Westerners Are Divided?
Reader comment on item: Rampaging Islamists
Submitted by Gary Sack (United States), Sep 19, 2012 at 14:59
Mr. Pipes, your last sentence is frightening. Division is surely a recipe for our destruction at the hands of the Islamists. How do you define "westerners"?

Daniel Pipes replies:
In brief, I believe that Islamists would make scant headway if they were not enabled by the left. Helping the left to realize its mistake is one of my highest priorities though, clearly, given my own low standing on the left, I have to do this indirectly.
