  Stephen Schwartz (journalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephen Schwartz (born 1948) is an American journalist and author.
Schwartz was thus initially a Communist and supporter of the Soviet Union; later he would call himself a "red diaper baby".
Schwartz also became a vehement critic of Wahhabism in particular and the Saudi regime generally, which he contends dominates American Islam.

 State Department Outrage: The Firing Of Stephen Schwartz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Stephen Schwartz, one of the most prominent commentators on the war against terrorism, and particularly on the role of the Saudis, has been dismissed from his post as an editorial writer, assigned to the new Middle East radio network at The Voice of America.
Schwartz obviously was let go because he refused to toe the line, and had refused previously to join 100 of his VOA colleagues who signed a petition supporting the defense of a radio platform to terrorists and their supporters.
Schwartz, in fact, is a rare man of many colors; at home not only in reporting, but in evaluating major historical and intellectual questions.

 Sharon's Asylum: 02/02/2004
Schwartz, known to co-religionists as Sufi Master Suleyman Ahmad, manages to give the Ayatollah Khomeini an impressive whitewash as a sincere and earnest man of piety – in stark contrast to the playboy princes of Saudi Arabia – who presciently denounced the “Satanic power” of Wahhabism in his will.
According to journalist Lawrence Wright, writing in the January 5, 2004 issue of the New Yorker, today the mutawiyin are popularly thought to be comprised of ex-convicts who memorized the Koran in prison, and are paid a bounty for each unfortunate they arrest.
Schwartz recounts how the so-called “Afghan Arabs”, those dispatched to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, formed a network of trained mujahedeen that were free to fight other causes after the Russian defeat.

 [No title]
As Schwartz describes it, "Shi'as, Sufis, and other Muslims he judged unorthodox were to be exterminated, and all other faiths were to be humiliated." Al-Wahhab soon established a political-religious alliance with a local bandit, Muhammad ibn Sa'ud, and they agreed that any territory they conquered could only be ruled by their descendants.
Schwartz, who has spent several years in the Balkans working with the Muslim community, argues passionately that Islam must not be viewed as a monolith—that people need to understand that much of Islam is based on a rich, pluralistic, multi-ethnic, moderate tradition.
Schwartz is caustic about those who he believes have encouraged our close ties to Saudi Arabia and have discouraged any real examination into Saudi involvement in terrorist attacks in the U.S. and elsewhere—his opprobrium falls on everyone from oil-company executives to journalists to lobbyists to the President and his cabinet.

 AlMaghrib Forums - Who is Stephen Schwartz?
As for the diverse sources that Schwartz has relied upon for his book, then this is a matter to be addressed shortly, but suffice to say the sources he has used are anything but diverse but instead reflect a disturbing reliance on sources associated with a particular ideology.
It is therefore understandable that Schwartz should push the same anti-Islamic doctrine that Kabbani pushed in the nineties; that his book is essentially a summary of articles that Kabbani has himself published or translated; and that Schwartz should be repeating, chapter and verse, the same ludicrous claims made by Hisham Kabbani about mainstream Muslim organisations.
Stephen Schwartz should be commended for having deceived and hoodwinked a popular media anxious for explanations and insight into the events that took place on September 11.

 Jewish News, Jewish Newspapers - Forward.com
Schwartz, the author of “The Two Faces of Islam: The House of Sa’ud From Tradition to Terror,” is set to address next week’s Washington gathering of the Zionist Organization of America, a group that fiercely opposes Israeli concessions to the Palestinians (see accompanying story).
Schwartz, who embraced the mystical Sufi stream of Islam while working as a journalist in war-torn Bosnia during the 1990s, is an outspoken critic of what he describes as the domination of American Muslim institutions by the Saudi-supported Wahhabi stream of Islam.
Ibish told the Forward that, unlike Schwartz’s and Nawash’s groups, the PMU is “an authentic grass-roots effort.” He also criticized Schwartz’s relationship to scholar Daniel Pipes, a hawkish Jewish scholar whom Muslim groups have accused of being anti-Islam.

 The American Muslim (TAM)
Stephen Schwartz (born 1948) is an American author and foreign policy pundit.
Schwartz does not usually use his adopted Arabic name, Suleyman Ahmad Schwartz, because he published widely under his birth name, although he signed the name Suleyman Ahmad Stephen Schwartz to his conversion letter.
Schwartz rejects the term “conversion” because he was not a member of any organized religion before becoming a Sufi.

 THE VOA FOLLIES
Fifteen years later, Schwartz is still defacing public property, demanding that we all pay for his "right" to "free speech" — this time, by giving him free rein to peddle his conspiracy theories that demonize America's Arab allies, via the Voice of America.
Of course, Schwartz has every right to believe that the Saudis are the number one enemy of mankind, and that we need to engage in a new cold war with practically the whole of the Muslim world except the Sufis, and the Bosnian branch of Islam.
It's funny that Radosh touts Schwartz as a crackerjack "reporter" and regales him with "five in-house rewards for his reporting" in the San Francisco Chronicle: the joke is that a good portion of his literary output consisted of obituaries written for that newspaper.

 Random House Academic Resources | The Two Faces of Islam by Stephen Schwartz
In The Two Faces of Islam, Stephen Schwartz, who has devoted years to the study of Islam, explains its complex history and describes the profound philosophical and religious differences that distinguish traditional beliefs from the radical sects that have sprung up over the past fifteen hundred years.
Schwartz not only exposes the collusion of the Saudi Arabian government in the spread of radical Islam (which makes them at best reluctant allies of the West), he shows that the majority of Moslems have little sympathy for the Wahhabis and that many openly denounce their motivations and goals.
Stephen Schwartz’s work is exemplary in illuminating intra-Muslim distinctions, both historic and theological; distinctions which are of the first importance for the rest of the world to understand.

Pipes recommended I read Two Faces of Islam, published last year by the journalist Stephen Schwartz: it is a sustained and detailed attack on Wahhabism, the form of Islam espoused by the Saudi ruling family.
Schwartz, who also runs an activist rightwing thinktank in Washington - The Foundation for the Protection of Democracy - told me that "academics, journalists and the political elite in the US have all accommodated themselves to the Saudis, and have discouraged a closer look at them.

Schwartz (who is not to be confused with Stephen I. Schwartz, the worthy publisher of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, or others of the same name) wrote in the letters column of the April 2 issue of the Nation, replying to critics of a book review he wrote in January.
Schwartz, one of what must be a very small group of writers whose work appears in both the leftish Nation and the conservative National Review, developed his case further in his recent book Intellectuals and Assassins (Anthem Press, London, 2000).
Schwartz's work is erudite, passionate, and quite original, but also openly polemical.

The term is used variously and the existence of the phenomenon is disputed.
Schwartz suggests that Islamophobia, so defined, actually exists, though individuals are often accused of it without justification.
The term most often appears in discourse on the condition of immigrant Muslims living as minorities in the United States, Europe, and Australia, although it has also been used in recent years in countries such as India, and occasionally in connection with non-immigrant Muslim communities or individuals.

As a result, Schwartz predicts an increasing turn for Jewish voters away from their dysfunctional marriage with the Democratic Party and toward the Republicans.
