Oh, Ye Divided Infidels
For a long time I have disliked Robert Spencer. That is not to say I don't respect and admire him. Or, that I don't buy his books, and read his website. It is, instead, to say that I don't appreciate his morality. I think his world view is lacking in creativity and faith. And, I think that if everyone thought like him, the world would be an even sadder place than it already is.
Here's a quote from Robert Spencer on the morning after Saddam's execution:
With Saddam out of power, there is no one with the will or the strength to keep Iraq united, except possibly Iran -- the chief beneficiary of the American democracy project. Here is yet another fruit of the wholesale ignorance of and wishful thinking about Islam that prevails in Washington.For my part, I don't care if Iraq is united. I think we are giving Arabs/Muslims an opportunity and it is their responsibility to seize it, and make it their own. If they choose to revert to the feeding frenzy that is Islamofascism, then that's too bad. At a certain point, we will be forced to come up with new questions and answers, new solutions, as to how to best deal with the permanently suicidal, if that is what they choose.
I have some ideas.
I'd love to hear everyone else's opinion.
