Congratulations on your appointment
Reader comment on item: On Being Borked
Submitted by Cathy Wilson (Canada), Aug 26, 2003 at 11:36
Dear Mr. Pipes,We were thrilled to learn that President Bush took the honest and bold action to appoint you to the U.S. Institute of Peace. Your experience, ideas and solutions are what the people of the western democratic world need to hear more of to understand the implications of militant Islam and how to mitigate/eliminate them. Apparently, regular killings of Jews and Americans isn't evidence enough for many.
One question though. Why are you often described inthe media as "controversial" whereas CAIR doesn't have any negative qualifiers attached?
Congratulations!
Cathy Wilson
