PBS/Fox

   Cole was concurrently working for PBS and Fox Broadcasting (Fox News, i think). PBS fired or otherwise discontinued him after his remarks, i think on Fox, about his personal gut discomfort with some characteristically Islamic garb, i think in the context of flying. I'm not sure how much coverage there was beyond Fox and PBS, but it seems likely to be worth mention in the article, even if we don't furnish any detail, if only to clarify that the article's Juan Cole (and e.g. not the other John Cole another colleague asked about on this talk page) is he.

Cole responds to Misplaced Pages content (though indirectly)

In the "autobiography" section of his blog, Cole "vigorously disputes the baseless and misleading editorializing in his current Misplaced Pages article that his views of international politics in the twenty-first century are still shaped by his youthful Baha’i misadventure." I'm afraid this was my doing--I sincerely believed this to be true, even obvious. Instead,

Cole was all along an American liberal, and had thought the Baha’is were on his side, which he discovered to be an error, at least with regard to the secretive and duplicitous leadership. His political and social philosophy is rooted in American traditions going back to the Transcendentalists and going forward to Martin Luther King, Michael Harrington, and other progressives, and all along has been.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, and will try to edit the text in line with the above (unless some more neutral person can be enlisted to do it first). Incidentally, Cole writes that he "now not interested in organized religion as a personal matter." --Dawud

Cole responded to the Walsh/Cockburn Charges at his Blog

I place a link to Professor Cole's response to Mr. Walsh. Since he replied it is fair to make a note of it. --Juliettedorrius —Preceding undated comment added 17:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Censorship

This page needs to balance Cole's claim of being anti-imperialist with his support and love for Muslim colonisation of Europe in the Middle Ages. You can't just have a page of the good things people call themselves, imagine the pages for world leaders.

I was reverted twice by different users for no reason. The other time I was told that I had submitted an "unreliable source". The source was written by Cole. Logically, if that is an unreliable source, delete all 19 references from the article that were sourced from juancole.com

I have also been threatened with a block for "personal attacks" (telling someone to justify their cherry picking so they don't appear to be a hypocrite). Very frail users are getting upset. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr0p th3 pr3ssur3 (talkcontribs) 04:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add your interpretation into the article. You need sources that back up your statement rather than ones that you think illustrate it. noq (talk) 16:01, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
