the challenges of doing research is a highly idiot-charged field

so i was DYING to use this book as a solid source for my research project - it had everything i could ever want and more. it's on islamic messianism and mahdist movements in islamic history. i swear it's cool.

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.
