some sortcomings in analysis

I am bound to point out some sortcomings in analysis of Dr Daniel Pipes.

Analysis of Dr Pipes again proves his optimism towards surge of moderate Islam. He is very much accurate that some individuals from Islam are coming out against Islamism and recent name in this episode is Salahuddin Shoaib choudhary from Bangladesh and who has got so much support from an American Dr Richard Benkin. This time I am fully agree with Dr Pipes on this issue, but he has left some corners of this issue untouched.

Islamism has an inspiration of ideology behind this menace and this menace has become a global phenomenon. Theory of atrocity on Muslims has converted Islamism as movement and south Asia is most vulnerable to this theory and become new battle field for Islamism after middle east. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even more than 15 percent Muslim population of India has attracted to this movement very fast in last few years and this population initself count more than 57 percent of this continet.

Since maoists took over Nepal and nexalite movement in India has become new face of communism nexus of red and green is very much imminent in south Asia. Islamism and Maoism has shook their hands to oppose imprelistic forces (read it America), so called state terroism against maoism and Islamism and Hindus. This new phenomenon in South Asia is going to affect America as well.

So I request Dr Daniel Pipes to come out of west centric thought and identify new enemies of America who are growing very far from American soil. American victory against Islamism has very much attached with victory of India against Islamism and Maoism or communism, if India would not be able to overcome its enemies which has surrounded it from Afghanistan ,Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to within its territories also America has echo in its land also. So analysts like Dr Pipes should consider India in general, and Hindus in particular, as their partner in war against Islamism.
