I agree with everything Dr. Pipes says in this article, but he either forgot or omitted one important thing. While true the conflict in Israel, Chechnia, Kaskmir, and against the U.S. all all different parts of the same conflict only Russia which has a community of interest with the U.S., Israel and India, has seen fit to ignore the community of interest and aide the Islamists in the other conflicts. Perhaps Dr. Pipes could explain the reasons for this perplexing conduct.

Putin did understand this fact a few years ago and now has changed, for reasons I am unable to explain.
