<p>I received my copy of Schacht & Bosworth eds. (Oxford University Press, 1974), <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Legacy of Islam</span>.</p>
<p>Consider this: it is an updated copy of a 1931 collection of essays of the same title. Only this one has, up-front, an article by Maxime Rodinson on "The Western Image and Western Studies of Islam", in which she concludes that the Left have been systematically whitewashing islam. Who was Maxime Rodinson? A French, Marxist, historian, expelled from the Communist Party, and credited with creating the phrase "islamic fascism", and a jew opposed to the existence of Israel. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxime_Rodinson" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxime_Rodinson</a> If ever there was an independent, informed voice on the Left about islam, it should have been him who was considered for that title.</p>
<p>Thus, my contention that the re-writing of what islam was occurred by the 1970s, is substantiated. In the 1960s/1970s, I remember jokes on TV about the paranoid delusion of British women that there had been/was a muslim trade in white women as slaves. In the early 1970s, Herge produced a comic about the rise of Mohammed, with the front cover displaying the leader of "the religion of peace" writing out of the desert, with his army, swords drawn. I'm not a great believer in the power/project of Cultural Marxism/the Frankfurt School, but there is very good evidence that we have been subjected to 50 years of Leftist propaganda and lies about the nature of islam.</p>
<p>That this book by eminent islamic scholars should have been re-issued 40 years after the 1st edition, with the principal addition being an attempt to expose the fraud by the Leftist academics, is very significant.</p> In the early 20th century, "i…tag:4freedoms.com,2014-02-27:3766518:Comment:1454472014-02-27T16:05:19.973ZJoehttp://4freedoms.com/profile/38DD
<p>In the early 20th century, "islamophobia" meant "the justified fear that moderate muslims and muslim women had towards islam".</p>

<p>The fascist Left, in using the word "islamophobia" the way that islamo-fascists want to use it, just shows that these two fascist movements are joined at the hip.</p>
