Hope you are correct :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

I hope that your optimistic veiw of Tunisia are more accurate than my own views. Islamic nationalism is a very powerful, established, cultural force. I believe that this is one point that Dr. Pipes is attempting to make.

It may be some time before we really see what impact Islam and Islamic nationaism is having in Tunisia.
