Wafa Sultan, author of A God Who Hates, argues that with respect to the United States Constitution, Islam doesn't qualify as a religion. She explains that Islam is both a religion and a state, which is incompatible with a non-Muslim government. "It is impossible for someone to be a true Muslim and a true American at the same time," she argues.

Is there a robust zone of Muslim belief that lives up to the term "moderate?" Or is "moderate Islam" more of a hopeful Western construct? Wafa Sultan and Daniel Pipes disagree.

Wafa Sultan is an author and well known critic of Islam. Sultan trained as a psychiatrist in Syria and is a U.S. naturalized citizen.

Daniel Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum and a prize-winning columnist who writes for the New York Times Syndicate.
