Given the insanity spreading in general I am sure that Ingrid Mattson would be willing to speak and welcome at the GOP convention as well.

Mattson was a speaker at a local interfaith breakfast in 2004, partially sponsored by the UJA. I wrote about it and fought it. I think the event may have been canceled, but the stench remained. Joel Mowbray wrote about it at http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0304/mowbray_2004_03_26.php3?printer_friendly.

"The reason Mattson is able to pass herself off as a moderate is probably because she clears the low bar set for most Muslims: the ability to explicitly condemn suicide bombings. But she hasn't done so for very long. In a remarkably revealing essay Mattson penned for Beliefnet.com in October 2001, she wrote that, until then, Palestinian suicide bombings "simply did not cross my mind as a priority among the many issues I felt needed to be addressed." She stated it as matter-of-factly and inconsequentially as someone who apologizes for forgetting to pick up the dry cleaning because it "simply did not cross my mind as a priority." "

Saying there are moderate muslims is tantamount to saying there were moderate Nazis during WWII.

The thought of someone like Martin being taken seriously anywhere is so revolting that I’m having trouble focusing on this post...

But she is a great example of the recipe for success in the academic world, which isn’t intelligence or creativity, but instead “say the exact opposite of whatever common sense dictates.”

Remember kids: those of us who realize our adolescent nearsightedness grow up to be wise, and those of us who don’t grow up to be democrats.

there should be no saints there should be no intervention between you and G-d."

Perhaps she can explain that all Muslim prayers seem to invoke Mohammed at the same time they evoke Allah. And while she's at it, maybe she can explain the outrage over the Mohammed cartoons.
