"A cult of death is forming in the Muslim world — for reasons that are perfectly explicable in terms of the Islamic doctrines of martyrdom and jihad. The truth is that we are not fighting a "war on terror." We are fighting a pestilential theology and a longing for paradise.- Sam Harris, a leftist atheist and author of the book "The End of Faith," in the Los Angeles Times. An excellent piece, although my only quibble is that he says "liberals" when what he really means is "far leftists." Almost everyone I know who calls himself "liberal" knows exactly what's going on in regards to the Islamists. Posted by Stephen Silver at September 20, 2006 12:37 AMThis is not to say that we are at war with all Muslims. But we are absolutely at war with those who believe that death in defense of the faith is the highest possible good, that cartoonists should be killed for caricaturing the prophet and that any Muslim who loses his faith should be butchered for apostasy...
There are books, films and conferences organized around this [9/11 conspiracy] phantasmagoria, and they offer an unusually clear view of the debilitating dogma that lurks at the heart of liberalism: Western power is utterly malevolent, while the powerless people of the Earth can be counted on to embrace reason and tolerance, if only given sufficient economic opportunities.
I don't know how many more engineers and architects need to blow themselves up, fly planes into buildings or saw the heads off of journalists before this fantasy will dissipate."
"Almost everyone I know who calls himself "liberal" knows exactly what's going on in regards to the Islamists."
Yeah, and Pauline Kael didn't know anyone who voted for Reagan either.
