Interview with Robert Spencer, author of The Church and the Pope — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.115.91.205 ( talk) 06:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
A citation template for the article "American Islamophobia’s Fake Facts" by Arnold R. Isaacs was removed here, giving as a reason that the containing publication was The Unz Review. As the article was being cited three times, there are now cite errors in the Wikipedia article.
An alternative source for the article is Salon. Salon has been discussed a number of times on the Reliable Source Noticeboard, but not, as far as I've been able to determine, with any formal conclusion being reached.

original editor should add inline citations. --

Why is Robert Spencer being called anti Muslim for just stating the truth about Islam? Truth is subverted when the goal becomes 'protecting the reputation of a subject' rather than going threadbare into it. Please remove the 'anti Muslim' tag. It's just feeding into the fundamentalist frenzy 106.201.184.215 ( talk) 07:21, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
