University of Michigan professor Juan Cole has been embarrassing himself for years with his fervent defense of all things Islamic. With his latest book, "Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires", he really makes himself into a laughing stock. Not so funny is how the University of Michigan could employ someone who throws history to the wind like Cole.

There is no point here in trying to repeat Andrew Harrod's refutation of Cole's thesis. Harrod does it quite well. May I perhaps, however, suggest some titles for future works by the Learned Professor of Ann Arbor?
