Daniel Pipes |
|
|
- Pipes' approach to Middle East policy has been criticized as neo-conservative, orientalist, right-wing Zionist, and Islamophobic.
- Pipes has called for a war on Islamic extremism, declaring in one post-September 11, 2001 interview, "What we need to do is inspire fear, not affection."
|
|
- Now Daniel Pipes, who has claimed that American Muslims are uniquely dangerous because of their potential for disloyalty (a typical quote: "The Muslim population in this country is not like any other group, for it includes within it a substantial body of people… who share with the suicide hijackers a hatred of the United States.") is taking advantage of this climate to suggest that "bothersome or offensive measures" such as internment camps may be the price "we" have to pay for security.

- The ‘Blind Sheikh,’ Sheikh Omar
Abdul-Rahman, who has been in a maximum security facility
since his conviction on terrorism charges in the mid 1990s,
communicates with his supporters through his legal team,
radical attorney Lynne Stewart, paralegal Ahmed Abdel Sattar,
and interpreter Mohamed Yousry. Abdul-Rahman, who is held at
the Supermax prison in Colorado and then at a medical facility
in Minnesota, has no access to the outside world except
through the team and he uses them to pass on advice. Author
Peter Bergen will comment: “Sheikh Abdul-Rahman’s
incarceration has not prevented him from communicating
important messages to his followers through his family or
lawyers; for instance, in 1997 he endorsed a ceasefire between
the Egyptian government and the terrorist Islamic Group. Then
in 2000 Sheikh Abdul-Rahman publicly withdrew his support from
that ceasefire.” In addition, his will, which appears in
1998 and urges attacks against the US, may also be smuggled
out by his legal team.

Ijaz |
|
|
- In 1996, Mansoor Ijaz had a series of meetings with Sudan's president, Lt. Gen. Omar Hassan Bashir and the Islamic leader, Hassan Turabi as well as Clinton administration officials including Sandy Berger. Ijaz argued the U.S. should adopt a policy of "constructive engagement" with Sudan.
-
|
|
- In a December 2001 op-ed column in the Los Angeles Times Ijaz wrote that between "1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan's president and intelligence chief. President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt's Islamic Jihad, Iran's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas."
