Here's part of his 2004 wrap column: "And in the Netherlands, the spiritual home of liberal tolerance, something went dreadfully wrong in November. The murder by an Islamist fanatic of radical Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh, who had made a movie condemning violence against women in Muslim societies, was a deplorable but isolated event. The subsequent displays of hostility and outright violence both by Dutch-born Muslims and by Christian or post-Christian Dutch who used to preach tolerance were shameful and deeply worrisome -- and the further east you go in Europe, the worse it gets. The continent is still a long way from the Promised Land. ...

The dominant motif in the Middle East during 2004 was the US war in Iraq, from the repeated sieges of Fallujah, Najaf and Karbala to the disgusting images from Abu Ghraib prison, but the single great event was the November death of Yasser Arafat, the embodiment of Palestinian aspirations for the past forty years. But it was a measure of the success
of the US-Israeli strategy for rendering him irrelevant that his death actually changed very little in terms of the realities and possibilities of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute."

Note that "jihad" against the infidel is an "isolated event", according to this kook.

I guess the Berg and other beheadings don't "disgust" him? How about the indiscriminate murder of Iraqi civilians by "insurgents"?

No, eh? I didn't think so.

WHAT A LOSER!

I got another PHd that he can commiserate with:

I present: Mr. Jeremy Hilary Boob, PHd (PHUD)

at least he's interesting to look at, for a "Nowhere Man".
