While I do not wish this to be misconstrued as an endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for President of the United States, I do believe that it is very important for people to know when someone like Dr. Daniel Pipes is advising a candidate. Daniel Pipes is one of the few experts around that truly understands the threat of Islam, so having him act as adviser could never be a bad thing for any future U.S. President. Now, if someone would just have the good sense to take on Robert Spencer as an adviser, then I would most likely endorse them.
From the ever-vigilant Daniel Pipes, a thread worth bookmarking (thanks to Sheila for pointing it out), that deals with the rise of accepted polygamy in the West, and the grave implications this all has for the future of our nations and our national identities. In fact, this is such a serious issue that this post marks the creation of a new category on the Anvil dedicated to Polygamy as just one more link in the chain of Islamist incursions into our societies:
Daniel Pipes had this to say this morning about the recent and rare turnout of hundreds of thousands of “moderate” Muslims in Pakistan and Turkey seeking to keep some semblance of secularism intact in their nations’ governments (hat-tip: Sheila).
Is it not telling that great numbers of moderate Muslims see danger where so many non-Muslims are blind? Do developments in Pakistan and Turkey not confirm my oft-repeated point that radical Islam is the problem and moderate Islam the solution? And do they not suggest that ignorant non-Muslim busybodies should get out of the way of those moderate Muslims determined to relegate Islamism to its rightful place in the dustbin of history?
What follows is a portion of a very important transcript. If you want to get up-to-speed on the real scoop on the current “life and death struggle” that I and many like myself believe we are now in, then read on. From FrontPage Magazine, with thanks to Jihad Watch:
This panel discussion took place as part of “Restoration Weekend,” on February 24, 2006, at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix — The Editors.
Remember the Communist scare in the United States? The jokes that still abound — “There’s a Commie behind every tree!” Well, unfortunately, the realistic viewpoint that Islam harbors thousands of enemies in the United States is substantiated by the truth behind “mainstream” Muslims like Abdurahman Alamoudi.
From FrontPage magazine comes the following excellent article by Daniel Pipes:
In 2002, the spokesman for FBI director Robert Mueller memorably described the American Muslim Council (AMC) as the “the most mainstream Muslim group in the United States.” A year later, the Catholic bishops called the AMC “the premier, mainstream Muslim group in Washington.”
