the whole thing's a lot of Manichean piss, as the Belgians would say.

The nearly irresistible urge to mock Christians of every stripe is the expression of cynicism from those too cowardly to be earnest about anything other than cynicism.

When a fellow's got hang-ups about things that happened a millennium ago, there's no point trying to assuage them; he'll only unearth some earlier grievance, demanding the Natural History Museum be dismantled because some stegosaurus was disrespectful to Muslims back in the Jurassic era. Priceless!

Why is George W. Bush's utterly unremarkable evangelical Christianity so self-evidently risible but complaints from British Muslims hung up over the 11th century are perfectly reasonable and something we should seek to accommodate?

Wow! Imagine the logical contortions that the Left must perform to answer this question reasonably.

This coloumn got surprisngly little attention here.

Perhaps as a European, the truth of it, hits very close to home.

Cheers.

PC and liberalism is utter insanity. They are destroying themselves and their own country from within.
