When an “Academic” Islam Apologist’s Flimsy Diatribe (in the guise of a “book review”) claimed he could “list errors of fact [that] would probably fill this entire number of the [MESA] Bulletin,” yet only found one minor dating error

The “horror”! The Zanj slave rebellion actually took place in the latter third of the 9th century not the first third. While that “offense” is minor, the reviewer’s mercifully short but non-stop fact devoid opinion piece in the guise of a book review was infinitely more “polemical” than the work he labeled (or more aptly libeled) as “polemical”. Res ipsa loquitur: Robinson-MiddleEastStudies-1997
