1. RAW Watch: Redneck Racism Still Rampant

2. In this amazingly dishonest article, Mustafa Qadri accuses terrorism and Islam expert Daniel Pipes of "racism" (without ever explaining how Islam is a race, of course) for essentially speaking the truth. I should point out now that I don't agree with everything Pipes says. He's on the right side, but occasionally makes some quite stupid and confused statements. Nevertheless, he is not a racist, and Mustafa Qadri's tendency to simply quote anything Pipes says as self-evident racism rather than refuting it speaks for itself. It is a pretty good indicator that someone's viewpoint on this matter is to be ignored if they use the word "racism" - it's one of the dumbest things anyone could say in such a debate.

Robert Spencer has often asked this question, and I repeat it here: Why can't Muslims debate?
