The naive notions of non-muslims about Islamists

Dear Mr. Pipes;

I read your article many times and I am saddened by the fact that you take people like Musharraf by their spoken words. The tryst under which he decided to help USA under duress is explained by the speech he gave to his people on TV after 9-11. I am sure you must be familiar with the life and activites ... of Prophet Mohammed. Please read his speech with that in the back of your mind. Then you will find out why Muslims have created trouble everywhere on a continuous and periodic basis, not-withstanding their pronouncements of peace etc in the interim. I do understand the need to atta-boy these people from time to time but let us stay within bounds of "trust but verify".

Here is the speech:-
