Screed

One of the things that has really started to annoy me is the moral equivalence being shown towards Islamofascism by those on the left. Finally, James Lileks says what I have been thinking but have thuse far been unsuccessful in articulating:

We’re often told that Islamic terrorism has an exact mirror in Christian-inspired extremism. Sure, there are thousands of jihadis killing and maiming people of all creeds and colors, but look at Timothy McVeigh! Can’t; he’s compost now. But when he was alive he wasn’t shouldering aside old ladies to make morning Mass; McVeigh was one of those pathetic Aryan pagans who would have beat up Jesus for his dusky hue. What about that abortion bomber guy, Eric Rudolph? Sorry; he calls himself a disciple of Nietzsche. Well, what about the Crusades? And Dresden? Fine. Drop us a line when someone drives a 737 into the Sears Tower on behalf of a bygone Pope and General Eisenhower.

There you have it. That is my take on the subject... Now, let's move on to something else...
