Criticism

The journal has been criticized by Juan Cole, a target of the Middle East Forum's Campus Watch campaign and professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Michigan, who claimed in Salon.com: "It publishes scurrilous attacks on people. There's no scholarship. It's a put-up job ..." Goldberg, Michelle. Mau-mauing the Middle East Salon.com, September 30, 2002
