One Must Review the Facts Before Labeling a Terrorist
Reader comment on item: [Maher Hawash:] The Terrorist Next Door

Submitted by Bob Obenshain (United States), Aug 13, 2003 at 08:08

Mr. Pipes, you are the most credible scholar when discussing this subject. I have read most of your research on this subject. Unfortunately, the left has been successful in scaring the politically correct in the federal government to go soft on potential terrorists. Radical Islam (Wahabism) is the enemy. The federal and local law enforcement must proactive, not reactive.
