Don't ask me. Ask him. That's word for word, exactly, as Robert Spencer said. And he knows way more about Islam than the arrogant Medved, who knows a lot about . . . Medved. Medved wouldn't have a clue whether there was a multi-regional group in the crusades. He got that from Robert Spencer who knows a little something about that time. Medved lifted his work. Sorry, but you need to face facts about him. He lift's other people's words. BTW, while you're asking him why he lifted Robert Spencer's words, ask him about his close connections with the sleazy lobbyist Jack Abramoff who dragged Tom Delay down. Finally, where are his movie reviews carried? So he's a "movie reviewer"--BFD. He's also a Robert-Spencer's-ideas-and-words stealer.
And NO, I don't think Medved LIFTED material from anyone. Even I could tell you that a "Christian, Jewish, Muslim Fellowship" in Jerusalem during the crusades is absolute nonsense.
