Good point, well taken, SLJP, and my apologies for being one of the contributors to the sidetracking. Methinks the underlying objection to certain words used in Ann's 9/13 in-the-heat-of-passion column is the "politically incorrect" implication that "converting them to Christianity" is somehow offensive to Muslims, Jews and the secular crowd. Those who buy the current revisionist history version of the orginal Crusades of a millenium ago.
IMHO, Ann Coulter was fired because certain words in her column were considered "politically incorrect" by those who harbor a basic contempt for Christianity and it's teachings. And, given NR's history of publishing other "politically incorrect" articles, NR has shown a huge amount of hypocrisy by firing her for this particular column.
