Jaipur bombings: Juan Cole misses the mark (yet again)
It must be hard to be a career Muslim apologist like Professor Juan Cole; sometimes you have to grasp at some pretty thin straws...
Two days ago, a series of eight bombs in Jaipur, India killed 80 people, and wounded 200. Normally, when you have a terrorist attack in a majority Hindu city (particularly in such an important tourist location), then you assume it was perpetrated by Muslims. And normally, you would be correct.
But not to Prof Cole, who calls this a "puzzle" and, desperately looking for another scapegoat, comes out with one of the lamest conspiracy theories on how the bombings may have really been an inter-Hindu political rivalry - without any evidence for this, of course.
Well, surprise! An Islamic militant group claimed responsibility for the attacks. Mr. Cole is very silent - instead he is too busy doing his 100th partisan plug for Barack Obama instead...

Good post. One wonders how Cole and company can defend such muderous barbarity. Linked.

Juan Cole is not an Muslim apologist, but rather an apologist for Islamic terrorism.
There are certain Muslims that Cole despises like our Iraqi allies for instance.
America has a lot of Muslim allies. Including Kuwait, Iraq, Lebanon, Albania, Kosovo, Afghanistan and many others.
Juan Cole is almost guaranteed to despise any Muslim country or group that is under attack by Islamic terrorism or is allied with the United States.
You can at least be sure that he will propagandize against those entities.
