Reader comment on item: When Conservatives Argue about Islam
Submitted by Monte Gardner (United States), Jul 6, 2007 at 14:48
I think the point of this article was summed up well in the debate in london (with Mayor Livingston?) in which Dr. Pipes stated, as I recall:
"He looks to multiculturalism, and I, to winning the war. He wants us all to get along, I want to defeat a terrible enemy".
