Reader comment on item: A Conspiracy Theory Spreads Polio
Submitted by Alex (United States), May 30, 2005 at 20:20
It is my belief that Islamist propaganda is actually just a projection of its adherents' self-perception onto their perceived enemies. Hence, we must not take lightly the possibility that Islamists propagate conspiracy theories such as this one because it represents exactly what they would do if given the chance.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
