Fundamentalism
Let’s get one thing straight from the outset. I am not heterophobic. In fact, some of my best friends are heterosexuals. (Oh, OK, maybe “best friends” is not as accurate a descriptor as “some monodimensional caricatures I once saw on a sitcom”, but you get the picture.)
Anyway. Up until recently, I was open-minded about people who chose heterosexual lifestyles so long as they didn’t indulge in any of their perverted hanky panky in public, in private or in their fervid imaginations.
Lately, however, it has become clear that radical straights are infiltrating the highest echelons of Western society in a nefarious attempt to indoctrinate young people with their deviate, pro-heterosexual agendas.

Police wanted to capture Mohammed Merah alive, but in the end a sniper killed him as he jumped out of his window.
The self-proclaimed jihadist who claims to be al-Qaeda killed three French paratroopers, three school children and a rabbi in revenge for the French Army’s involvement in Afghanistan and the deaths of Palestinian children.
He killed them in cold blood, he taped it, he wanted people to see the footage. He is now dead, no tears here. But what if he had been taken alive?

The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington that people’s cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold War world.
With plans underway to build an Islamic centre and mosque near Ground Zero, New York, where the September 11 attacks took place, many are once again are questioning this theory.
A recent poll by Quinnipiac University showed 67 per cent of voters across New York state want the mosque and community centre to be moved further away from Ground Zero than currently proposed (which is two blocks away). The poll also found 80 per cent agreed the project was legally allowed to go ahead.

@Billy: Your response assumes a connection between the “religious nutters” responsible for 9/11 and the proponents of Park51, but it is self-evident that no relevant connection exists. The irrational aggregation of unrelated individuals for the purpose of casting moral judgment is a classic bigot manoeuvre. If there’s a “double standard”… Read more »

Jon, sigh. No matter what you do, you can not paint Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as an extremist. He’s not like you. “This insult to America is only a propaganda exercise used to convince useful idiots that Islam is genuinely peaceful and so far it has worked.” The only insult… Read more »
