I wonder if Daniel Pipes' labeling of the question/statement from Ashiqi as "brilliant" comes from the fact that Islam labels Jesus as a "prophet" - so what would be wrong with Christianity doing likewise for "Mohammad"?

The problem is that one includes adherence to one's religion, the other does not.

Anwar Ashiqi's "question" IS wicked, but brilliant in it's deceptiveness.
