Another deranged academic. Let her travel to an ISIS area and see what happens.
She just wants to be toasted at the next Friday faculty wine and cheese seminar.

Writings on Islamophobia, Political Islam, and Empire[edit]
In August 2012 Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire (ISBN 9781608462117, Haymarket Press) Kumar makes the case that the Bush administration’s “war on terror” ushered in an era of anti-Muslim racism, or Islamophobia, after the events of 9/11. She argues that that tragedy did not create the image of the “Muslim enemy,” and instead examines the 900-year historic relationship between anti-Muslim racism and the agenda of empire building. Beginning in the eleventh century and the context of the Crusades, Deepa Kumar offers a sweeping historical analysis of the changing views of Islam and Muslims in the West, examining the ways that ruling elites throughout history have used the specter of a “Muslim enemy” to justify their imperial projects.
Danish cartoons[edit]
Following the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy which attempted to depict the Islamic Prophet Muhammed in a caricatural light, Kumar wrote an article against the publication of the cartoons titled ‘Danish Cartoons: Racism Has No Place on the Left’, where she argues that the left’s criticism of Muslim outrage is actually a form of anti-Muslim racism. Her article was read by tens of thousands and posted on websites around the world. It also attracted criticism, and in response Kumar wrote another article in the Monthly Review, titled “Fighting Islamophobia: A Response to Critics”.
