Response to Professor Pipes

Submitted by Anon (United States), May 14, 2013 at 01:27

With all due respect Professor Pipes - I think Beslan was not exactly an attack on the West either - unless by Westerners you mean people who are Caucassian (and this would not be a useful distinction).

On the other hand Mumbai saw the targetting of innocent Jews by Pakistani jihadis. I think the West vs non-West distinction does not serve any purpose - evil is evil and this kind of evil needs a global confrontation.
