Ignorance
Reader comment on item: Letters to the editor: Jihad and the Professors

Submitted by Daeng Tinro (Indonesia), Dec 3, 2003 at 02:43

Dear Sir,
I'm a Indonesian-born Christian lives in Indonesia, and I do agree with your positions and statements that reducing Jihad as merely an inner struggle is an ignorance. For those muslims who live in comfort of "western" democracy and its liberal and free speech culture, I just want to say that they are much much luckier than those christians who live in Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and middle east countries.

Dr Pipes, you have my support. God bless you.
