:::Sorry, but I already brought this up on Andy's talk page and the Examples of Bias talk page, and those posts were ignored. (You know how that feels...) However, I admit that I'm not wasting much tact on something that is effectively just racism (or at least an open invitation for it). Quoting our dear, "neoconservative academic" himself:
  −
{{cquote|Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers.}}
  −
:::What's the next step then? Since they "must be considered potential killers", let's... oh, I dunno... stuff them all into prisons or a [[ghetto]] so they can't commit Sudden Jihad? Oh, and make them wear a special badge around their arm so we're warned... *whistles innocently*
  −
:::Here, a bonus, from the same City Journal article:
  −
{{cquote|The first and most straightforward thing is not to allow any more Islamists into the country. Each Islamist who enters the United States, whether as a visitor or an immigrant, is one more enemy on the home front. Officials need to scrutinize the speech, associations, and activities of potential visitors or immigrants for any signs of Islamist allegiances and keep out anyone they suspect of such ties.
  −
(...)
  −
Resident Muslim aliens who reveal themselves to be Islamist should be immediately expelled from the country before they have a chance to act. Citizen Islamists will have to be watched very closely and without cease.}}
  −
:::Yep, I can feel the love. Let the [[racial profiling]] begin! Let's monitor everybody for <s>thoughtcrime</s> Islamist trends! I'll accept being called a liberal for opposing this open hate. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 15:37, 18 January 2008 (EST)
      
I disagree strongly with merging this. I think Pipes is wrong. I don't know if he is being racist. But none of that is relevant. The term isn't used only by Daniel Pipes. Google shows over 25,000 hits for it. [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Sudden+Jihad+Syndrome%22&btnG=Google+Search] . The term has been used in other notable places such as a column in the Washington times. <ref>http://washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080102/NATION/203823370/1001</ref>. And the connection of all these terrorists to SJS has been made by other sources also[http://www.montanasnews.com/articles.php?mode=view&id=7227].
