			In 2002, the Wall Street Journal interviewed a number of scientists who had partaken in Zindani's project, which "drew the scientists to its conferences with first-class plane tickets for them and their wives, rooms at the best hotels, $1,000 honoraria, and banquets with Muslim leaders". The interviewees described their comments at these conferences as sounding "silly and embarassing" (Joe Leigh Simpson), or that they "fell into a trap" (William Hay), or that Zindani used "overstatement" in recalling their discussions (Allision "Pete" Palmer), or that there had been "mutual manipulation" (Gerald Goeringer).<ref name="StrBedfel" />

	Complaints about the methods of "Bucailleists" include the use of endorsements by Western non-Muslim scientists. One of the Bucailleists most widely circulated works is the book "[[A Brief Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam]]," which quotes several non-Muslim scientists in praise of the predictive power, divinity, etc. of the Qur'an. However, in a 2002 story<ref name="StrBedfel" /> in the American newspaper 'Wall Street Journal', several non-Muslim scientists spoke of questionable practices used by Bucailleists to cultivate scientists and coax statements from them, including lavish entertaining, untrue promises to be “completely neutral,” and hard sell interviews by Sheikh Abdul Majeed Zindani.
