The Real Threat

Professional crazy person Daniel Pipes explains that the real threat’s not from terrorists, it’s from peaceful Muslim moderates:

“It is hard to see how violence, how terrorism will lead to the implementation of sharia,” Mr. Pipes said. “It is much easier to see how, working through the system — the school system, the media, the religious organizations, the government, businesses and the like — you can promote radical Islam.”

You see, first Harvard starts trying to accommodate Muslim students who want a gender-segregated exercise space. From there, it’s just a hop skip and a jump to taking over the school system and — bam — dhimmitude! All while Chamberlain-esque liberals were distracted by the mirage of violent radicals who kill people and wasted our time trying to build bridges with other Muslims to isolate and eliminate the hardest-core jihadis. Silly us.
