He claims:"the use of 'evil' all the time … in religious terms translates into, 'You're a believer or you're a non-believer.' It is us and them, forces of good against forces of evil, and what this does is it leaves no middle-ground for anyone, whether it is countries or people. In effect, that is either the explicit or the subtle message that this administration has been giving out." One wonders, how would Professor Esposito have Mr. Bush characterize Al-Qaeda? As misguided?

Nor is it surprising that that superpower would eventually find itself on the receiving end of a violence backlash."

First, academics seem generally to dislike their own country and think even less of American allies abroad. They portray U.S. policy in an unfriendly light and disparage allies. The closer those allies are (first Israel, followed by Turkey, then at some distance Egypt and Saudi Arabia), the more hostile their analysis. In contrast, they apologize for the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Syrian Ba'th regime, and other rogue states. Likewise, the academics downplay the dangers of militant Islam and terrorism. Revealingly, while Americans overwhelmingly supported the war to liberate Kuwait in 1991 and the war on terrorism today, academic specialists just as overwhelmingly rejected the use of force on both occasions.</font></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 26.88px; padding: 0em 2.5em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Second, Middle East studies in the United States has become the preserve of Middle Eastern Arabs, who have brought their views with them. Membership in the Middle East Studies Association (MESA), the main scholarly association, is now 50 percent of Middle Eastern origin. Though American citizens, many of these scholars actively disassociate themselves from the United States, sometimes even in public. Rashid Khalidi, a historian at the University of Chicago (and former president of MESA) said in the preface of his study of the PLO that he owes"the greatest debt of gratitude to those who gave their lives during the summer of 1982... in defense of the cause of Palestine and the independence of Lebanon." When Edward Said of Columbia University wrote,"Palestinians today are separated by geography and by Israel's designs to keep us fragmented and isolated from one another," he wrote"us" as a Palestinian, not as an American.</font></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 26.88px; padding: 0em 2.5em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In fact, Edward Said can be held responsible for a large portion of the morass of today's Middle East Studies departments. His 1978 book, <i>Orientalism</i>, was a watershed polemic that equated modern Middle East scholarship to racism, imperialism and ethnocentricity. As Martin Kramer notes in <a href="http://www.ivorytowers.org/" target="ivory" style="outline: 0px; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;"><i>Ivory Towers on Sand</i></a>,"In the more than twenty years since the publication of <i>Orientalism</i>, its impact on the broad intellectual climate in American Middle East studies has been far-reaching. <i>Orientalism</i> made it acceptable, even expected, for scholars to spell out their own political commitments as a preface to anything they wrote or did. More than that, it also enshrined an acceptable hierarchy of political commitments, with Palestine at the top, followed by the Arab nation and the Islamic world."</font></font></p><h2 style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; line-height: 26px; letter-spacing: 0.05em; text-transform: uppercase;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?</font></font></h2><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 26.88px; padding: 0em 2.5em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Scholars have an extensive but subtle influence on the way Americans see the Middle East, and set the tone for much of what is taught and learned across America on nearly every level. College students learn from them in the classroom and are influenced by the tone they set for the debate of Middle East politics on over two thousand campuses. High school and elementary teachers take their cue from them. Scholars write newspaper opinion pieces, are quoted in magazine articles, and appear on television. They serve as expert witnesses in court cases. They influence government officials in a variety of ways - a candidate formulating his positions, the CIA seeking outside advice, a congressional staffer preparing legislation, or a speechwriter for the secretary of state.</font></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 26.88px; padding: 0em 2.5em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Campus Watch seeks to reverse the damage already caused by the activist/scholars on American campuses.

