Quote for the Day

"He saw it as his duty to stand up for his community and that's what led him to know George Galloway. He has a lot of respect for him and has met him many times," - the sister of one of the alleged would-be airplane bombers.

We've known for a very long time that Galloway is a man who tolerates anti-Western violence - his long and passionate support for mass-murderer, Saddam Hussein, proves it. But what does it say about the state of Islam that one of its young believers believes that the best way of "standing up for his community" is not to make arguments, or proselytize, or campaign - but to murder innocent civilians he has never met. There is something terribly sick within the Muslim mind at this moment in history. It is Nietzsche's ressentiment, but with God re-attached. We should indeed fear these people for the hideous carnage they can wreak for the sake of their God. But we should never let our fear overwhelm our contempt for them - their sickness, their evil, their petty insecurities, their inability to live meaningful lives and their attempt to assuage this by murdering others in God's name. Yes, they evil. But they are also pathetic, miserable excuses for human beings.

Sullivan's Damage Control
Excerpt: The error was in Sullivan's writing, not in the reader's interpretation. That's what he still fails to realize. I believe him when he says his conflation was unintentional, but it takes a good track record to be given the benefit of the doubt.

Sullivan, Islam, and
Excerpt: But when Sullivan refers to the feelings of Islamic terrorists, he calls it "Nietzsche's ressentiment, but with God re-attached". I'm not sure what he meant by saying "but with God re-attached". When did ressentiment become detached from God? My unde...
