'If you are unconvinced by Redecker's case, so be it. Pick Rushdie's, the
most famous of the death threat recipients. And check out the manifesto
he signed warning against Islamic "totalitarianism."'
It's not Redecker's case that doesn't impress me so much as the way his case
is used by those with an agenda. All too soon, the case against
fundamentalist islam becomes a blanket case against the whole religion.
Hense the discussion in the other thread about defining miltant islamics.
"To repeat, yeah, we gotta feel sorry for those poor oppressed little
dark people, while hating evil white men. It's the politically correct
thing to do."
No! These are your words not mine. I will hate 'evil' white men and I will
hate 'evil' black men, but I do not throw a sheet over the entire white
population and call them evil merely because it is politically correct to do
so. That's nonsense and I'd guess you know it.
