anti-islamist muslim ?
Reader comment on item: Faisal Shahzad, Jihadi, Explains Terrorism
Submitted by Doug Corrigan (United States), Jun 27, 2010 at 08:14
Dr. Pipes
Please explain the thinking of the "anti-islamist Muslim" , as you say; considering that islamism and terror are the true heart of islam, as far as I can determine, how can any Muslim 'not' support islamism ? By the way, I caught you on BBC radio the other day. Good as usual. Thanks for all you do.

Daniel Pipes replies:
I do not agree that "Islamism and terror are the true heart of Islam." That's simplistic and inaccurate. There are alternate forms of Islam that emphasize different aspects of the religion.
