Mr. Pipes ,

"Put differently, as these two cultural giants, Islam and the United States, face off in one young man, which one will prevail?"

--- Dr. Pipes your above statement is interesting in the sense that you are comparing b/w Islam and United States . I believe Islam is a faith and US is a nation so can you kindly state how you can compare Islam and US ?

I believe the answer to your question is in what you have quoted: they are both "cultural giants."
