Islam itself
Reader comment on item: Debate: Islam and Democracy
Submitted by Regan Huffman (United States), Jul 18, 2003 at 13:14
As usual I agree w/Dr. Pipes. I still insist that it is militant Islam itself that is the problem... Our freeing up the Iraqi people is a magnificent first step.My best to you, Dr. Pipes.
