When all is said and done, Islamists will support Islamists irrespective of the truth or merits

Dear Dr Pipes, I am a close observer of Islamic politics around the world and particularly in the US, India, and Israel. I have studied the range of Islamists from routine suave apologists like Linda Sarsour and Fareed Zakaria to extremists like those whom we find in groups like ISIS and the Talebans. When all is said and done, it can be safely assumed that Islamists will support all Muslim causes against non-Muslims irrespective of the truth or merit. I am not surprised if ISIS is/was supported by the Turkish islamists.

Islamic world needs accelerated training in open-mindedness, ethics and democracy.
