No doubt you have seen the buttons at many blogs pointing to the
Religion of Peace site and its running tally of Islamic terror attacks. But, if you're like me, you've always wondered what is really represented by this figure and how much of it is a count of the almost daily (and arguably often more tribal than Islamic) bombings in Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, a new blogger in his
first post is providing some insightful analysis of the RoP figure. And just six months ago, this guy was believing what the BBC and the Guardian were feeding him!
...and then to discover that you have been in fact – one can only suppose deliberately - kept in utter ignorance is truly a shock to the system.
ReplyDeleteAnd there I was this morning, having a bowl of cereal in the hotel breakfast room with CNN on the screen. "Afghanistan Victory?" or some such with the question mark, was the caption. On the screen was year old footage from Fallujah. CNN isn't a news channel, it is a deceptive mouthpiece for enemy propaganda. And by the enemy I mean the Left.
Well Coisty, I certainly think that the entire tradition of western gnosticism (the fantasy ideologies of the left) are largely and primarily to blame for the mess we're in. Islam, because it has proved an economic and scientific failure, can be nothing but an opportunistic infection in relation to western decline.
ReplyDeleteBut some might say I'm still a neocon in outlook. However, what I really think is that those who would pit traditionalist conservatism vs neoconservatism are often guilty of ignoring what new mode of the sacred can possibly transcend the two. Do you really think either neoconservatism or traditionalism is sufficient unto itself?
Coisty
ReplyDeleteThanks for your non sequitor.
Now go read the data. This has nothing to do with 'attacks against Americans' but with the worldwide jihad.