A recognized Arabic-language expert and son of the well-known anti-communist crusader <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_richard" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Richard Pipes</a>, the younger Pipes frequently lambasts Arab politics, urges militarist policies aimed at overthrowing Mideast regimes, and pushes a hawkish “pro-Israel” agenda.</font></b>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In April 2013, however, Pipes broke with many of his fellow neoconservatives in declaring that, rather than arming or aiding Syria's opposition forces, the United States should work to ensure a stalemate between the regime of Bashar al-Assad and insurgent forces.</span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> Citing both the U.S.-Soviet alliance in World War II and Washington's double-sided intrigue during the destructive Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, Pipes wrote: “Evil forces pose less danger to us when they make war on each other. This (1) keeps them focused locally and (2) prevents either one from emerging victorious (and thereby posing a yet-greater danger). Western powers should guide enemies to stalemate by helping whichever side is losing, so as to prolong the conflict."<a id="ednref1" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[1]</a></span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Perhaps anticipating criticism that he was essentially advocating a course of ensuring maximum suffering for the people of Syria, Pipes added that "Westerners must be true to their morals and help bring an end to the warfare against civilians, the millions of innocents gratuitously suffering the horrors of civil war," including by threatening the "use of force against violators on either side" if necessary.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Describing Pipes' proposal as "repugnant," Think Progress blogger Zack Beauchamp poked holes in Pipes' comparison to World War II, in which Pipes wrote that the U.S. alliance with Stalin was justifiable in the fight against Nazi Germany. "As a cursory survey of knowledge of World War II history would admit," Beauchamp wrote, "the Allies ultimately supported the Soviets in an attempt to totally defeat the Nazis. Pipes’ favored policy would be more like supporting Stalin until it looked like he was going to win, and then extending Lend-Lease to Hitler so the war would keep going." Beauchamp posited that Pipes' proposal "can perhaps be explained by his background" as an anti-Islamic agitator.<a id="ednref2" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn2" name="_ednref2" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[2]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After the takeover of swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria by the so-called Islamic State group (IS or ISIS) in 2014, Pipes chastised President Obama for deeming the terrorist group as “not Islamic.” In an article titled, “Sorry Mr. President, ISIS is 100 Percent Islamic,” Pipes purported: “neither U.S. Presidents nor Islamist apologists fool people. Anyone with eyes and ears realizes that the Islamic State, like the Taliban and al-Qaeda before it, is 100 percent Islamic.”<a id="ednref3" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn3" name="_ednref3" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[3]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes has attempted to argue that there is a “positive side” to the rise of ISIS, writing in August 2014 for the<em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">National Post</em>: “The caliphate’s barbaric zealotry will have the salutary effect of awakening many of those yet asleep to the horrors of the Islamist agenda.”<a id="ednref4" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn4" name="_ednref4" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[4]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">During the 2014 Gaza War, Pipes maintained staunchly “pro-Israel” positions, framing the conflict as “the civilized and moral forces of Israel” in a “face-off with barbarism.” Writing for the conservative <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Town Hall </em>website, he further opined: “It's a curious war in which Hamas celebrates Palestinian misery and Israel does its best to keep life normal for its enemy.”<a id="ednref5" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn5" name="_ednref5" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[5]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Amnesty International and other international human rights organizations have accused Israel of committing war crimes during the conflict, in which 2,100 Palestinians died, the majority of which were civilians (including hundreds of children).<a id="ednref6" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn6" name="_ednref6" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[6]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Pipes has also supported efforts to identify and damage the reputation of pro-Palestinian student activists. He has said of the Canary Mission</b>, a website launched in February 2015: “Factually documenting who one’s adversaries are and making this information available is a perfectly legitimate undertaking. Collecting information on students has particular value because it signals them that attacking Israel is serious business, not some inconsequential game, and that their actions can damage both Israel and their future careers.”<a id="ednref7" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn7" name="_ednref7" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[7]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Canary Mission’s focus has been described by <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Forward</em> as a focusing on “publicizing the identities of pro-Palestinian student activists to prevent them from getting jobs after they graduate from college.”<a id="ednref8" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn8" name="ednref8" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[8]</a> Canary describes its mission on its website as to “expose individuals and groups that are anti-Freedom, anti-American and anti-Semitic in order to protect the public and our democratic values.”<a id="ednref9" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn9" name="ednref9" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[9]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Although Canary is similar to MEF projects like Campus Watch, MEF along with other hawkish project “pro-Israel” like the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Horowitz_David/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">David Horowitz</a> Freedom Center have denied any affiliation with Canary.<a id="ednref10" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn10" name="_ednref10" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[10]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes was also strongly opposed to the Obama administration’s diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear dispute and denounced the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and six world powers in July 2015. “The conduct of the Iran nuclear negotiations has been wretched, with the Obama administration inconsistent, capitulating, exaggerating, and even deceitful,” he wrote in July 2015. “[This is] arguably the worst international accord not just in American history or modern history, but ever.”<a id="ednref11" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn11" name="_ednref11" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[11]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes has derided President Obama as a “leftist who sees the imperialism, militarism, and corporate greed of the United States as a menace to the outside world.”<a id="ednref12" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn12" name="ednref12" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[12]</a> He has also proclaimed that “the left is the biggest threat to the United States” and that it “seeks to transform the United States from what it is to something quite different.”<a id="ednref13" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn13" name="ednref13" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[13]</a></font>

