I was just exchanging emails with an Americal Muslim woman about what her students think is authentic information about Islam (must come from "real" Muslims, i.e. non-American) and what my students consider authentic information about Jews and Christians (must come from at least a Muslim-sympathetic source, if not outright Muslim). So who knows what anyone thinks of anyone.
