the protest indicates the public wants another strategy towards the islamists

Reader comment on item: Reflections on an Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan

The protest indicates the public wants another strategy towards the islamists. That is first to resist and oppose all of islam in order to make the muslim communities "spit out" the "smelly" islamists under such pressure. Then, in a second step, maybe moderate figures would rise. Dr Pipes' strategy, as I understand it is to accept the muslim communities as they are, and with the support of the moderates isolate and fight the islamists. Would Dr Pipes consider the other strategy as well ?
