==Conservative Critics==
Major conservative critics include [[Daniel Pipes]] and [[Robert Spencer]]. Pipes argues that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution.”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/1862 |title=Radical Islam the problem, moderate the solution, says Pipes|author=Frances Kraft|publisher=Campus Watch|date=April 6, 2005}}</ref> Spencer is skeptical that a moderate Islam can be established and sustained.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://frontpagemag.com/2010/03/17/is-there-a-moderate-islam/ |title=Is There a Moderate Islam?|author=Robert Spencer|date=Mar 17, 2010|publisher=Front Page Magazine}}</ref> In contrast to the critics, [[Dinesh D'Souza]] defends Islamic fundamentalists and argues that they are conservatives who are legitimately appalled over the decadence and degradation of modern culture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/211372/land-free/dinesh-dsouza |title=Land of The Free|author=Dinesh D’Souza|July 2, 2004|publisher=National Review Online}}</ref>
