross propaganda by the excellent reporters at the New York Sun and the Forward. The latter noted in an editorial:

"The core of the Lobby," [Mear-sheimer and Walt] write, "is comprised of American Jews who make a significant effort in their daily lives to bend U.S. foreign policy so that it advances Israel's interests." To be sure, they hasten to add, "not all Jewish-Americans are part of the Lobby." One 2004 survey found that "roughly 36 percent of Jewish-Americans said they were either 'not very' or 'not at all' emotionally attached to Israel."

"According to Mearsheimer and Walt, the Lobby (they always use a capital L) is so vast it unites not just Jews but "prominent Christian evangelicals like Gary Bauer, Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed, and Pat Robertson, as well as Dick Armey and Tom DeLay," not to mention a group they charmingly dub "neoconservative gentiles," such as "John Bolton, the late Wall Street Journal editor Robert Bartley, former Secretary of Education William Bennett, former U.N. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, and columnist George Will." The Lobby also infected the policies of the Clinton administration and dictates policy not just at magazines like this one, but also at the New York Times and most think tanks in Washington.”

Well in his attempt to discredit the two Harvard Professors, Mr. Schwartz has unmasked himself as a Jew. And there is nothing really new about the revelations in their write-up. The whole world knows that Jews had been running the show in America since the end of World War II. The war in Iraq is being fought by USA on behalf of Jews. Saddam and his arsenal was a threat to Israel and so had to be removed by no other than the errand boys in Washington.

Which brings me to what late Abubakar Imam calls Banza girman mahaukaci, karamin mai wayo ya fishi, in his classic book Magana Jari Ce.
