[a history buff]

Askel5 posted some of Belloc's other writings on Islam. Far less flattering. Coincidentally, I was looking for a book on European history at a college library the same week, and came across Belloc's "The Jews." I would never quote Belloc on racial characterists after reading the introduction to that book.

I can post them again.

As we were trying to discuss on the original post (before the Usual Suspects trashed it), Belloc himself called himself out on what he felt was a failing with regard to certain "anti-semitic" strains in his writing.

I was upfront such that I interjected Romulus's note in that regard in the middle of the original Belloc post, if you remember.

Unfortunately, the "Adults" are not always in charge of themselves around here and it's tough to sift the wheat from the chaff without someone screaming 'HATE CRIME' and wiping the slate clean like some Soviet revisionist.
