http://www.danielpipes.org is his home page. I like what he has to say. It's interesting to see what the Islamic orgs had to say about him prior to WTC 911.
Consider the source and look out your window at what was the WTC or the Pentagon.
If you doubt the intolerance of Islam, simply consider two elements of it:
1. Look at how they treat women. A dog has more rights than a woman in their societies.
2. In most countries which are predominately Muslim, there is zero tolerance for any other religion. Conversion from Islam to Christianity, for example, can be a death sentence!
I am not surprised he is disliked by CAIR; it is a plus for him for me.
Funny, I can live with and probably even agree with Pipes' commentary, yet it sure seems to me that the WTC was destroyed by radical American Muslims, hence they can't live with us.
Dear Readers:
An old proverb says that lies have short legs or in Arabic Elkidib Regleeh
Kosiera. Over the past few years an organized and well-financed public
relations campaign has been orchestrated in the United States media. It has
been proclaiming that there is a strong and large Muslim Arabic voting
block in the US. One will have to admit that they did a decent job as their
exaggeration of the numbers of Muslims and Arabs may have even persuaded or
deceived some members of the media and the Congress.
The recent terrorist attack seems to have torpedoed among other things the
US Arab and Muslim groups self proclaimed importance and political clout
based on numbers. For a starter, many of the papers admit now that the
majority of the so-called Arab Americans are actually Christians not
Muslims. Using data published by the Economist magazine of September 22,
2001 page 31, a breakdown by religion of those so called Arab Americans are
42% catholic, 23% orthodox, 12% protestant and 23% Muslim, i.e. 77% are
Christian and only 23% are Muslim. Furthermore a breakdown by origin is as
follows: 56% from Lebanon, 14% from Syria, 11% from Egypt, 9% from
Palestine, 4% from Jordan, 2% from Iraq, and 4% categorized as other.
Furthermore, most of the Muslims in the US are blacks not Arabs.
Most of the Christians who left their homelands in the Middle East have
done so, because of the persecution of the Arabs and Turks for the
Christian minorities for centuries. The Christian minorities cannot by any
extent of the imagination called as Arabs. They are the descendants of the
original population of the Middle East when the Arabs conquered it circa
638 AD, and who survived the centuries of persecution, impoverishment by
the levied taxation, and forced Islamization and Arabization.
It is interesting to note that the public relations and propaganda campaign
in the US has been exaggerating its strength and political clout for so
long using the mostly Christian population which immigrated from the Middle
East, while denying the facts of ongoing discrimination, persecution and
out right violence committed against the very same population in their own
countries in the Middle East. Again regardless of its lack of truth, one
will have to admire the well-organized Arabic and Islamic propaganda
machine in the US for its effectiveness.
Only recently groups of Christians from Middle East origin including the US
Copts started banding together to defend the human rights of the Christian
minorities in the Middle East. I urge all the readers to consider most
carefully the consequences of this situation. We are being used against our
own will and interest by a well-financed Arabic and Islamic public relation
campaign. A strong and clear voice for the Copts in the American media is
needed. You all have a role in educating the media and public at large
about the Copts and their quest for human rights and equality in their own
homeland. I ask you all to support the US Copts and the Coptic Information
Center. Please check the US Copts web page on www.copts.com and contribute
generously. You can also send your contribution by mail to

There is a scripture that says there is a time to reap and and time to sow. In my opinion there is also a time to be kind and generous, and a time to be outraged and hostile. It is ok to be furious about the danger that liberal immigration policies placed us in. So please let them hear it in Washington.
