<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Just so you all know, Stephen Oppenheimer is the foremost opposer of the concept of invasion of a certain group of people (no I won't say the word). I don't think we should get so giddy about an obviously biased source.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's illogical (i.e. stupid). Biased towards what? If he quoted from a Hindu nationalist source, then I would accept bias. Oppenheimer is a British scientist who through his research believes what he does, there is no place for bias towards either side in that. He is not the "foremost opposer", that's an exaggeration. I don't think you even knew him before I pointed his work out to you during the summer. He is just a scientist doing his job.
