Daniel, who will ultimately win?
Reader comment on item: My Gloom: Back to September 10
Submitted by Jeff Hodge (United States), Dec 20, 2005 at 13:38
Daniel, I heard you once say that the West (the U.S.) would eventually defeat worldwide Jihad/Islamism. In light of your pessimistic article, do you still believe that, or do you believe as I do, that we will lose? Thanks.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.

Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
