Someday... Somewhere...












Recently, Robert Spencer quoted from a Greenwich Post op-ed that castigated Spencer and Pam Geller for their public ads against terrorism as evidence of supposed bigotry. 

As part of his argument, the journalist, Ken Borsuk, quoted a Republican member of the Connecticut House of Representatives: 

Mr. Camillo told the Post he supports vigilance to protect Americans but that doesn’t extend to “casting a suspicious eye on everyone that is Muslim” adding that is “against everything we stand for as Americans.” 

Spencer responded:  

How exactly does this ad cast "a suspicious eye on everyone that is Muslim"? Unexplained. In a sane world, people would be noting the high number of jihad attacks and calling upon the Muslim community to reform and act decisively against the teachings that led to them, and requiring real action from them, not just words. But in our world, the messenger is killed instead. 

Hesperado rolled his eyes and wondered whether that sane world that does -- with eminent and unquestionable good reason -- cast a suspicious eye on all Muslims exists perhaps as a parallel, or perpendicular, or even logically possible, universe somewhere, somehow.  

Wherever that universe is, it hasn't yet been spoken into existence by the Counter-Jihad.

What are they waiting for?  Permission from the Politically Correct Multiculturalists...?

Read the book White Gold. The world DID exist in the past prior to oil.

Egghead,

Tell that to Spencer, not me.

Well, you're the one who asked....

Anyway, I emailed Spencer years ago about the contradictions in his basic premise (before I had read any comments by you).

Do you think that he responded or changed his views?
