I double posted this. My bad.
Its me again, the one who gave the link to the CIC site.
Another way to look at it is that he was trying to use "international law" to legitimize his position.
That may be so, but my point is:
everyone in the media jumped on him for the sake of damage control. People left and right were accusing him of targetting Jews (whereas he was only talking about Israeli nationals becuase of their specific situation), people were calling him racist (even though his message was only logical, most reserved, and his history is examplary in speaking up against racism, violence, etc.)
If you look at his record, you would see that he has an extremely high standing in both his field and in representing moderate Muslims. And so, I don't believe that after 30 years of doing good work we can sacrifice him like this. Its a big loss to the academic and moderate religious community.[ Parent ]
