Changed my view of CAIR

Submitted by Muhammad Siddiqui (United States), Apr 22, 2002

Dear Mr. Pipes,

I am not delighted to know about the militant strains of CAIR as mentioned in your article.

I thought this is an organisation which is helping to lift the image of Muslims and Islam in the U.S.

Though I do not always agree with your ideas especially when it comes to Israel but on militant Islam I find myself no way but to agree. Problem is that Islamic movements very sincerely believe in bringing about the Islamic revolution though peacefully albeit. It is the foundation of their belief structure or their understanding of Quran and Sunna. How this has to be changed is the challange.

Thank you. I keep reading you.

Muhammad Siddiqui
