Mr. Pipes has written eighteen books. His current focus is on Israel Victory and ex-Muslims. He tweets at @DanielPipes.
His website, DanielPipes.org, with an archive of his writings and media appearances, has recorded 88 million page visits since its inception in 2000. Over 17,500 translations of his writings have been published in 39 languages.
Both presidents Bush appointed Mr. Pipes to U.S. federal government positions. Al-Qaeda invited him to convert to Islam, Senator Edward M. Kennedy borked him, and Edward Said called him his most horrible name – an "Orientalist."
