Question

Do you "Daniel Pipes" with all your insight and expertise into islam, meet with the President from time to time, and if you do, does he understand that there is no such thing as moderate islam. Does he still consider islam a religion of peace.

I just rc'd a email from a friend in the States and this was some of the content. You might want to ask this Dr. if what he said was really meant.

This past Fri eve Phyllis and I attended services at Temple Bethel in
Palm Beach. We went there specifically to listen to a lecture by Dr.
Kahleel Mohammed. Dr. M is a professor of Islamic Studies at Univ. of
San Diego. He rcvd his Ph.D. at the Univ. of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and
is an Imam schooled in the Wahabi-Sunni tradition of Islam. The title of
the lecture was "Can Militant Islam Co-exist with the State Of Israel?"
What we heard was blood chilling, but not at all surprising to me.

His opening statement was, "the people of the U.S. worry about Osama .
He is nothing but a tiny offshoot of the problem. The main problem is
(and I quote) " EVERY SINGLE MOSQUE IN THE USA ESPOUSES FROM THE PULPIT
THAT EVERY SINGLE JEW (not just Israel) IN THE WORLD MUST BE
ANNIHILATED. No ifs ands or buts!! And these mosques don't even consider
themselves militant.


Interesting eh!
