From Gather:
In a reference given by "Media Matters," a professor of Anthropology at the University
of California, Irvine, Karen Leonard, author of the book, "Muslims in the United States:
The State of Research," calls the Kabbani claim "Nonsense." She adds "I know of no
extremist mosque in southern California". She may not, but like all the other researchers
of mosques, unless she went to over a hundred mosques, went there as a Muslim who
mosque leaders were friendly with, she would not be likely to get a true picture of
those mosques, and what jihadist preaching and literature would be there when the
leaders felt they were talking only to Muslims.