<strong style=" box-sizing: border-box;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Islamophobia</font></strong>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A widely noted <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/08/islamophobia.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">2011 report</a> published by Center for American Progress listed Pipes and MEF as core participants in an informal grouping of organizations in the United States that have championed divisive anti-Islamic—or “Islamophobic”—rhetoric and policies. According to the report, MEF is one of “five key think tanks led by scholars who are primarily responsible for orchestrating the majority of anti-Islam messages polluting our national discourse today.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The report contends that Pipes, who has a doctorate in medieval Islamic history, “has parlayed his prestigious academic credentials to great effect,” but has “become increasingly out of touch with the realities of the Muslim world at home and abroad, making more extreme and unfounded observations about Islam in the United States.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>In July 2011, Pipes decried efforts by “Leftists” to—in his words—“pin responsibility for the atrocity” committed by Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik on conservative writers like himself</b>.<a id="ednref14" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn14" name="ednref14" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[14]</a> As evidence for his claim, Pipes cited an <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/07/25/278677/islamophobic-right-wing-blogger-breivi/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">article published by Eli Clifton</a> of ThinkProgress, a liberal blog of the Center for American Progress (CAP), which provided statistics on the number of times various Islamophobic writers were cited in Breivik’s manifesto (Pipes and his MEF came in third, with 18 mentions, just ahead of <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/middle_east_media_research_institute" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Middle East Media Research Institute</a> and its 16 mentions). In contrast to Pipes’ claims, however, Clifton—who was also a coauthor of CAP's Islamophobia report—did nor argue in the article that Pipes was to blame for Breivik’s actions. Rather, Clifton wrote, </span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“While a citation in the manifesto is far from an endorsement of violence by those Breivik referenced, it is increasingly clear that the Islamophobic right-wing in the U.S. influenced his views.</span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">”</span><a id="ednref15" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn15" name="ednref15" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: transparent; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">[15]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an “update” to this article published in November 2011, Pipes implied that if leftists could play the blame game with Brievik, it was fair to point to cases were liberals such as Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, authors of the book <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">The Israel Lobby</a></em>, have been cited by alleged Islamic terrorists like Jose Pimentel. After discussing an article by the neoconservative mouthpiece <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Commentary</em> on Pimentel-Walt/Mearsheimer connection, Pipes concluded disingenuously, “I should be one of those touting Walt's role in the Pimentel case but this prospect leaves me dull and uninspired. I simply lack that Leftist politics-of-personal-destruction spirit.”<a id="ednref16" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn16" name="_ednref16" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[16]</a> For reasons left unexplained, Pipes did not think that a discussion of the case in his blog amounted to “touting.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In his many publications on Islamic issues and the war on terror, Pipes often espouses extremist views, some of which border on racism. He once said that Muslim immigrants were "brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and not exactly maintaining Germanic standards of hygiene."<a id="ednref17" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn17" name="ednref17" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[17]</a> Regarding the reason for invading Iraq, Pipes opined: "WMD was never the basic reason for war. Nor was it the horrid repression in Iraq. Or the danger Saddam posed to his neighbors. … The campaign in Iraq is about keeping promises to the United States or paying the consequences. … Keep your promises or you are gone. It's a powerful precedent that U.S. leaders should make the most of.”<a id="ednref18" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn18" name="ednref18" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[18]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>After a plot to attack Fort Dix, New Jersey was uncovered, the right-wing <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">National Review</em>Online asked Pipes and others what lessons they drew from the events. Pipes responded: "Immigrants seeking refuge in the West must be grilled for their attitudes</b> toward our civilization, our religion, and politics. Whether it be Somali refugees in the United Kingdom, Algerian ones in France, or Balkan ones in the United States (remember the Salt Lake City shooter in February, as well as four of the current six accused terrorists [involved in the Fort Dix plot]), individuals given the privilege and benefits of a new life then with some regularity turn around and attack their adapted fellow citizens. This unacceptable pattern has to be scrutinized to prevent future such atrocities.”<a id="ednref19" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn19" name="_ednref19" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[19]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In January 2010, Pipes penned an article in the <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">National Review</em> in which he lauded the controversial right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who is best known for calling Mohammed a “devil” and demanding that Muslims “<a href="http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/03/27/wilders039-movie-all-about-dutch-politics.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">tear out half of the Koran</a> if they wish to stay in the Netherlands.” Calling Wilders “a charismatic, savvy, principled, and outspoken leader who has rapidly become the most dynamic political force in the Netherlands,” Pipes used his article to decry a lawsuit charging Wilders with hate speech and incitement to hatred, saying that he stands “shoulder-to-shoulder [with Wilders] against the lawsuit” and that he “reject[s] the criminalization of political differences.”<a id="ednref20" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn20" name="_ednref20" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[20]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Observers noted the irony of the fact that Pipes, a hardline Israel-centric ideologue, would unabashedly support a politician who openly considers alliances with anti-Semitic elements in Europe and has been harshly criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for pushing a “message of hate against Islam [that is] inflammatory, divisive and antithetical to American democratic ideals.”<a id="ednref21" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn21" name="_ednref21" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[21]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>“Pipes’ endorsement of Wilders brings a new low to his credibility as a serious commentator on Middle East affairs,”</b> reported the Inter Press Service, noting that Pipes is not alone among neoconservatives in supporting Wilders. “During his frequent trips to the U.S., Wilders has enjoyed the hospitality of <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Gaffney_Frank" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Frank Gaffney</a>’s <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Center_for_Security_Policy/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Center for Security Policy</a>, David Horowitz’s Freedom Center, Pipes’ <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Middle_East_Forum" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Middle East Forum</a>, and the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/republican_jewish_committee" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Republican Jewish Coalition</a>.”<a id="ednref22" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn22" name="_ednref22" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[22]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Despite his show of support for Wilders and others of his ilk, Pipes has tried to distinguish himself from the more vitriolic crop of anti-Islamic bloggers in the United States. “This anti-Islamic agitation has been growing over time, and it’s much stronger than in 2001,” he told Michelle Boorstein of the <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Washington Post</em>’s “On Faith” blog in 2010. “Pipes,” Boorstein wrote, “says while he shares a concern about radical Islam with today's crop of bloggers, he considers them ‘anti-Islam’ because in his view they see the faith and it[s] scripture as fundamentally problematic for a pluralistic, democratic society like the United States and unchangeable.”<a id="ednref23" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn23" name="_ednref23" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[23]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Still, Pipes told Boorstein that he shares “the same enemies” with the latest generation of agitators. "We're in the same trench but we have different views of what the problem is. We both see an attempt to impose Islamic law, sharia, in the West. We are both against it, and want to maintain Western civilization. But [we] understand the nature of the problem differently,” he said. This led Boorstein to wonder whether or not this was an “important distinction.”<a id="ednref24" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn24" name="_ednref24" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[24]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Indeed, in a <a href="http://www.meforum.org/1869/middle-east-forum-launches-islamist-watch-website" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">2008 MEF press release</a> announcing the launch of a website for the group’s “Islamist Watch” project, Pipes warned: "Quietly, lawfully, peacefully, Islamists do their work throughout the West to impose aspects of Islamic law, win special privileges for themselves, shut down criticism of Islam, create Muslim-only zones, and deprive women and non-Muslims of their full civil rights."</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes has backed numerous high-profile neoconservative and Likud-aligned initiatives. He supported efforts by the now-defunct <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Project_for_the_New_American_Century" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Project for the New American Century</a> (PNAC) to pressure the George W. Bush administration to join Israel in waging a broad war on terrorism in the Middle East in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.<a id="ednref25" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn25" name="_ednref25" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[25]</a> He has also been a member of the presidium of the Likud-aligned <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Jerusalem_Summit" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Jerusalem Summit</a>, a member of the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/US_Committee_for_a_Free_Lebanon" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">U.S. Committee for a Free Lebanon</a>, and a scholar at the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Washington_Institute_for_Near_East_Policy" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Washington Institute for Near East Policy</a>, a think tank that was spun off from the powerful lobbying group the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/American_Israel_Public_Affairs_Committee" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">American Israel Public Affairs Committee</a>(AIPAC).</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes’ success at promoting both himself and his views was underscored in 2003, when President Bush nominated Pipes to serve on the board of the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). A conservative <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Boston Globe</em> columnist, commenting on the nomination, opined that if Pipe's "admonitions [on Islamic terrorism] had been heeded, there might never have been a 9/11."<a id="ednref26" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn26" name="_ednref26" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[26]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Other observers, however, have argued that following Pipes' advice would have led the country to war with most of the Arab world. In 2000, for example, he co-produced with <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Abdelnour_Ziad" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;"><u style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Ziad Abdelnour</u></a> and the <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/US_Committee_for_a_Free_Lebanon" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;"><u style=" box-sizing: border-box;">U.S. Committee for a Free Lebanon</u></a> a report calling for the United States to force Syria from Lebanon and to disarm it of its alleged weapons of mass destruction. The document, titled "Ending Syria's Occupation of Lebanon: The U.S. Role?", argued that "Syrian rule in Lebanon stands in direct opposition to American ideals" and criticized the United States for engaging rather than confronting the regime. Regarding the use of force, the document reasoned: "The Vietnam legacy and the sour memories of dead American Marines in Beirut notwithstanding, … the United States has entered a new era of undisputed military supremacy with an appreciable drop in human losses on the battlefield. … This opens the door to a similar decision to act for Lebanon's endangered freedoms and pluralism. But this opportunity may not wait, for as weapons-of-mass-destruction capabilities spread, the risks of such action will rapidly grow."<a id="ednref27" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn27" name="_ednref27" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[27]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When congressional figures and media pundits expressed outrage over Bush's nomination of Pipes to the USIP, Pipes' friends in the neoconservative community quickly came to his defense. <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">Washington Post</em> columnist <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/krauthammer_charles" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Charles Krauthammer</a> wrote that the "attack on Pipes" was nothing but "another symptom of the absurd political correctness surrounding Islamic radicalism."<a id="ednref28" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn28" name="ednref28" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[28]</a> Following strong opposition from Democratic senators, President Bush bypassed the Senate and gave Pipes a recess appointment.<a id="ednref29" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn29" name="ednref29" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[29]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When Pipes' term at USIP ended in 2005, Bush declined to renominate him, which came as little surprise to the many observers who pointed to the incessant criticism Pipes directed at the Bush administration while serving on USIP's board. Wrote Jim Lobe: "Pipes blasted USIP for hosting a conference with the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, charging that it employed Muslim 'radicals' on its staff. That accusation was publicly refuted by the USIP itself, which echoed the complaints of his longtime critics, accusing him of relying on 'quotes taken out of context, guilt by association, errors of fact, and innuendo.' Pipes also criticized Bush for 'legitimizing' various 'Islamist' groups, such as CAIR and the Arab-American Institute, by permitting their representatives to take part in White House and other government ceremonies, and for failing to identify 'radical Islam' as 'the enemy' in the war on terror."<a id="ednref30" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn30" name="_ednref30" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[30]</a></font>

