You...Err, and he has not turned on you it seems...<br /><br />You did not quote the bits in the middle where he said he liked you too. <br /><br />As for the "true mind" of Mehdi Hassan, most of your links, libertyphile, refute the charges of Islamism laid at his doorstep. <br /><br />So this is a bit of a storm in a Teacup, hey...<br /><br />I also think that Mehdi has a point about not just obsessing on Westminster Village, there is a lot more to politics than that.Daniel Taghioffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038412442266639425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1248168844688548142009-11-28T13:06:34.656+00:002009-11-28T13:06:34.656+00:00The true mind of Medhi Hasan is revealed here:

Oh I do not mean you should hate people, or play the man not the ball or stop being transparent yourself. But do not be fooled by these people - its all a front. it has to be because their basic paradigm sucks.<br /><br />The same applies to global warming and 'climategate' illustrates this eminently. These people are merely fooling us for their own benefit and this comment (by 'Scottie') on WUWT.<br /><br />" Having pored over the hacked emails, here’s my impression (as already posted on the Daily Telegraph site):<br />1. A relatively small number of eminent scientists dominate the climate research field.<br />2. This small group has an inordinate influence over the scientific advice submitted to the IPCC, which in turn has a huge influence over government policies around the world.<br />3. This group fiercely protects its data and methodologies. It attempts to avoid submitting them to external scrutiny by evading Freedom of Information requests, and colluding to delete emails.<br />4. There is a strong suggestion that, either consciously or unconsciously, data is massaged to fit the AGW theory, rather than vice versa. They will not admit to gaps in their knowledge or inconsistencies in the data.<br />5. They attempt to ‘rubbish’ dissenting or sceptical views by influencing e.g., journal editors and media journalists. Sceptical views of other scientists are subjected to quite vicious rebuttals and their academic reputations impugned.<br />6. They consolidate their position by ‘peer reviewing’ each others papers.
