She catered to their fears, talking as if no Muslim could ever tolerate Jews. Pipes was right to correct her.<br /><br />I wonder whether Tarek really meant to use the word "Islamophobia". It appears only in the headline, which may have been chosen by someone other than the author.Tiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954302536323849326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573533210099052368.post-47004711929696914272010-03-13T01:19:01.511-05:002010-03-13T01:19:01.511-05:00scaramouchém I love that quote: "...an unwitt...scaramouchém I love that quote: "...an unwitting reminder of how Islam divvies up the planet--into the "world" of Islam and the "world" that's up for grabs...."René O'Deayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688437193181269968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573533210099052368.post-25394054341641800312010-03-12T12:24:16.984-05:002010-03-12T12:24:16.984-05:00Well said.
