Counter him in argument instead by attempted character assassination.
BTW, he is so unknown that he is one of the most asked German-tongued contributors and co-editors of the Encyclopedia on Islam in five volumes (the second version published in English and French only) - and undisputed academic standard work. He is also the most asked analysts on the matter in German-languaged Europe. And a political advisor to German parties, mainly the CDU (he himself holds no party membership).
BTW, I once have even read Albert Schweitzer being quoted on a white supremacist website.
Again, counter him in argument instead of character assassination. I hold every bet that he knows his stuff way much better than you and me and we all together. He is certainly against the PC propaganda crowd, but that is not excuse to cheat him. If it is so wrong what he says, it should be easy for you to show him wrong, right?

That's a wrong and unfair diffamation that shows more about your self than about anyone else. In fact he is actively contributing to various media outlets, some of which are mass media, and quoted and linked to from other places as well. He is also sometimes on radio, Deutschlandfunik for the most. Over time you could have read him in the FAZ, Die Welt, Der Spiegel, to mention just the most widespread ones.
Prove his references and his information and his arguments wrong - or step aside.
