I believe that there are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan; more Muslims in Russia than Indonesia.

What Mr. Pipes does not understand like many American is that there is no militant Islam, but rather, there is a Militant Middle East. The reason is the dispute between Israel and the PLO.

I would request that Mr. Pipes consider that the war is not between Islam and USA, it is between the Middle East and USA.
