Angry but with no specific sugestions ping - not sure what VDH is proposing here. The Belmont Club in Response at Fallujah offers more practicable advice.

Ya think? (sarcasm)

[aloysius89]

I second the motion.

[Irene Adler]

Wow. Very powerful analysis culminating in a disturbing question.

[PGalt]

Thanks for this post. Outstanding article!

<< quidnunc has an annoying habit of unnecessary excerpting. >>

Hasn't it though?

It seems to be a form of obsessive-compulsive passive aggression by way of which that patently self-absorbed pseudo-psychopath attracts a little attention and from which apparently derives some small satisfaction.

A bit like those similarly anti-social creeps who block the nation's fast lanes at two miles per hour under its speed limits -- the self-appointed speed-limit police.

Every manifestation of pathological loneliness is pathetic, though -- and poor quiddy provides no exception.

and thanks for your full post!

Islam is an insane murder cult, from Mad Mo until today.

We're going to find out, sooner or later, if Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.

Powerful truth from Victor Davis Hanson!

The enemy of the Middle East is not the West so much as modernism itself and the humiliation that accrues when millions themselves are nursed by fantasies, hypocrisies, and conspiracies to explain their own failures. Quite simply, any society in which citizens owe their allegiance to the tribe rather than the nation, do not believe in democracy enough to institute it, shun female intellectual contributions, allow polygamy, insist on patriarchy, institutionalize religious persecution, ignore family planning, expect endemic corruption, tolerate honor killings, see no need to vote, and define knowledge as mastery of the Koran is deeply pathological.

[Coroner]

Do you have a link about the hairless children. That would be great ammo for me to use!!

[Travis McGee]

All true.

I don't have anything specific to lay my hands on this moment.

Right after the fall of the shah of Iran. Komeini (sp) published a book that was translated into english. I nearly vomited reading it. There was an entire chapter devoted to the things that were and weren't appropriate to have sex with. Ducks are on the list, dogs and pig are off. I am fairly sure that this was my source.

Jamie Glaznov one of the contributing writers at Horowitz's site ( Front Page) has several lenghty articles about the depraved sexual proclivities in Islam. Just go to columnists and select him. There are a couple of years of articles.

I think that it is time to remind them what shock and awe is all about with about 5000 dead Iraqis.

Another prescient one from wretchard: Mordor -- for archy's ping list.

According to this view, the Left desires, not a Gramscian extinction but power above anything else. The power to regulate all aspects of human existence, all human relations, all cultural attitudes, all state authority. And while the Left might make temporary alliance with the Jihadis, the attainment of ultimate power requires an eventual liquidation of the Jihad. There is only room for one scorpion in a bottle.

read this one... He has about 6 lenghty articles regarding sexuality in Islamic cultures.

In a matter of decades months they would be flea-bitten nomads wandering the desert again.
