Ianus, you wrote: "Of course, he hasn't. He has just suggested to this dreadful enemy some potent protective colours instead, some invaluable camouflage. From now on jihad will be fought and won under the banner of moderate Islam! If Dr. Pipes insists on seeing moderate Islam, then he should also postulate moderate jihad, shouldn't he?"

You are absolutely right! Whether Dr. Pipes postulates moderate jihad or not, we are seeing the "moderate" jihad being carried out by"moderate" Muslims in the West. It's for the leaders to understand that this camouflaged "moderate" jihad, self improvement Islamic style" is more lethal and deadly than the jihad a la bin Laden. However PC mired leaders, experts and intellectuals have no guts to call spade a spade and describe the enemy that is fighting against us for what it is instead of inventing euphemisms so as not offend the enemy.

Do you see with leaders like that, we can win the war against this stealth enemy?
