... Islam :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Amin Riaz (United Kingdom), Dec 9, 2011 at 08:19

For years USA used to decry the elections held in Kashmir (India) as unfair, forced and rigged. But the year India and USA were in an economic and military alliance .... that year the elections in Kashmir were declared as Free & Fair.

It all depends on the colour of the spectacles you are wearing......

Second, instantly cease all economic aid to Cairo. It is unacceptable that Western taxpayers pay, even indirectly, for Islamizing Egypt. Resume funding only when the government allows secular Muslims, liberals, and Copts, among others, freely to express and organize themselves.

Dr Pipes has never demanded Israel to be "secular" ...
