Fantastic! How essential it is to clearly point out the lack of diversity of ideas inherent in Middle Eastern Studies at the University level. Those of the Left continually engage in Intellectual Authoritarianism and amoral relativism. How ironic it is for them to attack a Website which at its essence, is simply presenting the views of these people to a potentially wider audience!

I didn't think the respect I had for Donahue could lessen; yet it did after catching a glimpse of you and that pathetic Professor. Why would you accept an invitation by someone who's associated with nuts like Chomsky? Hannity and Colmes was a much better venue to discuss this most important website.

What clearcut evidence can you and others present which could convince those concerned with McCarthyism? I see the gist of your argument and those of Horowitz and Kramer etc... to be the expansion of ideas, not the limiting of them. There's another premise to start from when examining the Middle East in the classroom and beyond. That's why I support you and others. I'm a democrat who knows there's a plethora of ideas on both sides which can enhance my understanding. The Left is a cult. Thank you for challenging them.
