The only truthful voice
Reader comment on item: [Fixing] Islam's Image Problem

Submitted by Carmen Waggoner, Ph.D. (United States), Aug 1, 2003 at 20:59

Daniel Pipes is the only truthful voice I have been hearing for a very long time. I admire his courage and his relentless energy in stating the obvious. .. Political correctness seems to coincide with covering up the very problems that need to be dealt with. Time has shown that Daniel Pipes was correct in his predictions; it is imperative his voice be heard. We need more scholars and thinkers of his caliber; I hope his voice reaches every politician and his work be studied by all students interested in the Middle East and politics.
