Passing Daniel Pipes' test should be mandatory to be called a decent modern person

Dear Dr Pipes,

You are kinder than you need to be. I read your test to determine whether someone is a moderate Muslim or not. I also read many letters from people who with an in-your-face attitude proudly declared that they failed the test.

I will go one step further than you. Your test is not only absolutely just, passing it must be mandatory. Allah or no Allah, Islam or no Islam, to earn my respect you must pass the Daniel Pipes test. I cannot respect hypocrisy.
