Islamics claim Islam can only be taught by another Islamic.

That's real interesting. We, as a nation, got to know Islam from an expert and an Islamic .... Osama Bin Laden. He gave us Jihad literally.

I would prefer to learn Islam from a scholar i.e. Dr. Pipes rather than a killer i.e. Bin Laden. At least I'll have my life when class is over.
