Dear Dr Pipes,

Thanks for writing this blog and exposing the hypocrisy of the Islamic political ideology which does not know the concepts of reciprocity and golden rule. Our only hope wrt political Islam (as against spiritual Islam that should mostly be invisible and practiced in the privacy of one's home) is relentless exposition of Islamic lies, non-symmetry, and hypocrisy. Your article is one step in the right direction and we need to take billions of steps.

Yes, cause of freedom is still undone until separation of church and state is established in every nation because even in a nation where 100% of population belongs to one single religion, a Bertrand Russell can be born who wants to be an atheist. If Islam says otherwise then Islam needs to say otherwise-otherwise.
