Dear Prof Pipes,
I congratulate you for exposing the Centre for the Study of Democracy. Its most appropriate name should have been Terrorism replacing Democracy. Instead of scratching at the surface, Islamism should be put on the dock inviting Islamists and non-Muslim apologists of Islam the following questions:

1. There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet. Where is the space for those who believe in other gods/goddesses, athiests and agnostics?
2.The Islamic classification of humans such as A)Muslims,B(i) Jews,(ii) Christians andC) Infidels/Kafirs need public defence to convince Islam's "univerality" and
3.The world's sovereignty belongs to Allah and Muslims are his chosen people.
If the above points are publicly debated the truth will come out.
Regards, Sincerely, S.C.Panda
Prof Daniel Pipes,Director,MEF
