Criticism of the journal and contexts of its publication
While serving as the editor of The International Journal of Middle East Studies, published by the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA), its 2004 president Juan Cole, a professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Michigan, criticized the Middle East Quarterly after the MEQ published an article by Alexander H. Joffe entitled "Juan Cole and the Decline of Middle Eastern Studies."
His criticism is cited by Michelle Goldberg, in her article published in Salon.com entitled "Mau-mauing the Middle East." Initially, Goldberg observes that the MEQ's editor Daniel Pipes "has a Ph.D. from Harvard and is the author of 11 books, including the recent 'Militant Islam Reaches America'. Yet the professors he attacks say he's an outsider in the field." As an example, Goldberg cites Cole, whom she describes as "a Campus Watch target" and who she quotes as claiming: "'The Middle East Forum is not really a forum. Somebody rich in the community has set up with a couple of offices and a fax machine and calls him a director.... They put out this Middle East Quarterly. It publishes scurrilous attacks on people. There's no scholarship. It's a put-up job. As for Pipes himself, let's just say that he's not a full professor at a major university.' Indeed, aside from Pipes," Goldberg continues, "the Middle East Forum has a single researcher, whose job, according to the Web site, extends into fundraising."
