ON BEING BORKED (Daniel Pipes)
New York Post ^ | August 26, 2003 | DANIEL PIPES

IN the months since President Bush nominated me to the board of the United States Instititute of Peace, confirmation etiquette has obliged me not to talk about my nomination. I thus found myself having to remain mute as opponents said what they would about me. For five months, I quietly endured Sen. Edward Kennedy borking me as someone not "committed to bridging differences and bringing peace" and a Washington Post editorial criticizing me as "a destroyer" of cultural bridges, among other slings.

And Teddy understands bridges soooo well.

Daniel Pipes will do a world of good if he can help to undo the myopic politically correct views which coddle Islamists and assault Israel that's so much in vogue in our own State Department.

Sounds like he's the man to help elevate discourse.
I just wish there were people on the other side of the aisle capable of thought.

Thanks for the link to the Taliban News. If this site is based in the USA, why is it allowed? Thought this item within the article was interesting --

You can also email journalists such as Wolf Blitzer and request that he cover this issue of Daniel Pipes. He is a good journalist who is not afraid to oppose President Bush and his politics.
You can find his webpage at the following location: http://www.cnn.com/wolf

I'd say that's a resounding endorsement of the opinion that CNN is no friend of America.

Pipes is a prophet.

Don't look for this piece to run in liberal media sources.

Mr. Pipes, at FR we've come to know you well. Thank you for your resolved determination to help guide us. May your United States Instititute of Peace work live up to your previous contributions, may you and your family stay safe, and may you live to look back on history knowing that western civilization overcame the threat of militant Islam with the least amount of suffering required (on both sides) to move the human race forward into the next era.

Ah yes, is there really a future with us and muslims together? Can we expect to be of service and to be serviced with muslims in the midEast? Apostasy bringing death penalty and womanhood's service not recognized... do we really have the time and money and hope to discuss our issues with muslims with a psychiatric counselor?

Sheesh, people live in a dream world. PCness and so called "tolerance" etc has become the new Nazism demanding to tolerate Nazies too.

Wow! that's quite a website, isn't it? I suspect it is ALSO a website closely monitored by...whoever.

re post no 8. Yes, there is a lot of this "peaceful" stuff on the internet:


'

On The Net...TALIBAN Online - Forum Index (Includes Jihad, Al Qaeda, etc.)

On The Net...AS-SABEEL.com - AS-SABEEL AGENCY - "INTERVIEWS" (PAGE SNIPPET: "In this section, read some interviews with Mujaahideen such as the martyred commander Ibn Al-Khattaab, Usamah Bin Laden, Mullah 'Umar and many more. We will Insha Allah also be adding our own exclusive interviews with brothers who have trained/fought fee sabeelillah from various countries.")
On The Net...JIHAD ONLINE.net NEWS

On The Net...AS-SAHWAH.com (ISLAMICAWAKENING.com): "JIHAAD" (The Discussion Board)


and more here...


On The Net...www.obm.clara.net/i/preview.jpg: ISLAMIC CONFERENCE - SEPT 11TH 2003 - www.almuhjiroun.com: "THE MAGNIFICENT 19"

YAHOO! Groups - almuhajiroun: Press Release: "THE UNITED NATIONS - A LEGITIMATE TARGET?" (PRESS RELEASE SNIPPET: "One of the many benefits of 9/11 was that it clearly delineated the two camps of Islam and Kufr (non-Islam), the camp of Haq (truth) and that of Batil (falsehood), the camp of sovereignty and supremacy for God as opposed to sovereignty and supremacy for man made law. Verily Muslims have no choice but to reject all alliances apart from those with Muslims. This means rejecting the UN and any organisation or body propagating man made law. As Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an: 'O believers do not take the Jews and Christians as friends and protectors. They are just supporters of and love each other alone. And whoever does turn to them is one of them. Verily Allah does not guide the oppressors' [EMQ 5:51] And 'The believers are a single brotherhood' [EMQ 49:10] Let it be known therefore that all regimes, governments and bodies (implementing man made law) in the world today are rejected by Muslims and that the only legitimate authority, recognised in Islam on the state level, is that of the Islamic State i.e. Al-Khilafah, which must be established by Muslims and which will carry the message of Islam to the world - striving for Izhar ud-Deen i.e. the total domination of the world by Islam, through its divine foreign policy of Jihad.
