Their line is reminiscent of the Cheney era, a lot of neocon bs like working with Saudi Arabia and Turkey for geopolitical reasons (e.g. containing iran) under the guise of 'democracy & human rights'. It's pretty much garbage to me but that's just my opinion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Forum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Forum It's ran by Pipes, here's a piece on just one of his many silly positions: > Pipes notes that many in the Muslim world believe Barack Obama is or was a Muslim. Pipes alleged that Obama falsely claims that he had never been a Muslim, and his "the campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that Obama never prayed in a mosque." Pipes wrote an article for FrontPage Magazine entitled "Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam." According to Pipes, "this matters" because Democratic presidential candidate Obama "is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed", and as president this would have "large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world." Ben Smith, in an article on Politico responded to these accusations claiming that they amounted to a "template for a faux-legitimate assault on Obama's religion" and that Daniel Pipes' work "is pretty stunning in the twists of its logic". I mean it's just ridiculous, and it's pretty indicative of his well known fetish for all things muslim or arab, which shines through the 'middle east forum'.
