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.

Sigh...The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed

Edited version to follow in the morning. Again.

There is no wheat in the Belloc's trite musings. He begins my positing that a certain people are a "problem" and "incompamtible" with "Christendom." I almost posted his tripe, not because I agree with it, but because people should see where religious intolerance of any variety can end. I hope tha the litmus tests we will employ are adherence to the precepts of natural law expounded in our Constitution, and not, as some on the forum would have us do, go by Blairean [Eric] 15 minutes of hate to decide how we live our lives. Hatred destroys all.
