I can vouch for Raymond’s assertions. Mr. Cole is an academic lightweight and self-promoting arabist. His lack of serious scholarship in Islamic studies is quite embarassing considering that he claims rank of “herr” professor (see: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jrcole/cv.htm). The reason that he enjoys such relative immunity is that his hatred of Israel is embraced by the cesspool community of anti-Semitism that he swims in.