<strong style=" box-sizing: border-box;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Other Endeavors</font></strong>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In early 2005, Pipes suggested establishing an Anti-Islamist Institute, which he argued was necessary because "in the long term … the legal activities of Islamists pose as much or even a greater set of challenges than the illegal ones." He also promoted the creation of the Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP), which according to its website is "a think tank that challenges the dominance of American Muslim life by militant Islamist groups."<a id="ednref31" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn31" name="_ednref31" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[31]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The CIP was purportedly created to fight back against the influence of the Wahabi movement—a very conservative strain of Islam—in the United States. It proposes to get rid of the monopoly that the "Wahabi lobby" supposedly has on Washington. This lobby includes, according to CIP, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America, the North American Islamic Trust, the Muslim Students' Association of the United States and Canada, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Some scholars view these as independent, not Wahhabist, organizations. Other organizations targeted by CIP include more secular groups, such as the Arab-American Institute and the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. However, some associates of CIP expressed concern when queried about the various groups to be targeted by the new organization. Ali al-Ahmed, who was named as CIP's first director of research, told the Inter Press Service that although he supported the group's goals, he was surprised at the list of organizations to be scrutinized by CIP because several of the "Wahhabi lobby" groups were in fact independent.<a id="ednref32" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn32" name="_ednref32" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[32]</a></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pipes' personal website, DanielPipes.org, often attacks Islamic figures and organizations. It posts his publications, which frequently appear in the pages of rightist outlets like the <em style=" box-sizing: border-box;">New York Sun</em> and FrontPageMagazine.com, which is a project of David Horowitz's Freedom Center. DanielPipes.org also hosts Pipes' weblog, where he discusses issues such as the potential for war between Israel and Syria and the potentially unhappy consequences for Israel of Arab demographic growth.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In May 2006, Pipes received the "Guardian of Zion" award, given annually to a prominent supporter of the state of Israel by the Rennert Center for Jerusalem Studies at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.<a id="ednref33" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn33" name="_ednref33" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[33]</a></font>

