'Anti-Islamist' Crusader Plants New Seeds by Jim Lobe: "He has proposed the creation of a new Anti-Islamist Institute (AII) designed to expose legal 'political activities' of 'Islamists,' such as 'prohibiting families from sending pork or pork byproducts to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq,' which nonetheless, in his view, serve the interests of radical Islam.

'In the long term...the legal activities of Islamists pose as much or even a greater set of challenges than the illegal ones,' according to the draft of a grant proposal by Pipes' Middle East Forum (MEF) obtained by IPS."
