No, I don't know your position. "Position" implies taking and holding a consistent argument, and applying it to circumstances as they appear. You don't do that. You just make protests of innocence and high-mindedness, while denying the existence of any inconvenient facts. You meet inconvenient facts with ad hominem arguments. For example, you called Pipes' citation of Islamists on campus "McCarthyism". McCarthyism means an unjustified witchhunt against innocent subjects of suspicion. Does that mean that your position is Pipes is persecuting the innocent that Sami al Arian is a victim of a witchunt? I don't know and you refuse to say.
