About the Author

Mr. Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. Mr. Pipes founded the Middle East Forum (MEForum.org), an independent 501(c)3 organization, in 1994. The Forum's mission is "promoting American interests" through publications, research, media outreach, and public education. With a US$2 million budget, it publishes the Middle East Quarterly and sponsors Campus Watch, Islamist Watch, the Legal Project, and the Washington Project.
Aah, yes, CBN, The Most Trusted Name in Religiously Biased Rightwing News. Mr. Pipes sounds like the typical rightwing thinktank gasbag you’d normally see on Fock Snooze. Another highly-paid shill with an agenda to grind: these Armageddonists believe God wants a war between Islam and Christianity, and they’re not above provocative statments to make it happen.
This has as much relevance and truth as another statement I remember from CBN years ago, “Jesus wants us to have new cameras at our Oklahoma City affiliate.”
“Is Islam at war with US? Does Obama hate America? Are Democrats Socialists? Do unions hate Capitalism? Is crossing the aisle an act of treason?”
These aren’t real questions about real issues, they are manufactured statements to elicit fear in the minds of those predisposed to fear. Lame that you would add this to your site mix, Neil.
