Reader comment on item: A Second Islamist Organization Apologizes to Me

It must be a wonderful feeling to be awarded an apology for libelous comments, and publicly so, by any organization, but particularly a Muslim one. It's a pity, though, that this apology had to be squeezed out by the threat of a lawsuit. Under such duress, an acknowledgment of deviating from the truth must have caused not a little embarrassment to the Muslim Weekly and all other similar publications.

This episode should be an important lesson for anyone who dares to do harm to the reputation of Daniel Pipes and all like him, who are in the very important business of warning the world of the threat of radical Islam and all its dire implications.
