Profiling Muslims

Dr. Pipes,

I am doing research for my own book, dealing with liberal activism. In the course of my research, I found that during the Clinton years, Robert Rubin, now on Team Kerry, absolutely refused to shut down Islamic charities, which it knew were funneling funds to Hamas, on the grounds that "it would look like we are profiling Muslim charities".
