anywho, after coming across a questionable statement, i decided to pull up some info on one mr. timothy furnish online.
i found his website. www.mahdiwatch.org
to my horror, this scholar that specializes in Islam and the Middle East has chosen to adorn the very top of his own webpage with a photo taken from the sword/gun fight in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
i'm just so angry. there goes that source.

Ms. Suzanne,
Pray tell, why does a tongue-in-cheek picture of the Cairo Swordsman from "Raiders" render all my original-language (Arabic) research into Mahdism--including a doctoral dissertation and one book to date, as well as numerous articles, AND a trip to Iran--null-and-void?
To paraphrase Dr. Henry Jones: "try reading websites instead of burning them."
Otherwise, you're unfortunately reinforcing that stereotype of the humorless Leftist.
And I'd be happy to answer any of your questions on Mahdism.
