#1 Not really news here at the Burg, but a sobering read nonetheless.

#2 Bawer further documents how Norwegian (Oslo) imams preach brazenly that Muslims should expect such welfare benefits—and feel justified in supplementing them by stealing from stores—as a form of jizya* extracted from their infidel “host” societies—societies that have not yet accepted their requisite subservience to Islamic Law!

These must be the moderates, since they're not calling for throat-slittings.

#3 The 60 Minutes story on Al Qaeda's rule in Tal Afar shows what the Euros have to look forward to. Sharia interpreted as random beheadings to keep the populace under control.

#4 Reality bites.

"I wasn’t fond of the hypocritical conservative-Christian line about hating the sin and loving the sinner, but it was preferable to the forthright fundamentalist Muslim view that homosexuals merited death."

He may not LIKE it, but it IS true: this is exactly what is going on in MY mind, and any attempt to deny it is simply telling me that I am not thinking what I say I am thinking. It is an accusation that I am a liar without either proof that he is right or leaves me any means of proving him wrong. This is the key to demonization, and it should be viewed as such.

#5 Ptah, this guy's problem was he bought into the leftist lie that any show of disapproval means hatred and oppression. It wasn't until he saw what real hatred looks like that he was able to open his eyes.

I suspect that bit was thrown in as a sop to his old mates on the left. In all likelihood, though, now that he's criticized the Oppressed Muslim Masses, he'll be thrown under the bus and declared a fascist.

#7 and a perverse, self-loathing denigration of its own Western heritage, firmly rooted in both Christianity, and the Enlightenmen

Another wise man who talks of Christianity with absolutely no concept whatsoever of what he is talking about. One of the most fundamental concepts of Christianity is forgiveness. One confesses ones sins, acknowledges them and accepts forgiveness and grace. Only in the mind of a gay man who sees all Christians through the bigoted lens of ALL Christians as an amorphous blob - "they-out-to-get-me" - would think that self-loathing and denigration are rooted in Christianity.

No clue. None whatsoever.

#8 in fact, it is so freaking clueless it is mind boggling.

#9 2b, I think he's just written that bit poorly. I think he meant:

and a perverse, self-loathing denigration of its own Western heritage [which is] firmly rooted in both Christianity, and the Enlightenment

Not that the self-loathing is rooted in Christianity and the Enlightenment, but that Western heritage is.

IMHO, that's inarguable.

#10 maybe. It's otherwise an interesting piece.

#11 "maybe" meaning that I think you may be right :-)

#12 English is not my first language, but my reading of that particular segment was the same as Mr. Crawford's.

#13 Islam manifests itself as a political ideology, not merely a religion, when its teachings are followed on these and other prominent and enduring features.

Until we see this caveat appended to every article of substance dealing with Islam, the battle will not be won. We are truly in WWIV.

#14 ok. That does make sense. Guess I jumped the gun on that one.
