Interesting read (passed his head around in a basket?) but I still think it shameful that folks are confusing the "raised consciousness" of so-called radical Muslims with faithful practice of Islam.

Particularly the monied youngsters who (as is the case in the families of plenty of wealthy Americans and the guy who ended up the speaker for the group that assassinated Sadat) are the PRIMARY targets for turning since their money and their connections and their educated heads are so much more useful than the cannon fodder they stuff into suicide bomber sausage casings.

After-dinner port is traditionally (and quite logically) passed to the left, but I confess I have no idea what etiquette has to say about the passing of severed heads. What a barbarous age it is that we inhabit!

Sometimes I pity the Muslims, seeing them as fellow descendants of Abraham, targeted by the evil one not like us -- Christians and Jews -- by temptation to deficient faith (atheism and idolatry), but to a faith that's robust but disordered: irrational, fanatic, cut off from both the Law and Mercy. But in the end, it all points back to Abraham -- does it not? -- and especially to his charitable, hospitable, life-loving monotheism that the adversary so despises.
