You know a book is pretentious when...
... The character in it reads a whole chapter of another fictional book right inside it. Maybe even two.

Goiung back to a lecture that was put in a blog a while ago: Allah (swt) is with those Who submit, there was one bit that I think warrants further discussion.
A point that the Shaykh made was placed in the summary:
whenever people are defeated or begin to lose..they always blame other people...very unusual of the Ottomans reaction when they began to lose land...the Ottoman's didn't blame anybody..they asked 'what are we doing wrong?'
They weren't blaming others
Can I say that this may have been a bad thing instead of a good thing as it was portrayed in the lecture?

How dare they mock us and our ways! Islamophobia?

Read a recent piece by MPAC which is as always lambasting others for not doing enough.
Thing is that on this occasion - and others too, they are simply wrong.
Geert Wilders was not banned from the UK for hurting Muslim Sentiment. He is not being challenged in the Dutch courts for hurting Muslim sentiment.
I watched the film he made - and by far the biggest thing against it was that it was crap. It did not need refuting.
By kicking up a fuss, MPAC (and others) have played into his hands, giving him a legitimacy when there was none.
Talking of "double standards", I am quite sure MPAC are (rightly) against, for example, Yusuf Al Qaradawi being banned from entering the UK.