<strong style=" box-sizing: border-box;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Middle East Forum</font></strong>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the early 1990s, Pipes founded the Middle East Forum (MEF), a think tank that describes itself as "aimed at defining and promoting American interests in the Middle East. … The Forum holds that the United States has vital interests in the region; in particular, it believes in strong ties with Israel, Turkey, and other democracies as they emerge; works for human rights throughout the region; seeks a stable supply and a low price of oil; and promotes the peaceful settlement of regional and international disputes."</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Among MEF's programs is Campus Watch, which tracks university professors who are perceived to be anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-Palestinian, or pro-Islamist. Seen by many as an affront to academic freedom and an attempt to silence criticism of U.S. policies toward Israel and the Arab world, the program encourages students at colleges and universities to report any teachers who exhibit such behaviors in the classroom. One critic of Campus Watch, Joel Benin, a former professor of Middle East studies at Stanford University, said of the program: "Campus Watch … compiles dossiers on professors and universities that do not meet its standard of uncritical support for the policies of George Bush and Ariel Sharon. … The efforts to stifle public debate about U.S. Middle East policy and criticism of Israel are being promoted by a network of neoconservative true believers with strong links to the Israeli hard right. They are enthusiastic supporters of the Bush administration's hands off approach to Ariel Sharon's suppression of the Palestinian uprising. And they are aggressive proponents of a preemptive U.S. strike against Iraq.”<a id="ednref34" href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/pipes_daniel/#edn34" name="_ednref34" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">[34]</a></font>

