(passed his head around in a basket?)

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.
