Bad News for Islamists: Bush Makes
Recess Appointment of Daniel Pipes to USIP

By Andrew L. Jaffee, August 22, 2003

The White House announced today that:

The President has signed the recess appointment of Daniel Pipes of Pennsylvania to be a Member of the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace. The President nominated Mr. Pipes on April 2, 2003.

By signing appointments during a congressional recess, an American president can avoid the Senate's confirmation process.

Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), and their Islamist friends, CAIR - The Council on American Islamic Relations and the AMC - American Muslim Council, will be very unhappy.

President Bush's nomination of Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) enraged many Islamists and their left-wing allies. They claim Pipes is a "bigot". Why?

Pipes is one of America’s foremost authorities on the Middle East. He tried to warn the civilized world about the threat posed by Muslim extremism long before 9/11. He's a good man who's just concerned about preserving values like freedom, democracy, and free enterprise. Does this make him a bigot? I think not.

I congratulate Dr. Pipes on his appointment. He will make a difference. He already is making a difference.

I congratulate President Bush for having the guts to stand up to the Islamists and the misguided legions of the politically correct. Score one for the free world!

Thank You, Lord!

"I think Daniel Pipes' appointment is good news for Islamics. They have told us they are a religion of peace and Daniel Pipes supports peace, so there's common ground right there."

True enough :+) ... Heh Heh Heh...

Who gives a damn about the utterly insignificant "Institute for Peace"??? How about a recess appointment--OR FIFTY--of some of Bush's judicial appointments which are being illegals blocked by the Democrats in the Senate? It has been a freaking year already! When are the President or Bill Frist planning to show some backbone on THAT?

That's a big TEN-FOUR!

Congratulations to President Bush. Now if he would just use that recess appointment pen to take care of a few judges who have been held in limbo for years....

There are plenty of decent Muslims, as Pipes himself points out. Pipes has been supported by Muslims. The enemy is the Islamists (Osama, al-Qaeda, Jemah Islamiya, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc.). Pipes himself says, "And, by the way, the first victims of militant Islam, or Islamism, are Muslims themselves. We can join together, Muslim and non-Muslim, to fight this totalitarian ideology."

There are indeed plenty of decent Muslims, but they are decent despite their religion, not because of it.
