More From Daniel Pipes

I won't be a party to a conspiracy to mobilize the arabs against the persians. only the forces of colonialism benefit from such a conspiracy. i won't be a party to a conspiracy that splits islam into two - shiite islam and sunni islam - mobilizing sunni islam against shiite islam.
Party Two Islam
If i could save the union without freeing any slave, i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves, i would do it; and if i could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, i would do that. i have here stated my purpose according to my official duty, and i intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.
Country War Islamic
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
It's perfectly ok that there are certain people who do not accept islam at all. therefore, to announce that i am a muslim can rub some people the wrong way. but my aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of islam have been misusing islam. they violate these rights and then seek refuge behind the argument that islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy. but this is basically to save face. in fact, i'm promoting democracy. and i'm saying that islam is not an excuse for thwarting democracy.
People Islam Democracy
I don't find any difference between islam and islamic fundamentalists. i believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. if we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. i need to say that because some liberals always defend islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. but islam itself oppresses women. islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights.

Please don't fall into the trap of believing that i am terribly dogmatical about the go to statement. i have the uncomfortable feeling that others are making a religion out of it, as if the conceptual problems of programming could be solved by a single trick, by a simple form of coding discipline!

One thing i noticed after being down in mississippi for the shoot was that words like "god" and "jesus" are used all the time, but they're not specifically referring to jesus. it's sort of this accepted phraseology for love, or spirituality, or whatever it is you personally believe in.

The challenge of the believer is to take the faith that you got in here and take it to the place out there.

We believe america is practicing all kinds of terrorism against libya. even the accusation that we are involved in terrorism is in itself an act of terrorism.
