Reader comment on item: Jihad: The Fight Over Meaning
Submitted by D Allen (United States), Jun 6, 2002 at 14:14
What if the speaker were Christian? What if the word he used were "crusade" instead of "jihad"? Hard to even contemplate, isn't it? I think that is probably the best example of the extreme hypocrisy of both Islamists and the liberal left.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
