  A Rebuttal of John Hooper and Brian Whitaker
If only John Hooper and Brian Whitaker had researched the origins of al-Qaeda's ideology, which was clearly formed upon the writings of Sayyid Qutb, who was Egyptian and not Saudi, their readers would have benefited many times over.
Had they researched this subject carefully, they would have known that what is taught on an official basis at the University of Medina is an in-depth analysis of the falsity of the Khawarij's system of belief.
It would have been more accurate for Hooper and Whitaker to say that all of the Islamic groups and movements of today, the violent and the non-violent of them, stem from the ideologies of Hasan al-Banna, Abu A'laa Maududi and Sayyid Qutb.

 Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day: Reading between the lines at the fair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Brian Whitaker: "Arab books became a political issue earlier this year when the Bush administration launched its 'greater Middle East initiative' and blamed low output of books for a 'knowledge deficit' in the Arab countries.
Brian Whitaker: "The working paper did not see fit to mention that this figure, which has been much quoted subsequently, is 13 years out of date and almost certainly wrong.
Brian Whitaker: Though the stultifying effect is undeniable, adversity does sometimes give writers the fire they need to produce great work, and censorship can even boost sales.

 Yale vs. U.S. Military, Round 2
Whitaker’s ability to visit Yale Law School despite its nondiscrimination policy is attributable solely to the Bush administration’s enforcement of the 1995 Solomon Amendment requiring federally funded universities to open their doors to military recruiters.
The law schools have not confined their resistance to the Solomon Amendment to the kind of inhospitable conduct extended to Brian Whitaker.
While decent military officers like Brian Whitaker suffer the rudeness of their purported betters at Yale Law School in silence, the armed services of the United States are actively defending the school from mortal peril.

 Kesher Talk
What Whitaker doesn't tell us is that Memri's founder, Colonel Yigal Carmon, and most of his young staff, are on the left wing of the Israeli political spectrum.
Whitaker scoffs at the fact that the names of Memri's staff and office address were removed from their website due to concern of attack by Arab extremists.
Most surprising of all is that while Whitaker spends 1,700 words attacking Memri as a "mysterious organization" and its "air of secrecy," he has forgotten to tell Guardian readers of his own secrets.

 AtlanticBlog: More dubious behavior from the Guardian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
There was a touching meditation in The Guardian the other day by Brian Whitaker, the paper's Middle East editor, on the subject of racism and stereotypes, racist Arab stereotypes in particular.
According to Whitaker, "the hardship and inconvenience faced by Israelis" in the past three years "is, of course, pretty minor in comparison with what the Palestinians have to endure."
The charge of racism is particularly rich coming from Whitaker, who in other contexts complains that Jews are too quick to tag critics of Israel as anti-Semites.

Whitaker vs. Kilroy-Silk: "There was a touching meditation in The Guardian the other day by Brian Whitaker, the paper's Middle East editor, on the subject of racism and stereotypes, racist Arab stereotypes in particular.
According to Whitaker, Israeli setters are best described as "thieves and brigands," who "live on stolen land and have been known to shoot Palestinian neighbors for quietly going about their own business picking olives." As for Palestinian attacks on settlers, these can be excused because settlements are "quasi-military targets."...

Although critics are more concerned with the selectivity of MEMRI’s translations rather than their accuracy, instances of MEMRI’s political bias affecting the accuracy of its translations have on occasion been cited.
The Guardian’s Brian Whitaker took MEMRI’s president to task for mistranslating a question that included an implied criticism of Israel.
The question was "How do you deal with the Jews who are besieging al-Aqsa and are scattered around it?" But MEMRI translated this as: "How do you feel about the Jews?" (13)
