in response to reader comment: A gap in Daniel Pipes distinction between moderate Islam and Islamists

Ian, you know "moderate" Muslims are silent Islamists, and that is why you never ever hear from them any criticism of fellow Muslims. Moderate Muslims do not exist. Period. There is only one Islam and it is all radical. The sooner we admit to this fact and change our tactics accordiingly to fight Islamic terror, the better it will for all us and our future generations.
