Standing firm

Dr. Pipes sat surrounded by what appeared to be a panel but was in fact a lynching party, and stood firm on his account that Barak Obama lied when he said he was never a Muslim. Why would he be afraid to admit that? It's in the past, and beside, it really doesn't matter that he was a Muslim. He says he's a Christian now and I've heard his testimony about his belief; however that doesn't negate the fact that he was a Muslim but won't admit it. People will have opinions either way concerning this controversy. Obama obviously believes that once being a Muslim is a strike against him.

I think congratulations are in order to Daniel Pipes for staying the course with this band of aggressors. It takes a man of steel and resolve to withstand the arrows of attacks of this nature. However, such lively discussions give the audience an interesting show and also something to think about.
