Equal victims of Islamism

Dear Dr Pipes,

It is not surprising that countries --and people from those countries-- are coming together to exchange their notes about Islamism. There are free countries in the world and their are not-so-free countries. There are rich countries in the world and there are not-so-rich countries. There are colored countries of the world and there are not-so-colored countries. There are religious countries and not-so-religious countries. There are capitalist countries and not-so-capitalist countries. But as long as these countries are non-Islamic, they are equal victims of Islamism and have some notes to share. It is not that the whole world is ganging up against Islamism. It is just that from Moscow to Mumbai and from New York to Shanghai Islamism is not winning many friends due to islamists' selfish misdeeds.
