Pinging the Steyn list.

I never tired of hearing the stories of people who saved others (the actual heroes) but would quickly change channels when media people asked each other how they felt, what 9/11 meant to the Muslims, if the media was covering the stories properly, etc.

Another "priceless" article by The Master!

"The trouble is we're all being so sensitive about Muslims that pretty much everything that goes on within the isolated Islamic communities of the West is presumed to be a "cultural tradition" that we chaps can't understand and should just leave alone - like taking your camera to school on the morning of September 11."

Or like learning how to fly but not land an airliner.

Thanks, Pokes!

Like being made part of the pavement if you don't convert to Islam pronto? I'm sure we'll find out though I pray it never happens in my lifetime. I agree with Mark Steyn that attempts to convert Muslims into Bambi innocents persecuted by the American Gestapo just don't wash. They want to live in this country but not to become Americans. If we had the druthers we'd send em all packing back home. Of course defending ourselves from would be radical Islamists in our midst is considered being insufficiently "sensitive" to Islam. And the point is that we were in fact too sensitive to Islam on the morning of 9-11, 3,000 Americans paid with their lives. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Ummmm. Fire good. Steyn good. Occasional 12 year old Single malt good...

On the radio, CBS's star anchor, Dan Rather, revealed that, as the anniversary approached, he had to struggle to remind himself that "this story isn't about me"

I made myself sit through a behind-the-scenes of that VH1 concert, remember the one where Hillary was booed (and VH1 has now edited out the booing in subsequent rebroadcasts)? Melissa Etheridge said more than once: 'that night and that concert just weren't about us. Even the rock royalty on that stage didn't matter, it was all about the firemen.' Other elitist artistic jerks said similar things. In their blatherings about their own modesty and humility, they expose the true nature of their self-absorption.

I really hope he makes a book of his columns this past year. he has been a beacon.

Good grief. This is the first I've heard of those "prescient" students and their cameras. WHY ISN'T THE FBI FOLLOWING THIS UP? WHY ARE THESE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES STILL HERE?

[gcruse]

This is a the British version of the one he wrote for
the Canada press the other day.  It is interesting to
see what changes Mark makes to keep his
column pointed at a particular national audience
while saying ninety percent the same thing.  It
must be like putting in a brain tuned to each
culture and redoing his column from that
viewpoint.  Interesting.

In the case of this British column, I think
it is much better than the Canadian version.
It is , of course, superb and should be
posted to refrigerator doors throughout
America. Unfortunately I imagine most
of our countrymen have never read a
word of Mark Steyn.  Pity.

Can anyone give me a way, even by snailmail, to contact this man?!? He needs to know he has a fanclub! :-) I'd so much like to invite him here for a Q&A.

BTTT!!!!

For me, it's been a week of alternating tears and rage. I am now so angry I'm blind with it that the Democrats gladly risk our lives for their political hides. I will NEVER vote for another Democrat, not even if I like him/her.

Pretty much anywhere you looked you could find media folk interviewing media folk about how courageous network reporters reacted to the news that fateful morning Still, I for one never tire of seeing headscarved women in Midwestern towns giving interviews about how in the past year they can tell people are looking at them "differently".

Teachers at schools within sight of the World Trade Centre report that, as the towers burned, a lot of Muslim pupils were taking pictures: it seemed odd that so many of them happened to have brought their cameras to school on that particular day.

That wacky London imam has a point: it'll all be a lot easier once we're living under Islamic law. And, if his predictions are as remarkably accurate as some of those psychic New York schoolkids, we won't have long to wait.

This is true, the WTC attack now deals with how all the "important reporters' 'braveness,'" and how "hard" it was for them to report. Also, true, we must devote our attentions to how "brave" and how "hard" it is for those of Muslim descent to now live in American.

About the reporters and the Muslims' feelings of "mistreatment," I can only say: this is disgusting and appalling. Otherwise, my anger boils and leaves me speechless.

God bless the victims' families, the heros on Flight 93 who saved, possibly, the President, by sacrificing their lives. God bless those who remain at their FDNY battalions and comfort the widows/widowers of the murdered FDNY and NYPD who, because of these radical murdering Muslims, now have no husbands/wives to go home to and comfort them. The innermost depths of my soul weeps for them.