<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A non-exhaustive Right Web investigation of MEF’s Form 990 tax records from 2000-2009 shows that the organization’s coffers have been replete with funds from foundations identified by CAP as the top funders of the Islamophobia network. During this period, MEF received at least $325,000 from the Russell Berrie Foundation, $240,000 from the Lynde and Harry <a href="http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/bradley_foundation" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Bradley Foundation</a>, $200,000 from the Newton and Rochelle Becker Charitable Trust, and over $2 million from both the Donors Capital Fund and the William Rosenwald Family Fund. All told, Right Web identified at least $8,801,450 raised by MEF in this period, primarily coming from pro-Israel organizations and other right-wing outfits.

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">"In 2002, Pipes launched <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Campus_Watch" title="Campus Watch" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Campus Watch</a> to monitor professors and academics that deviate from Pipes’ political ideologies.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">This website inspired the creation of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/David_Horowitz" title="David Horowitz" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">David Horowitz</a>’s Discover the Networks,</span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> established in 2003 to track the political left, and both sites have subsequently shared content. Pipes’ 2003 book, Militant Islam Reaches America, was one of the earliest to hype the threat of “militant Islam” infiltrating America. He observed that “all immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most.”</span></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">A 2007 Pew Research Center report found just the opposite, concluding that “a comprehensive nationwide survey of American Muslims finds them to be largely assimilated, happy with their lives, and moderate with respect to many of the issues that have divided Muslims and Westerners around the world.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In 2006, Pipes launched </span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Islamist Watch,</span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> which “combats the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West.” It then attempted to document the threats. His Middle East Forum published CAIR: Islamist Fooling the Establishment, in which he argues that a stealth movement of “the Wahhabi Lobby” will take over our nation. Without corroborating evidence, Pipes smeared the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, whose sole purpose as an organization is to “challenge the stereotypes of Islam and Muslims” and to “provide an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public.”</span></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Then, in 2007, he created the Legal Project as a subsidiary of the Middle East Forum, in response to a “suit brought by the Islamic Society of Boston against defendants, including Steven Emerson” (the founder and executive director of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Investigative_Project_on_Terrorism" title="Investigative Project on Terrorism" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Investigative Project on Terrorism</a>, whom we profile later in this chapter), and it now functions as a resource to limit defamation lawsuits brought by other aggrieved Muslim organizations.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Pipes refers to these Muslim American advocacy organizations, such as the Muslim Public Affairs Council—which is “a public service agency that has built a reputation as a consistent and reliable resource for government and media and is trusted by American Muslims as an authentic, experienced voice”—as “Islamists,” and describes their constitutionally protected right of using the legal system for redress as a “threat.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">His Islamophobia took a further turn when in 2008 he recommended increased racial profiling of Muslims and Arabs to cope with this impending exaggerated threat.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Then, in 2009, he relaunched the Legal Project website to function as “a source of information on ‘Islamist lawfare’—that is, attempts by supporters of radical Islam to suppress free discourse on Islam and terrorism by (1) exploiting Western legal systems and traditions and (2) recruiting state actors and international organizations such as the United Nations.”" <sup id="cite_ref-Fear_Inc._1-2" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Talk:Daniel_Pipes#cite_note-Fear_Inc.-1" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[1]</a></sup></font></p>

