Yes, there is a moderate Islam - let's support it | Jerusalem Post

Interesting Op-Ed piece by Pipes, referring to a Rand Institute paper that calls for, among other things, buillding support for networks of moderate non-Arab Muslims. "The study proposes de-emphasizing the Middle East, and particularly the Arab world. Because this area 'offers less fertile ground for moderate network and institution building than other regions of the Muslim world,' it wants Western governments to focus on Muslims in Southeast Asia, the Balkans and in the Western diaspora, and to help make available their ideas in Arabic." The article draws connections to our helping networks of leftists and more moderate dissidents inthe Soviet Bloc countries during the Cold War.
