"In case you don't read far-Right blogs, The Canberra Times and I issued an apology to Mr Daniel Pipes. Yes, I have joined the ever-growing group of illustrous [sic] and sensible people to have been threatened by Mr. Pipes with some kind of action. I now hope he will answer my prayers and declare me an "Islamist" in the same manner as he has declared such learned gentlemen as Hamza Yusuf Hanson and Professor Khaled Abou el-Fadl. The original article remains on this blog, albeit in edited format. The lesson I have learned from this incident is that the best way to expose Mr Pipes is to quote exactly what he says. His own words provide his numerous critics with sufficient ammunition." -- Irfan Yusuf

Yes, indeed. Quote Dr. Pipes exactly .... [I do, all the time]

Irfan Yusuf, in his own words: "I was born some time back. I'm currently alive. No doubt one day I will pass away or pass out, whichever comes first. Until then, I do lawyering and freelance writing. I don't play rugby, but I am open to learning the haka." -- Irfan Yusuf

Yes indeed. Learn the haka ...it will be better for your open mind than learning from Islamists.
