I’ve seen a few lectures with Bill Warner talking about political Islam and they seem to be scientifically grounded. The problem is that Warner is a religious Christian.

Why does this matter? The same reason the impartiality of a witness matters in court: it’s difficult to take seriously the opinion of someone who has a conflict of interest. We don’t know what kinds of biases have been injected into what they are saying, often with a degree of subtlety. If Lean has a conflict of interest in this situation, the credibility of his works is destroyed.
