But for everyone else, please note that Detective made clear right at the top that this is an article from more than three years ago.
Time Magazine and the author may have a different opinion about shooting people than about firebombing a building. After all, guns were used in the attack and we all know what liberals think about guns ;-)
On a more serious point, somebody ought to do some research in the Time Magazine archives and find some articles from the Luce days about the Middle East. Luce, for all his faults, was a virulent anti-Communist, a defender of individualism, and a supporter of free speech and free enterprise. It would not surprise me if his magazine decades ago had some severely negative comments about Islam and its role in human history.
I don't know but I'd like to read comments by anyone who does know, or who can take the time to do the research.
I bet TIME thought Larry Flynt was a “free speech” hero
