July 29, 2003 -- A NOTE FROM THE EDITORS: CAIR, a group discussed in this column, has campaigned to derail Daniel Pipes' nomination to the board of the U.S. Institute of Peace.
AMERICANS are increasingly negative about Islam and Muslims - or so found an important survey that the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press published last week.

Well, maybe if they just split the difference (the year 2003 minus the year 700) and moved up to the 1450s, they would have a better chance!

Is it really that hard to understand why Americans are not on friendly terms with Islam?

I was thinking about this - what a PR nightmare islam now has. Does anyone think that all the recent violence has converted one new person to islam in the first world? Doubtful.
9/11, Palestinian homicide bombings, Bali, Russia (theater) - these muslims sure do like to kill people! And for their own damn selves, too - wanna bag me some virgins in heaven. Not to mention the CAIR whining. Religion of Peace my arse.

Islam doesn't have an image problem .... it has a substance problem.

Who can forget the celebrating after 911... There are those who would want us to forget, and those of us who will never forget.
