Why do you consider yourself to have enough expertise to pass judgment on such matters?

In the past I did had a bit of contact with Berlin politics surrounding how our city deals with Islam. I think there's a case where I influenced the words used to talk about an issue in our newspapers.

Over the years I also read various different sources. Among them Sayyib Qutb's Milestones gave me a good perspective.

There are area's where I have more expertise than talking about Islam but I have decent priors that I know something about the issue.
