America’s Expert Islamophobes EXPOSED

The Muslim Public Affair Council (MPAC) of America have released a very interesting study named “Not Qualified: Exposing the Deception behind America's Top 25 Pseudo Experts on Islam,” that examines the credentials of 25 known Islamophobes who claim to be experts on Islam, Muslims and national security.

Talking about these ‘experts’, the group highlights,

Quote: ‘They have led our country to engage in counterproductive counterterrorism. Rather than focusing on Al Qaeda and violent extremism, they scapegoat Muslims and portray Islam as inherently violent and intolerant.’

The study finds:

• Only 1 out of the 25 individuals examined have qualifications that would make him/her an expert on Islam.
• Most of these individuals do not even have a college degree in Islamic studies.
• Relying on individuals who lack academic qualifications about the subjects, one which they claim to be an expert has severe negative consequences for our national security.

Those exposed of lacking credentials, include Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Nonie Darwish, Frank Gaffney, David Horowitz and Walid Shoebat.
