I don't believe any brainwashing can be accomplished with the production of readily available suicide bombers when there is an injection of skepticism. It is the certainty of a God and a heaven that is at fault in this 'holy war' that has made it possible to have people kill at the behest of power hungry leaders such as those who are trying to control the flow of oil.

I prefer to call it a war on wahhabism since OBL declared war on us and attacked us. I don’t believe it is a war of revivalism.

I hope that you do continue to explore anti-Muslim sentiment but also that you spend more time fact-checking in the future. Charles,

Great interview, I think you should know however that many of the quotations in the Harper’s compilation where taken completely out of context: http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2008/02/clueless-would.html.

I hope that you do continue to explore anti-Muslim sentiment but also that you spend more time fact-checking in the future.
