[edit] Criticism

Juan Cole, a professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Michigan, criticized the Middle East Quarterly after it included an article critical of his work [11]. He wrote in Salon.com: "It publishes scurrilous attacks on people. There's no scholarship. It's a put-up job ..." ^[2] Cole made his statement while editor of the International Journal of Middle East Studies.
