Daniel Pipes vs. CAIR

This article by Daniel Pipes draws a line in the sand contra recent public relations efforts by one of America's best-known Islamic organizations:

"In conclusion, 'Not in the Name of Islam' seeks to clean up Islam's image without doing anything of substance. It manages to do two things at once: impress naive Westerners without upsetting anyone in Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the Iraqi Islamist organizations, or other violent groups. In this, the petition initiative fits CAIR's well-established pattern of obfuscation and insincerity."
