<<Do you really think it would be nessecary? Most of us already know how they would react.>>
What I think I know about possible Muslim reaction to anything isn't the last word and certainly what the general public thinks it knows about this isn't the last word either. There's a lot of Muslims out there and I don't believe they or any other group that size would think in lock-step. As a matter of fact, I know they wouldn't. So, while Pipes' opinions on how the Muslim world would react to a Jewish Zionist Veep wouldn't be necessary in any sense of the word, they would certainly be interesting to a lot of people, myself included, whether I agreed with him or not.
Pipes did not refrain from commenting publicly on how Muslims might react to a successful run by Lieberman because it "wasn't necessary;" Pipes held off comment because it would obviously hurt Lieberman's chances, and Pipes, promoting Israel's interests 24/7 even at the expense of America's, was not about to do anything to hurt the chances of someone on "his side" becoming Vice President and possibly even President of the U.S.A.
