Professor Daniel Pipes is sound and knowledgeable on Islam. And this is fair comment re the Trump brouhaha on banning Muslims.
Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, called on Dec. 7 for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." Replace one word in this formulation and it goes from outrageous to brilliant.
By the way, Prof Pipes is also good on the Council on American Islamic Relations which, for the mainstream media and Obama, is the go-to outfit for comment on Muslim and Islamic issues. CAIR is, however, a deeply dubious outfit grown out of the Muslim Brotherhood and linked to the terror outfit Hamas (which is all a bit of by-the-by. Pipes' info on CAIR is on his home page)
