In wake of Mumbai attacks, it's only legitimate to question people who stood with L-e-T and FETNA in past. Email in yahoogroup..
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>It might be worthwhile to recall the hate-filled role that some
Indologists have played vis a vis terrorism in India. Lars Martin
Fosse, a Norwegian Indologist, and a moderator of the IER list, has
gone on record a few years ago saying that the activities Laskhar e
Toiba (which has been implicated in the current Islamic massacre of
Indians and foreign tourists in Mumbai) has been incited by Hindu
fanatics in India! Sort of a justification for Islamic terror! May
be he is privy to some secret information about LeT that we ordinary
mortals do not have access to.
Michael Witzel and Stephen Alan Farmer (aka Steve Farmer), who are
philogists and comparative historians respectively, and both also
moderators of the IER list, collaborated closely with Fetna in
200502006 to oppose Hindu edits in the CA textbook controversy.
FETNA has been accused of terrorism in Sri Lanka and by extension,
in India, since FETNA is claimed to be a front for LTTE.
Therefore, let us be always beware of academics with these dangerous
terrorism sympathies or associations and keep an eye on them. Their
scholarship is not objective as they might claim, and their
associations makes one wonder if it is not motivated by deep hatred
for their 'objects of study'.

And weasel denies links with shady groups:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Steve and I are said to have "collaborated with Fetna" (the
association of Tamils in America). We did not do so.
However, two of Fetna's (former) members have been accused of
organizing a weapons shipment to the Tamil rebels (LTTE) in Sri Lanka
(I do not know what has become of that allegation and have no time
to check it out).
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, no time to check out who's involved in terrorist activity and who's not.
Great going Witzel and sidekick Farmer, pretty convenient eh?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Of course, all of these bandhus now make us terrorists:
"collaborated with (a member of)Â Fetna = LTTE = Terrorists..."
Multiple bandhus, the validity of which is zero.
Guilt by (imagined) association.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well well, how you and your 48 bunnies linking NRIs to those fetus disembowelers in Gujarat you like Weasel? What's good for goose is not good for <i>gandu</i>er?
