Dear Dr. Pipes,

I wish to thank you for this set of blogs you mailed out; they provide some knowledge that I do not have and help me to fill in my lack of education in the history of the Middle East. I also appreciate the logo of the Muslim Brotherhood; it might be helpfull to identy it as I teach at the University of North Florida.

Approximately 3 or 4 weeks ago, I saw a sign advertising meetings concerning GAZA. I was unable to obtain an explanation; however, I believe it was a series of anti-Israel meetings. The hand drawn sign has long disappeared, but it would not surprise me to discover more activity to recruit American student into Islam. I have seen some young non-Muslim women wearing the traditional head covering. Fortunately for me, I have not had this experience in my class (The History of Psychology).

I am very concerned about the anti Jewish statements in Europe and in other parts of the world, including the US. I am disppointed with CNN, which is openly pro Obama. Fortunately, Bill Moyer's is honest, and allows his guests to respond openly. I highly recommend you read the transcript of his interview of William K. Black, former Director of the Institute For Fraud Prevention, who now teaches Economics and Law at the Univerisyt of Missouri, where I once taught, in Kansas City. "Now Black is focused on an even greater scandal, and he spares no one - not even the President he worked hard to elect, Barack Obama....." .

I did not vote for Obama, as you already know. Now I loathe the fact that this president is silent instead of divulging fraud regarding IGA, fraud that was not divulged to the public, as he continues to protect and maintain Geithner in his present position; as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Geithner did not regulate the largest bank holding companies in America, which is the job he was supposed to do. Obama not only hired Geithner, he also protects him and perpetuates the very deceit he pretends to loathe in the Bush administration. Please, read the trancript of Bill Moyer's show. I fear Obama is an Arab at heart.
