Islamists' Profiling of Critics Cataloged
Islamist Apologists Accuse of Profiling While Doing it Themselves!
This TCS article is very interesting for several reasons. Firstly, it has a specific catalog of incidents over a period of years, where Islamist apologists have engaged in forms of criticism that can only be described as "profiling", by attempting to paint any critics of Islamist terrs as being either agents, pawns, or dupes of some sort of Zionist-Jewish anti-Arab cabal.
This has happened to the writer of the piece himself - Stephen Schwartz - who is a Sufi - a convert to Sunni Islam! If you want some specific cases of the use of these sorts of distortions (at best) and outright attempts at character assassination (a good Arabic based word there!) if not the other kind (yet) this article is a good place to start.
