WITH THE RISE OF “stealth jihad,” “creeping Sharia,” “Islamofascism,” and “terror babies” in places like “The United States of Islamica,” “Eurabia,” and “Londonistan,” who wouldn’t be scared?

Fear sells and the Islamophobia Industry — a right-wing cadre of intellectual hucksters, bloggers, politicians, pundits, and religious leaders — knows that all too well. For years they have labored behind the scenes to convince their compatriots that Muslims are the enemy, exhuming the ghosts of 9/11 and dangling them before the eyes of horrified populations for great fortune and fame.

Their plan has worked.

The tide of Islamophobia that is sweeping through Europe and the United States is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It is their design.

In recent years, Muslim-led terrorist attacks have declined yet anti-Muslim prejudice has soared to new peaks. The fear that the Islamophobia Industry has manufactured is so fierce in its grip on some populations that it drives them to do the unthinkable.

This powerful and provocative book explores the dark world of monster making, examining in detail an interconnected, and highly organized cottage industry of fear merchants. Uncovering their scare tactics, revealing their motives, and exposing the interests that drive them, Nathan Lean casts a bright and damning light on this dangerous and influential network.

It does not speak well of Al Jazeera as an organization that they allow him to use them as a platform. This is true regardless of the quality of their journalism. It's would also be really odd to find a televangilist on a news station. It would be perhaps the same if he were consigned to the Arabic version of the 700 club, but he's being broadcast front and center. And I don't think this guys level of extremity can really even be compared to Pat Robertson. For instance, he disputes the claim that he supports terrorism by arguing that Palestinian suicide bombings are "defensive", says a husband should only beat his wife "...lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and other sensitive areas.", and his position on female genital mutilation is that it's "not required".

They may keep their opinion and journalism more separate than, for instance, Fox News. But perhaps that's only what we see looking through the lens of Al Jazeera English. In fact, it would sort of make sense that Al Jazeera English would be unbiased if Al Jazeera Arabic were - they'd have conflicting duties both to the ideological stand of their parent network and to attract a viewing public in the west, so the only option would be to be objective. Fox News, for one, is actually planning to launch an Arabic branch, and I seriously doubt they're going to maintain the same tone there, nor are they likely to broadcast Islamist propaganda.

Religious and sectarian views

[edit] Muslim sects

Al-Qaradawi has written about the danger of extremist groups of Islam, especially when done through blind obedience. He released a dissertation on the subject. He listed indications of extremism:
1.The 1st indication of extremism include bigotry and intolerance, which make a person adamantly devoted to his own opinions and prejudices, as well as rigidity, which deprives him of clarity of vision regarding the interests of other human beings, or the purposes of Shariah, or the circumstances of age. Such a person does not allow any opportunity for dialogue with others so that he may compare his opinion with theirs, and chooses to follow what appears to him most sound.
2.The 2nd indication of extremism manifests in a continuous commitment to excessiveness, and in attempts to force others to do likewise, despite the fact that Allah has not commanded it, and the existence of good reasons to make things easy. A person motivated by piety and caution may however, if he so wishes, choose a hard-line opinion in some matters and on certain occasions. But this should not become so habitual that he rejects advice when he needs it.
3.The 3rd indication of extremism is the out-of-time and out-of-place religious excessiveness and overburdening of others, i.e. when applying Islamic principles to people in non-Muslim countries or to people who have only recently converted to Islam, as well as to newly committed Muslims. With all these, emphasis should not be put on either minor or controversial issues, but on fundamentals. Endeavours should be made to correct their concepts and understanding of Islam before anything else.
4.The 4th indication of extremism manifests itself in harshness in the treatment of people, roughness in the manner of approach, and crudeness in calling people to Islam, all which are contrary to the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Desh, you are cherry picking. The only thing that makes this guy look moderate is Al-Quaeda.

Western civilization has never stopped being butthurt about the fact that Islamic civilization totally outclassed it in the middle ages. You can here this when a member of one of those far-right parties in Europe says something along the lines of "The Ottomans were at Vienna, VIENNA, I SAY, and now this FLOOD of Muslim immigrants (the turned a lilly white country 2% brown over the course of a few decades), are going to succeed where they failed!"

Never does it seem to occur to them to ask at what city the Christians stopped. It'd be kind of difficult to answer that actually, because they pretty much didn't:
