"How delightful to have two people so quickly jump to the defense of the
Islamists bent upon taking over Europe. Perhaps Allah is behind them after
all."
Actually, my concern was defending the British Welfare State rather than
Islamists since, as it seemed to me, it was the system that Bawer was
attacking.
As for Allah - well I've just taken a look over my shoulder and all I can see
is the silhouette of a oak tree against a topaz sky.
Rant coming....
The problem Lawrence is that you are labelling anyone who disagrees with you
(or the authors you quote) as closet Islamists. You have no conception that
there has been any wrongdoing by the forces you support. If I rail against
Bush, then I must be an Islamist - or at a push a raving Leftist. There's no
middle ground is there?
Yet the vast majority of people in the world just want to live their lives.
Whatever religion, whatever creed, they just want to live their lives. But
people like you and Bush won't let them because you, and he, demand that they
take sides.
Still. One day soon I'm going analyse the dates of each Bin Laden Broadcast.
