I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Pipes re: Islam in America - I just watched a video entitled "Jihad in America" and it was a chilling confirmation of everything Mr. Pipes said. I also grew up in a Muslim Country (not in the Middle East), where I have seen the slow but steady Islamisation of what was once a democracy.

What I don't understand is why these terrorist groups are not ousted and deported back to the terrorist swamps from whence they came.

The murderer of the founder of the Kach movement in the United States was arrested, brought to trial and then, quite mysteriously, set free! Amongst material seized from the murderer's apartment were plans (written in Arabic) as to how to bomb American sky-scrapers. In "Jihad in America," I saw video of young lads of 10-14 being trained at "Islamic youth camps" to hate Jews and Americans, and this was all happening right there in the United States! Hamas and Islamic Jihad supporters (with faces covered, reminiscent of the Klu Klux Klan), doing a wild dance of sorts, armed with weapons decrying the Jews and Americans. There were so many incitements to Jihad, Jihad and more Jihad in conferences, and mosques, all in the United States, not the West Bank (which I refer to as Judea and Samaria)!

So, there must be a conspiracy ( of silence, if nothing else) of sorts. Why are these people allowed in, such that they have set up a network of terrorism in the US already? Who is letting them through, if not higher ups somewhere along the line! I still can't believe how the murderer of Kahane got away with it, despite all the evidence, and then of course there's the recent LAX attack!

There IS a conspiracy going on, and I'd be surprised if the Government of the United States (State Department, FBI, CIA etc) were not a part and parcel of it.

Now, that's where I disagree with Mr. Pipes.........
