Dear Mr. Pipes,
Your erudition where the above name article is concerned, is even more brilliant than I have ever read.
Just as one example out of several, consider that you wrote "The Swiss scholar is Tariq Ramadan. He is Islamist royalty – his maternal grandfather, Hasan al-Banna, founded the Muslim Brotherhood, probably the single most powerful Islamist institution of the twentieth century, in Egypt in 1928. Tariq is a Swiss citizen because his father, Sa‘id Ramadan, also a leading Islamist, fled from Egypt in 1954 following a crackdown on the brotherhood. Sa‘id reached Geneva in 1958, where Tariq was born in 1962."
These latter prases show an incredible insight into Egyptian, and by implication, Arab politics.
Thanks again, and please Mr. Pipes, keep these brilliant articles coming to all of your subscribers, i.e. if they will allow me to speak for them.
