Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz is a close associate of Daniel Pipes with whom he founded the think tank, Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP).[1]

In December 2004 he was touring the US with Husain Haqqani, a neoconservative-connected Pakistani, in support of a think tank by the name of Institute for Islamic Progress and Peace(IIPP).[2] It is not clear, however, whether CIP and IIPP, both set up by Daniel Pipes, are one and the same.

A brief biographical note on the FrontPage website describes him as "a vociferous critic of Wahhabism[1][2][3], Schwartz is a frequent contributor to the National Review, the Weekly Standard, FrontPage, and other conservative publications."[4]

On 6 June 2003, Schwartz participated in a programme at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies on "Saudi Arabia: Friend or Foe?".
