Reza Aslan
Reader comment on item: Islamism's Likely Doom
in response to reader comment: Reza Aslan is he a liar?
Submitted by Mark D (United States), Jan 22, 2014 at 01:57
I have no difficulty if a Muslim writes a book about the historical Jesus.
Well, I have a problem with it, but I am not sure. I wouldn't be interested in a book written by a Phd in religion and at the same time a believer of Muhammad. I think there is an inherent conflict of interest so the deck is stacked against quality and objectivity. I would be interested in a book about Jesus written by someone with a Phd in religion and an atheist.
