A choice quote from an article of unmatched stupidity

An Ill Season

This is the Egypt where the toppling of the pro-American, pro-peace Mubarak regime was celebrated by the rape of CBS correspondent Lara Logan amid the familiar chants of “Allahu Akbar!” The same Egypt where, just a few weeks ago, Islamist factions wiped out the proponents of democracy by a whopping 78–22 margin in a referendum on the formation of a new government.

See what he did there you guise? Mubarak was pro-American (synonymous with goodness) and pro-peace, while the Muslims who overthrew him were rapists duh. Also, the referendum was not about “the formation of a new government” but, hey, never let things like reality get in the way of your determined metanarrative. Or the Islamists win.

I’ve been unable to comment on the events in Imbaba because the whole thing is personally devastating to me.

There was an article about an 11 year old girl who was gang-raped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed up like a 21-year-old prostitute. And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it’s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn’t happen to our students.

“The clash of civilizations would have been easy for the West to win if it had simply pitted the ideas and institutions of the 21st century against those of the seventh. No such luck. In the new mash of civilizations, our most dangerous foes are the Islamists who understand how to post fatwas on Facebook, email the holy Quran, and tweet the call to jihad.”
