Daniel Pipes to Bin Laden: "Nuts!"

Well, he said it a little more long-windedly than America's soldiers fighting the Battle of the Bulge during WWII--but Daniel Pipes has just rejected Bin Laden's invitation to surrender, switch sides, and join his jihad against America:

So, Al-Qaeda wants me and my "sword" (a reference, presumably, to my computer keyboard) to join its efforts. My response to Gadahn:

I note your offer for me to change sides in the current war. But I am faithful to my own religion, to my own country, and to my civilization. I will do my part to defeat radical, totalitarian Islam and to usher in the emergence of a modern, moderate, and good-neighborly Islam in its place.
