Indeed, Islamic fundamentalists, terrorists, and anti-Western zealots almost never come from among the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden; they come from among the most educated, prosperous and Westernized Arab/Muslim elements in their society. Moreover, Pipes reveals that while they cling to displaying their pious beards and traditional turbans, these extremists have the most modern and cutting-edge organization and technology.

Just like Communism. The leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution were almost all from middle class backgrounds.

Of course, naturally, it's just one easy step for teens, who want to be loved rather than to be ignored, to go from the debaucherous MTV generation to Islam.

Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Pipes makes the crucial distinction between militant Islam the ideology and Islam the faith.

Sorry, guy... I'm just too much of a dumb redneck to see the difference.

Pipes' website is www.danielpipes.org -- he has an e-mail list that anyone can subscribe to if interested.
