Authors are afraid to get into Islam
Reader comment on item: The Middle East's Tribal Affliction

All authors are skirting the problem (Islam/allah). If Islam is removed from the daily lives of Arabs these tribes will act like Israelites.

There is no difference in land (association) between Palestine and Haifa but the people in West Bank and Gaza they kill each other while the 12 tribes and several countries populations of Jews live peacefully.

Islam lived last 1400 years like this way and it will take long time to change the old habits. Nothing to do with the tribal mentatlity. Where ever islam spread that way of living imbibed in their life style. Who wouldn't kill one to go to heaven and on top get 72 virgins. Any small excuse is a ticket to heaven and babes. (Nothing to do with tribal multiplication or substraction it is more to do with Allah multiplication and bad allah or infidel subtsration).

Question to Dr. Pipes:

Dr. Pipes, as i notice from your articles the solution to the problem of Islam is moderate Islam or more moderates in Islam. My question to you is this, so far how many moderates you have added to your camp, what organization is starting or encouraging moderates, what organization is starting a moderate Qoran? are you working with moderate imams to start a moderate qoran without the killings of infidels, un-armed individuals and weak women?

All the greats out there are talking about problem in islam but no one is talking about taking action? or what action is going to prevent islam from taking us down under. Hizbollah killed one more good guys in Lebanon. Islamic organizations can and will kill anyone whenever they want to while non islamics are not organized to prevent them from killing our innocent people who oppose them legally. Are we supposed to expect our Govts to act (you know govt. of lebanon is not acting/not capable of stopping, so are lot of moslem govts) or are we supposed to get organiZed and protect ourselves?

Islamics killed butto, it is just a piece of cake for them to annihilate an individual who may be a head of a nation or a party (even Anwar Sadat was killed, if he was alive who knows what would have happened).

Enough said with what ails Islam, it is time to stop what Islam is doing to us. UN has failed in all fronts.
