Debate Mearsheimer and Walt

Mr. Pipes:

It is UNFAIR to ask Keith Ellison to debate with you. He is just a politician.

An appropriate debate can take place between you and John Mearsheimer & Steve Walt

That would me more even handed.
Did you ever try to ask these two professors for a debate?

Daniel Pipes replies:

No, I never tried. Nor do I plan to.

1 - Their topic is US-Israel relations, not Islam.

2 - After they mangled what I say and do, then pretended they did not, I cannot take them intellectually seriously. For details, see http://www.danielpipes.org/3581/is-campus-watch-part-of-a-conspiracy-on-mearsheimer-walt.

3 - As I explain at "Learning from the Mearsheimer-Walt Fiasco," I have no wish to lavish attention on their silly conspiracy theory.
