Daniel Pipes vs Islamism

There is an interesting profile of Islamic scholar Daniel Pipes in Harvard Magazine. ""It's a mistake to blame Islam, a religion 14 centuries old, for the evil that should be ascribed to militant Islam, a totalitarian ideology less than a century old. Militant Islam is the problem, but moderate Islam is the solution." ~Daniel Pipes" http://www.harvard-magazine.com/on-line/010540.html His critics call him McCarthyite, racist, and a bigot. I haven't read his writings so I have no opinion other than that he seems to inspire strong opinions.
