"One of the angles Islamists like to use is that their culture is moral, while ours is not ... and that is just false."

Right, and that's a very important point.

"However, I think Greg Gutfeld is also making a point."

He's making, at best, morally self-nullifying statement. His great proposal paints the picture that the contest is between the hilarious fun culture of sport-rutting on the one hand, and the grim, morally-stern imams on the other.

No matter how Gutfeld intends it, that's what the idea yields in terms of visual imagery: a carnival of spiritual vacuity, vs. a hell-bent spiritual force.

Both sides are repulsive. But between the two, the grim Muslims are by far the more likely to prevail.

the grim, morally-stern imams on the other

I think that's the error he's trying to correct ... because a lot of those "morally stern" imams are sodomites in real life. However, I could be "reading in," as the saying goes, what I think the gesture is supposed to reveal. I read Mr. Gutfeld's book, and he a bit out there.

Here's the tagline to which I was referring - just to give credit where due. It's not a comprehensive statement, of course, but I think it's an important point. We show too much respect and good manners to evil, not to mention to outright bat-guano craziness. (Bill says "The Comedian" is a comic book character I wouldn't like. Fwiw. I don't like comics anyhow.)
