| Description: | The weblog (or blog) at www.DanielPipes.org was started in February 2003 and took full shape by mid-2003. The goal of the weblog is provide a way for Mr. Pipes, the author of twelve books and a weekly columnist, to do several things: •Opine briefly on diverse topics, mostly within his areas of specialization: "Talking Freely about the Enemy." •Document otherwise little-noted but significant developments: "CAIR's Legal Tribulations" and "The United States at War with Hamas and Hezbollah." •Break news: "The California Congress of Republicans & Its Strange Friends" or "More Reasons for Brandon Mayfield's Incarceration." •Chronicle long-duration stories in one place: "The Khadrs, Canada's First Family of Terrorism, in the News" and "The Islamic Society of Boston & the Politicians' Red Faces." •Place current events in their historical context: "American Know-Nothing Diplomacy." •Provide autobiographical information, both serious ("Tariq Ramadan, the Chicago Tribune, and Me)" and whimsical ("Mr. Pipes Comes to America"). •Recount events at the more noteworthy of his talks: "My Talk at UC-Berkeley" and "Did the ACLU Disrupt My Talk at American University?" •Engage, in the spirit of the Internet, in a to-and-fro with other weblog writers: "'The American Muslim' and Islamist Intentions for the United States." •Offer predictions: "Arabs and Jews Sorting Themselves Out Politically in the United States?" and "Predictions about the U.S. Presidential Election." •Serve as public notes for other authors to draw upon: for example, "Londonistan Follies" gave Mona Charen the information for her column "Our Enemies are Stupid," about terrorism in London. •List bibliographic information: "Bibliography – My Writings on the Gaza Withdrawal." •Offer topics for others to pursue: "If I Had Enough Time … Research Suggestions Given Away." •Correct the record: "Department of Corrections (of Others' Mistakes about Me)." •Provide a forum for discussion: Here the outstanding example is "Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men," which has some 6,600 comments on it, mostly from non-Muslim women discussing their Muslim husbands.. This weblog has two main features that make it distinct from other blogs. •Many entries contain updates. These are either reports on how something came out or further information on the same topic. In certain cases, the many updates amount to an on-going log on a topic, for example "Is Prince Charles a Convert to Islam?" and "Conspiracy Theories Keep Polio Alive." Other entries are open-ended compilations, such as "Calling Islamism the Enemy" and "More Incidents of 'Denying [Islamist] Terrorism'." •Entries are dated by when something happens rather than when the entry was written. This has the advantage of directing the reader to when an event takes place. Mr. Pipes sees the weblog as a fast way to comment on many topics. He therefore frequently quotes and paraphrases his sources. Out of 41,000 weblogs monitored by DayPop.com (and out of an estimated 10 million weblogs in all), DanielPipes.org has ranked 271st highest in terms of the number of links from other weblogs and as high as 110th highest in terms of over-all readership.

Sudden Jihad or "Inordinate Stress" at Ft. Hood?
When a Muslim in the West for no apparent reason violently attacks non-Muslims, a predictable argument ensues about motives. The establishment – law enforcement, politicians, the media, and the academy – stands on one side of this debate, insisting that
