Alejandro Beutel, formerly of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, discusses MPAC’s exposé on “America’s Top 25 Pseudo-Experts on Islam;” Daniel Pipes’s 2004 op-ed in which he justifies the WWII internment of Japanese Americans and calls for similar measures against Muslims; the “national security hucksters” who train law enforcement groups on the supposed dangers of Islam; successful anti-Islam propaganda from Danish cartoons to Innocence of Muslims; and how US Middle East hegemony, combined with perceived attacks against Islamic culture, provokes protests that Western media uses to frame all Muslims as anti-American crazies.
