Radical Islam has been defeated.
Reader comment on item: How Terrorism Obstructs Radical Islam
Submitted by Jan Vink (Netherlands), Aug 24, 2005 at 09:02
Dr. Pipes,Radical Islam has failed politically to become a major power among men and brutal violence is a last attempt to achieve domination. I believe that Radical Islam has already been defeated and that today's terrorism is proof of its slow destruction by the West.
We have won.
