But Poliakov's views haven't. He has said a lot of postiive things about Muhammad (e.g. that Muhammad was very resepectful towrds the Jews). Infact, I have yet to verify the source in which Poliakov accuses Islam of anti-semitism. In anycase, Bernard Lewis is an exceptional scholar because he is a scholar both on Islam(ic history) and antisemtism. Mark Cohen is also a scholar on Jews under Islam. Most of the rest of the scholars quoted are either scholars on Islam or antisemitism.