<dd style=" margin-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-right: 0px;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">For years, it has been my position that the threat of radical <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Islam" title="Islam" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Islam</a> implies an imperative to focus security measures on Muslims. If searching for rapists, one looks only at the male population. Similarly, if searching for Islamists (adherents of radical Islam), one looks at the Muslim population. And so, I was encouraged by a just-released Cornell University opinion survey that finds nearly half the U.S. population agreeing with this proposition. Specifically, 44 percent of Americans believe that government authorities should direct special attention toward Muslims living in the United States, either by registering their whereabouts, profiling them, monitoring their mosques or infiltrating their organizations. That's the good news; the bad news is the near-universal disapproval of this realism. Leftist and Islamist organizations have so successfully influenced public opinion that polite society shies away from endorsing a focus on Muslims. In the United States, this intimidation results in large part from a revisionist interpretation of the evacuation, relocation and internment of ethnic Japanese during World War II.</font></dd>

After failing in his own pursuit of an academic career, Pipes has evidently decided to take revenge on the scholarly community that rejected him. ... Campus Watch notes that "Middle East studies in the United States has become the preserve of Middle Eastern Arabs, who have brought their views with them. Membership in the Middle East Studies Association (MESA), the main scholarly association, is now 50 percent of Middle Eastern origin." Some Americans have foolishly believed that all U.S. citizens have equal rights regardless of their country of origin and that pointing to peoples' country of origin to discredit them is a form of racism. This too, is outmoded thinking according to Campus Watch. But imagine the uproar that would be created by the suggestion that because Daniel Pipes is Jewish he may be more loyal to Israel than to the United States."</font></dd>

<dd style=" margin-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-right: 0px;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Now <b>Daniel Pipes</b>, 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.

This is a dangerous argument. After all, none of the 9/11 hijackers were American - unlike, for example, Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols. It would be far more efficient to engage in what Malkin calls "threat profiling" by setting up internment camps for members of far-right political groups than for American Muslims. We can only hope that Malkin and Pipes would at least object to the former proposal.

I have reverted edits by 2007patriot to an earlier version by Sheldon Rampton. There was no basis for the edits and watered down Pipes' Zionism and dismissed criticisms from the left. --<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/User:Judith_Siers-Poisson" title="User:Judith Siers-Poisson" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Judith Siers-Poisson</a> 21:58, 5 February 2008 (EST)</font>

The recent mass revision was basically for all purposes, a puff piece for Pipes, glossing over his more incediary remarks, as well as basically glossing over his various connections. As such I reverted the article back to PaulR's version. --<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/SiberioS" title="SiberioS" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">SiberioS</a></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">I have also determined to revert the mass overhaul by 24.193.243.158. Seeing that SiberioS has already reverted, I'll add my reasons in support. Briefly and simply stated, at this stage of article development, individual edits of fact would be welcome. Deleting of content which is obviously partisan or extremely subjective is usually a good thing. Substitution with equally partisan content is not productive. Deletion of factual content is unacceptable. --<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/User:Maynard" title="User:Maynard" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Maynard</a> 21:08, 4 Jan 2005 (EST)</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Again, the material is exactly the same as before, and is again, another puff piece for Pipes. Some of the material COULD be included, though minus certain subjective statements and positions. The person whose doing the updates should DISCUSS what changes are wanted, and after a consensus is reached, they can be added.</font>
