I would have thought his views on “homegrown extremism” would have been all about Timothy McVeigh and the Aryan Brotherhood.
I guess that OKC / Aryan Nations stuff too old, and he needs some newer and catchier headlines. That’s where I come in, I guess.
Plus, he’s probably pissed off that nobody gives a damn about his lame nonfiction book “Jihad Joe.” After a year, it’s at about 350,000 on Amazon, so it’s selling maybe a handful of books a week, if that. IOW, diddly squat, despite the glowing reviews it received from the LSM, such as this by the NYT:
(Here is the last par)
At a time when some politicians and pundits blur the line between Islam and terrorism, Berger, who knows this subject far better than the demagogues, sharply cautions against vilifying Muslim Americans. “Extreme and indiscriminate anti-Muslim rhetoric helps to validate the worldview of our enemies — the premise that America’s wars are indeed wars against Islam,” Berger writes. “You cannot tell someone, ‘You are my enemy,’ and then blame them for believing you.”
It is a timely warning from an expert who has not lost his perspective.
Scott Shane is a national security reporter in the Washington bureau of The Times.
(Good grief, I’ve never gotten a single LSM review, and I’m outselling him by miles. Imagine if the NYT reviewed my trilogy, even in the negative! It would sell a million copies with that kind of fawning coverage from the NYT and WaPo etc. And Jihad Joe is still on the way-back list at Amazon. I suppose Berger thinks my name and titles will help to launch is book about how the FBI is infiltrating all of those “white racist militias.”)
