Time and again, the listing below shows, I have returned to decry the pattern of Westerners not facing up the Islamist nature of much Muslim-on-non-Muslim violence. Note the spring 2013 Middle East Quarterly piece, where I attempt to explain this phenomenon.

- "[Beslan Atrocity:] They're Terrorists - Not Activists." New York Sun, September 7, 2004. Catalogues the twenty euphemisms journalists dug up to avoid calling the killers of nearly 400 Russians by their rightful name – terrorists – and then explains this averting of eyes.

- "What Do the Terrorists Want? [A Caliphate and Shari'a]." New York Sun, July 26, 2005. Notes that although Islamist terrorists generally lay claim to their attacks nor state their goals, they have the twin goals of creating a caliphate and applying Shari'a.
- "Seattle Responds to Its Jihadi, Naveed Haq." DanielPipes.org, August 9, 2006. Records with frustration the inability of the people most harmed by Haq truthfully to face his motivations.
- "Explaining the Murder Rampage atop the Empire State Building." DanielPipes.org, February 18, 2007. Ten years later, the Islamist and anti-Zionist motives of a terrorist come out.
- "Still Asleep After Mumbai." The Jerusalem Post, December 10, 2008. Focuses on two aspects of the attack that killed 195 people: Muslim exaltation and Western denial.
