Infidel Alliance: Again, exactly the same could be said about the Jews, as well as for some “christian” sects. After all, the Jews slaughtered the Philistines, did they not? Did not Jahve smite Sodom and Gomorra, and so lay the ground for the killings of people like Dr. Tiller? Etc. The West hating all muslims is exactly what Al Quaeda wants. Do you want the terrorists to win? Writing like you do sure seems so.
In my city Oslo, the same city Bawer lives in, there is so little violence that you americans would find it funny. Out of the 72 women killed by their husbands the last 5 years out of a population of 5.2 million, under half of those were foreigners. I work every day with muslim troubled children, and so indirectly with some of the muslims in this city who do the same. There is a lot of problematic points in the conflict between islam and the west, but screaming at the top of ones lungs doesnt solve the everyday situations, it just creates more violence. Wich is what anti-jihadists like mr. Bawer seeks to create, just so he can sell more books on the blood of innocents on all sides of the conflict. As a norwegian former soldier (we have the draft) I strongly object to him and his nationalistic Koran-burning associates setting my comrades in Afghan in danger, as well as making Oslo a less safe city by pissing off 8% of its population.
