Regardless as to how blatantly obvious the brutish fascism of the salafi jihadists or Islamofascists is, the Left will generally find a way to be nonplussed, perhaps to dismiss it out of hand, or perhaps to qualify it with a more deft and nuanced “yea, but …” retort. If their self-righteousness is trespassed or their self-enamored reflections are interrupted, beware.
The Christopher Hitchens piece, linked to in a nearby post, is yet another reflection of this virtually ubiquitous phenomenon from the precincts occupied by the highly fevered ideological religionists of the Left.
Michael, good to see you over here! “Ubiquitous” is right. The spin on the dead Afghans in the riot (as Roger talks about in the next post) is going to be interesting.
Actually, it already is interesting. I heard on NPR that it’s all our fault…
NPR? What Hath God Wrought?
Buddy, that’s not “God”, that’s “Governmentally-Approved Non-Denominational Non-Gendered Hypothetical Supreme Being.” Shame on you. Go stand in the corner and repent.
Thx Baron, though I suspect some bandwidth hosts think I’m all too “ubiquitous” myself at times :-/
Crooked Timber, today, represents one such example.
(I visit GatesOfVienna btw, a couple or more times a week.)
Ahh, you’re right, I meant The Competition.
Michael — well, I make myself a pest in a lot of places, too. So does Buddy, come to think of it — but he’s more witty than I am.
Ha! the only thing I’ve got on you, Baron, is I have more to be modest about!
(Oh, ok, that was stolen from Winston Churchill.)
I wish there was something that could be done for that poor girl and her child.
How can people be so cruel?
Anyone else notice the deafening silence from America’s elite feminists? Accounts of these atrocities have beome mainstream news by now and where is Patricia Ireland and company?
