A good start

Dear Dr. Pipes,
Counting Mosques is a good start. Mosques do function as substitutes for tea-houses and town squres for some in the Muslim community here in the US, to gather, relax, exchange ideas, make new friends and plan future actions. As a Muslim I know this; as an American I fear this.

Now the FBI, our protector, has timidly set out to do some good. May God protect us from our protectors! Dr. Pipes: you and a few other folks are doing what needs to be done: Shining a light on the problem that is militant Islam. Keep it up.
Regards
