“Useful idiots”, or bought consciences? Some time ago, I was asked to declare myself an Islamist, in exchange of US$50 thousand, later on upped to US$100 thousand. I am a well known scholar in my country, and my support to Islam would be most valuable to them. But then I was clearly informed that once I declared myself an Islamist, and be paid for it, should I ever retract myself I would be killed, and the chosen assassin would be the very “friend” who was offering me that bribe. These are indeed nice people. You can trust them to do exactly what they promisse to do. I refused the bribe, but obviously many other scholars apparently have accepted it.
