Nazareth

When talking about Israel, Daniel Pipes quotes a Jerusalem Post article that says that an Islamic party won 75% of the vote in Umm el-Fahm . Fine.

But Mr. Pipes forgets about the result in Nazareth, where the party's affiliated list, the United Nazareth list, was defeated by the secular parties. This is important because Umm el-Fahm is nowhere near the size of Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel.
