Not an Ostrich

I have much respect for Daniel Pipes since he's one of the handful of academics who are courageous enough to point out Islamists whenever they see them. Here's a somewhat long profile of this brave man. His dad, the great Richard Pipes, comments in the profile:

"Of course we're worried. The Russians were more rational than the Muslims whom he confronts. They cared to live! But we are proud of him. Both of his courage and common sense. He understands the true nature of the danger the West faces."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Via LFG.
