Salah Soltan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salah Eldeen Soltan (also Salah Sultan) is the founder of the American Center for Islamic Research and the Sultan Publishing Company, both in Columbus, OH, and a former professor and president of the Islamic American University in Michigan.[1] He is currently Professor of Islamic Culture at Al Khaleej University in the Kingdom of Bahrain.[2] He has been called "one of America's most noted Muslim scholars," [3]
In May 2006 he gained some notoriety when he was quoted by the Middle East Media Research Institute, an Israeli-based institute, as denying Islamic terrorists were behind the September 11, 2001 attacks. On a May 17, 2006 address on Al-Risala TV he said the 9/11 attack "was of a large scale and was planned within the U.S., in order to enable the U.S. to control and terrorize the entire world, and to get American society to agree to the war declared on terrorism."
