Even a stopped clock is right two times a day
Amir Butler likes to point fingers at Americans for attacking
Muslims out of hatred and bloodlust. Surprise, surprise - Amir actually
found a real, live, insane Muslim hater and did us all a public service by embarrassing him. I could go into details, but I'll defer to
Rottweiller:
Unfortunately (and predictably, given the numbers) one blogger took it upon himself to defend the indefensible. The blogger I'm talking about is Alley Writer, who apparently hates every Moslem so bad that he's quite prepared to describe Robert J. Goldstein as "a thwarted hero who could no longer allow Jews to be murdered unavenged."
Mr. "Alley Writer": I do share your point of view that the only way to win this war is to take it to the enemy. But that, ironically enough, is exactly where we differ. You see the "enemy" as innocent Moslems anywhere you can find them, I see them as Islamo-fascist nutcases who have declared themselves enemies of ours. To be sure, there has to be overlaps, but to deliberately plan blowing up men, women and children who have done absolutely nothing wrong, is just as despicable as what the people we're at war against are doing.
...
As to Mr. Butler's "outing" you, I can only say that, whereas it goes against my principles in the worst possible way, in your case I have to wonder if it's not the best way to deal with you. Clearly you're so blinded by hatred that you can no longer see the line between losing innocent lives as a tragic consequence of war and deliberately aiming for them. If you'd posted a retraction the day after, I wouldn't have had a problem, we all get irate from time to time. But seeing as how you seem to stand by your point of view (anybody who doubts me can peruse Alley Writer's site), which is to say that everybody who happens to be Moslem is a "legitimate" target, whether they've actually done anything wrong or not, I have to ask myself if it's safe to have you wandering the streets.
Indeed. But please, fair reader, don't take this as an endorsement of Mr. Butler.
Remember that Mr. Butler is the fellow who
uncritically presented the Saudi intellectuals as "peace activists", ignoring the fact that their refusal to criticise the profoundly undemocratic Saudi regime renders their claims ludicrous.
Butler has insinuated that the oppression of women was a communist lie in an apology for the Taliban, commented favorably on
Sayyid Qutb, who
even the ultra left Guardian acknowledges as the father of radical Islamic fundamentalism, and
attacked MEMRI for the sin of translating the filth published in the Arab media.
In short, he's an apologist for the Taliban who constantly points fingers at imaginary enemies of Islam, and this time he found a real one.
