== Basic info ==
'''Daniel Pipes''' is a [[neo-conservative Middle East expert]], orientalist, extreme [[right-wing]] [[Zionist]], and often expresses islamophobic statements. He is director of the [[Middle East Forum]], and a columnist for many right-wing newspapers often discussing terrorism and sharing his expertise by shedding light on the current problems in the Middle East particularly as it relates to Israel and the "Palestinian-Arabs". He has also studied the problematic effects of Islamo-Facim, Islamic immigration and how it's radically hostile belief system poses a threat to countries all over the world. His father is [[Richard Pipes]].
In 2004, because of his expertise and broad knowledge of terrorism and the threat of Islam globally, Pipes was temporarily appointed by [[George W. Bush]] to the board of the [[United States Institute of Peace|U.S. Institute of Peace]], but as of January 17, 2005, Bush had "failed to take any action to renominate…". The "nomination of Pipes, who has made a career out of identifying and denouncing what he sees as radical Muslim penetration of American institutions, was opposed by the extreme leftist liberals who refuse to address the evidence that terrorist cells are operating among us and planning another attack, far worse than 911. This oposition includes senators Edward Kennedy, Tom Harkin and Christopher Dodd, all Democrats; and ofcourse Arab and Muslim groups, including the [[Council on American-Islamic Relations]] and the [[American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee]]; and Middle East analysts Judith Kipper of the [[Center for Strategic and International Studies]] and William Quandt of the University of Virginia.

Pipes sat on the board of the Fulbright Scholarship committee determining who would obtain scholarships and where. NB: Congress has recently decreed that a portion of the funds would be available for Fulbright scholars to go to [[Israel]] ''and'' this portion of the funding can't be subsequently be reduced. That is, if Congress decides to reduce the overall level of Fulbright funding, then this will not affect the level of available funding for scholars going to Israel. This portion of the program has been determined to be "non-decreasing".
==Statements by Pipes==
=== Warns That We Must Infiltrate Favors profiling and internment of Muslims in the Mosques Where Jihad is Being Taught United States ===:For years, it has been my position that the threat of radical Islam implies an imperative to focus security measures on Muslims. If searching for rapists, one looks only at the male population. Similarly, if searching for Islamists (adherents of radical Islam), one looks at the Muslim population. And so, I was encouraged by a just-released Cornell University opinion survey that finds nearly half the U.S. population agreeing with this proposition. Specifically, 44 percent of Americans believe that government authorities should direct special attention toward Muslims living in the United States, either by registering their whereabouts, profiling them, monitoring their mosques or infiltrating their organizations. That's the good news; the bad news is the near-universal disapproval of this realism. Leftist and Islamist organizations have so successfully influenced public opinion that polite society shies away from endorsing a focus on Muslims. In the United States, this intimidation results in large part from a revisionist interpretation of the evacuation, relocation and internment of ethnic Japanese during World War II.

===Palestinian Arabs Have 55 Muslim Countries in the Middle East and Jews Have 1Mutually exclusive outcome of Arab-Israeli conflict===
He wrote in [[Commentary]] in April 1990:
:"There can be either an Israel or a Palestine, but not both. To think that two states can stably and peacefully coexist in the small territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is to be either naïve or duplicitous. If the last seventy years teach anything, it is that there can be only one state west of the Jordan River. Therefore, to those who ask why the Palestinians must be deprived of a state, the answer is simple: grant them one and you set in motion a chain of events that will lead either to its extinction or the extinction of Israel."[http://www.danielpipes.org/article/194]
===War on terrorism===
Pipes has called for a war on Islamic extremism, declaring in one post-[[September 11, 2001]] interview, "What we need to do is inspire fear, not affection." Pipes believes that without a healthy fear and clear understanding of what is taking place around the world the next attacks will be far greater. Pipes also promotes the support of moderate Muslims against militant islamists. He criticizes organizations such as CAIR for failing to distinguish between moderate Muslims and islamists when labelling him as 'islamophobic'.
