What Do We Have to Teach the Muslim World? Reflections Occasioned by the Death of Maria Schneider
I was one of those who saw "Last Tango in Paris" when it was first released, in 1972. I haven't seen it since and I don't remember anything specific about it except one scene, the scene you remember too, the 'butter scene,' in which the Marlon Brando character sodomizes the Maria Schneider character. Maria Schneider died…

Terror Attack at Moscow’s Main Airport
NYT account here. "Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for Russia’s Investigative Committee, said the attack was probably carried out by a male suicide bomber, and that authorities were trying to identify him." Was he a Confucian perhaps, a Buddhist, or a Christian? The Gray Lady provides no clue. Maybe he was a generic faith-based bomber. After all, everyone…

Thilo Sarrazin and Muslim Integration
A friend gave me a copy of Thilo Sarrazin, Deutschland Schafft Sich Ab (Germany Does Away With Itself), but I haven't had time to read it. So I found this summary of some of Sarrazin's points useful. I cannot vouch for its accuracy.

Egyptian Muslims Serve as Human Shields at Coptic Christmas Mass
As things currently stand, Islam is uniquely violent among the world religions and a major threat to Western civilization. That is not to say that all or even most Muslims are violent or evil people. It is to say that Islam is an ideological superstructure wherein acts of unspeakable violence can be easily legitimated. To mention…

Report from Pakistan
As things stand at present, Islam is uniquely violent among the world religions and a major threat to Western civilization. (And its own 'civilization,' such as it is, ought to be judged by its rotten and poisonous fruits.) To make matters worse, radical Islam has found plenty of useful idiots on the Left to lend…

The Religion of Peace Strikes Again
Horace Jeffery Hodges on American Al-Awlaki's call for the killing of Americans. Is he calling for his own killing? All religions are the same, right? So there must be Confucian, Daoist, B'hai, . . . , calls for mass murder. If not, am I permitted the thought that just maybe Islam is uniquely violent?

Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Islamic Moderate?
Spencer Case, on his way home from Afghanistan, e-mails: I recently wrote a column on Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the supposed Islamic moderate. It's been a long time since I've written a column that was really controversial, but this might break the dry spell. I hope you will share it with your readers not only for…

Again on “Muslims Attacked Us on 9/11”
This just over the transom in response to a post from yesterday. Your terminology is technically correct, but what is incorrect with the statement "Muslim extremists attacked us on 911"? One does not have to be ‘politically correct’ to have a desire not to invite misunderstanding of a statement (that it equals: " Muslims-as-a-group attacked…

Islam and the West
It is certainly time that the West considered systematically whether it has irreconcilable differences with Islam. The belligerence of many Islamic spokesmen and the unassimilable quality of many Muslim immigrants in the West, as well as the spectacular terrorist provocations of extreme Islamic groups, make this a very legitimate question. Read the rest.

Self-Censorship Among the Politically Correct
There is no chicken like a liberal chicken. Here. Prager's comment: "Secular + Liberal = Wimp." UPDATE 10/14. Reason magazine weighs in. Just Admit it, Newspapers: You're Scared of Muslims. Of course. The self-censorship is motivated by fear. And it is a rational fear, which is why 'Islamophobia' and cognates are idiotic constructions that ought…

No Provision in Islam for Mosque-State Separation
John Hick, An Interpretation of Religion (Yale UP, 1989, pp. 48-49): From the point of view of the understanding of this state of islam [submission to Allah] the Muslim sees no distinction between the religious and the secular. The whole of life is to be lived in the presence of Allah and is the sphere…

Joseph Bottum on the Ground Zero Mosque
Here. Excerpt: Of course, the first thing that has to be said about the building of an enormous Muslim center so close to the destroyed towers is that it’s wildly offensive. And the second thing to be said is that it’s wildly constitutional. The offensiveness looks like this: Regardless of how it is intended, it will…
