The Washington Post quoted Pipes as saying: ``For reasons of its own, CAIR has been trying for years to place me in the category of those who consider Islam the enemy, which is not where I belong. My position is that militant Islam is the problem, and moderate Islam is the solution.''

Pipes has it right.

Can't wait to see Norquist's reaction.

That traitor needs to be stopped from ever having the ear of the President again as do Cair and the AMC which are terrorist front groups that Norguist promotes all the time.

He sure does most of the time.......
............


In a commentary in the New York Post on March 25, Pipes wrote that a grenade attack on U.S. troops at a camp in Kuwait that killed two soldiers and for which an American Muslim has been charged, ``fits into a sustained pattern of political violence by American Muslims.''

``There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism, as do Muslim chaplains in prisons and the armed forces. Muslim visitors and immigrants must undergo additional background checks,'' he added.

A slight rephrase: Good news, President Bush is still doing the right thing.

"Why the heck do these Muslim "groups" who are delusional in their own sense of self-importance think we should care what they think? These people have no place in the decision making process of this country."

Just imagine the Aryan groups or the KKK wanting to make decisions in America and we just let them do it all under the cover of PC. CAIR is nothing more than a race-baiting terrorist front and have been given a semi-legitimate platform by the press/government. WHY?

"Waiting for Norquist". How will the Wahabbist traitor attempt to pull strings on this one? Or is he finally out of Bush's circle of influence. Hope springs eternal.

Pipes is a good choice. But I think he still has too many illusions. A moderate Muslim is really one that doesn't know much about his religion. All it takes is a little deeper push to flip them off.

Qu'ran (Shakir translation)
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair [Ezra] is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
[9.31] They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him).
[9.32] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.
