Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Did Professor M.A.R. Barker write an anti-Semitic book under a pen name?

The greatest attack on Jews ever didn't come from Muslims but hey, go off.

Unsurprisingly, the Qur'an, like the Bible, is pretty inconsistent. Both books were compiled by many different people. Sure, there are many warlike passages, but there are also passages that expressly permit Muslims to associate with, and even marry, Jews and Christians.

None of which is meant to minimize the current global problem of Islamic extremism. But Muslim doesn't always equal anti-Semite.

The Quran has the law of abrogation, the Bible has nothing like it. Because of that the Quran isn't inconsistent and the more warlike Medina-surah trump the more peaceful Mecca-surah.

"the Bible has nothing like it"

OK KEK

Not all Muslims.

Exactly. Not all Muslims are anti-semites.

  I saw clips from the show on youtube.  I thought he looked and acted as I would expect bizarro to act.  His timing was pretty good as to arrival.  A bit early, but all good.

The more I think about this, the more I realize I don't care that he wrote a book I wouldn't like, or that he had politics (that he seemed to mostly not be vocal about) that I'm not a fan of.

The works he's famous for are great, and that's enough.  I bet all those ex-Nazis who got us to the moon wrote some stuff I wouldn't agree with politically either, but they were still great men that did great things.  I don't have to agree with their politics to recognize that, or appreciate their work, or them.
