Mark Steyn: Celebrate tolerance, or you're dead

the Saudis' Burqa King version of globalization.

How DOES Steyn do it?

I do not recall the officials in Sweden closing down the investigation of the Minister who criticized homosexuality.

These liberals are lying scum and quite frankly I would not mind seeing terrorists getting a better hand in Sweden. Let the worst come to the worst. Sweden is small and a not the overwhelming economic power to the west as a whole. If one of these liberal states fell perhaps it would be a lesson to those sitting on the fence.

//sarcasm off// I think....

“…..I enjoy the don't-eat-your-sexual-partner stuff as much as the next infidel”

Considering he is talking about Europe will not this prohibition be a problem in Germany where this is the latest fashion in judicial restraint/tolerance?

The Swedes also annnounced this week they will not participate in a NATO exercise because the Israelis are participating too. And they restored funding to Hamas.

This would be something akin to a modern-day version of the European response to various German gambits in the mid-1930s.

I figured the off-hand mention of Naomi Klein merited a post....

Our tolerant multicultural society is so tolerant and multicultural we'll tolerate your intolerant uniculturalism.

At least this guy Goran Lambertz is honest about it and understands where the radical strain of multiculturalism he's indulging in logically leads.

Signora Fallaci rounds up a quarter-century's worth of westerners who've insisted that everything you know was invented by Islam: paper, medicine, sherbet, artichokes, on and on and on . . .

For, I guess, the last ten or twelve years we have been bombarded by implications, subtle and bold and finally with two by four across the back of the head, that all people of note through all of history were homosexuals. Liberals have told us this is true of J. Edgar Hoover, Alexander the Great, Abraham Lincoln, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. For that matter, you may fill in the blank listing your favorite historical giant as part of the club.

Now we learn that all great inventions are gifts of Islam.

As soon as liberals begin touting gay Islam as the true Valhalla, we may finally reach the apex. We will surely find the composite Imhotep cum Leonardo cum Edison cum Einstein. There can be no doubt the guy is or was. It just requires the true historian to locate him, and you guessed it, a liberal, gay historian of Islamic persuasion.

Finally, we have defined real talent.

Thanks for the Steyn ping!

"William Tayler might have questioned whether that was such a great deal. The House of Saud used the Americans' "iron" to enrich themselves and export the hardest, most unyielding form of Islam to the Balkans and Indonesia and Britain and North America.

Thank you for the ping!!!

" She writes in Italian, of course, but she translates them herself into what she calls "the oddities of Fallaci's English," and the result is a bravura improvised aria, impassioned and somewhat unpredictable. It's full of facts, starting with the fall of Constantinople in 1453, when Mehmet II celebrated with beheading and sodomizing, and some lucky lads found themselves on the receiving end of both."

This guy's prose is pure poetry!

I hope there's still enough time for North Americans to save themselves.

Canada is as bad as Europe so they're out. The President of the United States runs around proclaiming that "Islam is a religion of peace" - and he is from the saner of US political parties. Not alot of hope for North America either I'm afraid - not at the moment anyway.

She might come in a nice package -- but, she's still a shallow, soft-lefty moonbat bimbo & an embarrassment to Canada. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[r9etb]

I'll take your word for it -- I'd never heard of her before.

"all people of note through all of history were homosexuals. Liberals have told us this is true of J. Edgar Hoover, Alexander the Great, Abraham Lincoln, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. For that matter, you may fill in the blank listing your favorite historical giant as part of the club."

What's important to remember is that these "people of note" were all IN THE CLOSET when they made their historic contributions. What does that tell you?

[Lurker]

Thanks for the whole thing Pokey.
