Professor pipes has a higher opinion of those Eastern Mediterraneans than does Amit. He neglected to say which Eastern Mediterraneans he referrs to. Obviously he means the Jewish ones because otherwise, all other States in the region are Muslim being either secular thugocracies or Islamist terristocracies. When Pipes can show another exception besides Israel, I shall doff my hat and cry Chapeau. He can't. Oops, it's the Palestinians, the Jewish Palestinians that is, like my parents who set up a democracy against all odds, where only thugocracies flourish.
