How can you not like a man like Chris Hitchens…

…he has all the tools of classical liberalism. You can’t help but respect such a man even when disagreeing with him. Michael J. Totten’s site contains part one of a two part interview that I suspect a lot of people missed last week with all the political news out there. One gem from it:

Hitchens: Here’s a way of throwing an Oregon progressive into a state of confusion: ask him or her if they’ve read the latest Al Qaeda pronouncements on the Hindu question. Or, shall we put it another way, a billion infidels, brown-skinned, third world, living in a secular democracy, and all of them deemed by fatwa as fit only for slaughter.

Who’s the racist here? Me for pointing that out?

Read the whole thing.

When self rightous people attack Christianity…

…this is what they see and are attacking:

The 23-year-old holidaymaker said she was attacked by a waiter working at her hotel.

But when she reported the attack to police she was arrested for drinking in an unlicensed premises and for having sex outside marriage with her 44-year-old British boyfriend.

Yeah just like those Christianists to be acting like this but there is more…

Today it was revealed that the woman has been told that she must drop the rape allegation, admit she was drunk at the time and marry her fiancee if she wants to return to Britain.

The British Embassy in the emirate will marry the couple within weeks in the hope that lawyers will drop charges against her.

Now unless you are living on planet secular human liberal you of course know that this story takes place in the Islamic country of Dubai and the people involved are Muslims

As foreigners from Europe they normally would not be leaned on so but in this case:

it is likely officers were more strict because the couple are Muslim.

Yesterday, a former cellmate of the woman told a newspaper: ‘She’s a British girl but a Muslim, so they were tougher on her.

‘She was trying to report the rape but soon realized the policemen were more interested in how often she has sex with her boyfriend.’

There are a lot of words you can describe justice like this, being a calm and diplomatic sort I describe it the act of barbarian bastards.

When you hear about Sharia courts and that kind of thing in Europe and Canada and non-integrated this is what is coming, and do you know what the worst part that prospect is?

…the worst part is the prospect of a 2nd horrible criminal double standard like the one I’ve already written about:

Much like inner city violence, gang violence, drugs, the slaughter and destruction of Black communities, it is ignored because it is being done by people of the same skin color and being run like political fiefdoms. As long as those fiefdoms provide the votes by (maybe buy) hook or crook all is well. And any attempt to make change, then those who are supported financially by said fiefdom scream bloody murder and racism.

The end result of this type of thing is going to be virtual serfdom of Sharia for Muslims who come to the west. If you aren’t upset by this you should be. If you are more upset by Brit Hume than by this, then you really gotta sit down and think.

Update: In other news concerning the religion of peace:

Firebombs were thrown at three more churches in Malaysia on Sunday and another was splashed with black paint, the latest in a series of assaults on Christian houses of worship following a court decision allowing non-Muslims to use “Allah” to refer to God.

CNN gave a full segment with pundits to talk about Hume today, The media talked about this for a week. I wonder if they will give this much, if any, coverage?

Did I hear Mika refer to radical Islam as a cult?

Either that or suggest it is like a cult?

I have a pal, very Roman Catholic who has always considered Islam as a whole a Satanic cult. I don’t think I would go there myself, but I think cult is one of the best ways to describe Radical Islam.

If you think of it as a cult their beliefs, their methods and their violence make perfect sense, personally I think of it more as a Mafia family but either way it pressures even those outside of it to conform or suffer the consequences.

If we are going to actually win this war two things are necessary, the first is to separate Radical Islam from mainline Islam and the second is to call Radical Islam what it is:

A dangerous and murderous group that is totally incomparable with democratic and free society that has to be at best restrained and at worst destroyed.

The biggest danger of radical Islam is for it to become “mainstream” within Islam. If it does and/or becomes the most prominent sect of Islam then we will have an actual war against Islam to fight. Even a win would be disastrous as the slaughter would be horrible.

All our efforts should be to prevent the above from happening, because if we don’t then the cost for stopping it will increase dramatically.

Yahoo is looking better and better.

I popped over to Pam Geller’s site today and noticed an interesting post concerning Google search. She references this post at the next web:

When you search for the major religions of the world, the monotheistic faiths for example, Google serves up suggestions for the search “Christianity is” such as, “a lie,” or false.” Try it on a a number of faiths, and then Islam.

Notice any difference?

Google is systematically blocking, it seems, all search suggestions for Islam. Why? To remove the chance of an adherent of the faith from being offended by a perhaps severe search suggestion? Why not treat all search terms equally?

Given the complete lack of suggestions, not just terms that could be perceived as negative, it seems that Google is covering its, well, behind.

Take a look at the graphics, they are rather damning and cowardly. I tried the “is” combinations myself and got the same results as the screen shots. Remember Glenn’s oft repeated warning:

MY ADVICE TO CHRISTIANS, JEWS, HINDUS, ETC: Start blowing things up and beheading people. This will gain you enormous solicitude from the powers-that-be…

…No, I’m not serious about the advice. But they need to think about the incentive that’s being created here, or I fear that others will take the lesson. When you reward behavior, you tend to get more of it.

For the fun of it I tried the same thing with yahoo. The results for “Christianity is”, “Judaism is” are comparable with the Google results, but take a look at “Islam is”:

When you use google as your only search engine, you are behaving no differently than if you used only ABC, CBS and NBC as your only networks.
