In my experience, Dr. Pipes has never expressed any prejudice toward "Muslims". It seems that any critique of "I'slam" by anyone , especially non Muhammedians, is taken to be a critique of "Muslams". This is an error. Whereas "Islam" is an ideology derived from Muhammed's teachings which ,unfortunately, advocates subjugation by force (the sword), hatred of Abrahamic, indeed any competing belief system to the point of death, and complete male dominance of females, those who have internalized the ideology ie "Muslams", are not all inclined toward violence, even if so instructed by Islamic dogma.
