The leftists offered a rationale similar to that offered by Garry Trudeau: To attack Muslims would be (and explain to me why this is not itself "racist") "punching down," which the Superior White Race ought not do."A hideous crime was committed," novelist Peter Carey generously concedes, "but was it a freedom-of-speech issue for PEN America to be self-righteous about?" ...Free Speech means attacking my enemies -- and only my enemies. Everything else is "hate speech." Well, Salman Rushdie, who of course has been under death threats from Islamists since the 80s, has a hot take of his own. Replying that the award would go on without Carey and the others, Rushdie responded in uncompromising language: "The award will be given. PEN is holding firm. Just 6 pussies. Six Authors in Search of a bit of Character". The Daily Telegraph reports the further comments of Rushdie, who responded to the suggestion that France somehow had it coming, remarking: "This issue has nothing to do with an oppressed and disadvantaged minority. "It has everything to do with the battle against fanatical Islam, which is highly organised, well-funded, and which seeks to terrify us all, Muslims as well as non-Muslims, into a cowed silence. "These six writers have made themselves the fellow travellers of that project. Very, very bad move".True, true. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

As a devout Catholic, this dumb scrunt can go fcuk herself sideways with a Rusty chainsaw.

He wasn't buying it. His great-grandfather had been a Methodist missionary in Africa, but as far as this left-wing dude was concerned, the British Empire was one step up from the Nazis. We are well aware of how the leftists here view American history, the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, etc. But that hostility almost pales next to the hatred lefty Brits feel toward the British Empire. And of all both hatreds are basically a subset of the larger hatred of all of Western Civilization, especially its' primary religion. Posted by: Donna &&&&&& V.

All this is true, but incomplete. Rushdie's autobiography, "Joseph Anton", admits this; but then goes on to say Rushdie recognised it as a huge mistake. Because he realised that there was no way he was going to be able to reason with the Islamic Republic and with various copycat imams. Remember, everyone was in uncharted waters at the time. Before all that, Muslim leaders understood that infidels in infidel land were going to infidel. It wasn't the same as a local apostate or uppity dhimmi.

What Mo did, or those who created the fiction of Mo, was to enshrine the warrior ways of the nomadic Bedouin, trappings stolen from Judaism and an early branch of Christianity, and the name of an obscure lunar deity to create a tyranny. And in the ultimate case of Double Speak, named it Islam while preaching how liberating it all is.

"The type of surgery Freddie Grey had required several weeks of rest. For all we know he did it to himself. And it explains why the spinal column was cut. it had not had time to heal and fuse after surgery"
Jumping to conclusions is the new national sport particularly when it justifies what the mob wants to do anyway. Since Duke LaCrosse, Trayvon and Ferguson I assume the opposite will turn out to be the case simply because of the feeding frenzy. The mobs have to get moving before facts come to light.

And in the ultimate case of Double Speak, named it Islam while preaching how liberating it all is.
Patricia Crone and Michael Cook related it instead to the Syriac Christian formula, ashlem nafsheh li-mareh. That meant "submission of self to the Lord" and was usually used in the context of martyrdom. It goes well with subsequent research, like Fred Donner's, which has the Believers as a sort of semi-Christian order of militant monks; and like Christoph Luxenberg, which has the Qur'an as being written by bilingual Syrian Arabs. *passes the bowl of raisins* Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at April 28, 2015 07:18 PM (AVEe1) 120

his calling them pussies is exactly what made me think that this statement was completely classless. Rushdie was a complete pussy in response to his fatwa not to mention that during his time in hiding he found time to divorce his wife, offer repeated apologies for Satanic Verses, and make a production about returning to his Islamic roots. Every body slips up, but the consequence of slipping up and bring cowardly is you don't get to call other people pussies.

IllTemperedCur, #72:
"Fitting, since the asshole who wrote The English Patient is on the list." *Spoiler Alert* I love the part toward the end, when the Indian Army officer is about ready to murder his white British Commonwealth compatriots over the news of the bombing of Hiroshima, and after he calms down the Canadian-Italian is hanging his head in shame because he knows Kip is right, that They would never have used this barbarous weapon against a white nation. Which tells me enough about Ondaatje's view of the world. Look, I know there aren't a lot of FDR fans here, but I think FDR would gladly have used the bomb on Nazi Germany had it become available in time. I think Truman would have used it on them if they'd still been fighting in August 1945. I know that Paul Tibbets' group was training to bomb Germany, it just didn't work out that way.

India is somewhat different. They had/have a civilisation spanning a couple thousand years. Longer if you count the Vedas and Harrappa (which you probably shouldn't).
We've had Indian visitors here who've vehemently insisted that the Brits should have butted out excepting for trade and cultural contacts. There was one in particular who pretty much kicked my ass on this topic (pro tip: don't argue Indian history with an Indian if all your knowledge comes from a couple of Flashman books). One thing the Brits did do (besides the introduction of English common law, roads, law, and the aqueduct) was keep the Russkies out. On that much Flashman got it pretty much right.

A few facts, re the Mayor of Baltimore:
COUNCIL TO MAYOR Rawlings-Blake, a Baltimore native, became the youngest person ever elected to the Baltimore City Council, at the age of 25 in 1995. She went on to serve as City Council president from January 2007 to February 2010. When then-mayor Sheila Dixon resigned after being convicted of embezzlement, Rawlings-Blake automatically became mayor in 2010. She successfully won a full term of her own in 2011 with 87% of the vote. BEYOND BALTIMORE Rawlings-Blake has a budding national profile, as secretary of the Democratic National Committee and vice president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. She is considering a run for the U.S. Senate to succeed retiring Democrat Barbara Mikulski, saying it is important for Baltimore to have continued political strength. Rawlings-Blake has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for Maryland governor in 2018. OUTSPOKEN The mayor has taken heat for comments she made over the weekend about the “balancing act” facing Baltimore officials and for saying they gave “those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.” Rawlings-Blake has said her critics have mischaracterized her words. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told CNN the mayor has “done a terrific job” amid the riots and violence. AFTER FERGUSON Rawlings-Blake served on a panel of mayors and law enforcement officials convened by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in the wake of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. The group issued a report on ways to strengthen ties between the police and local communities . EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER Rawlings-Blake has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Oberlin College and earned her law degree from the University of Maryland. She was an attorney for the Baltimore public defender’s office from 1998 to 2006. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at April 28, 2015 08:56 PM (F2IAQ) 301

It is rather simple. Leftists are child-era reasoning who have sophomoric power fantasies and who resent their perceived and real parents. Thus, they idolize all that promise violence in action (as a form of voyeurism) and which rejects or kills "grownups" like Christians and Jews.
They love Muslims because the get the glee of watching murder of people they've convinced themselves are sub-human and who personify adulthood.

Nip Sip, are you being snarky or do you not know? Not a problem, most people don't know that dark history.
Heart of Darkness is staged in the Congo and is based on actual events also Per King Leopold's Ghost, the peak production times for Belgian Congo rubber coincided with the demand for the importation of rifle ammunition. The natives in the villages would be shot if they did not produce sufficient quotas of latex. Also it was a cost saving device for the local "managers" to not provide resupply of ammunition to the collection teams unless the collection teams could show severed hands to justify the ammunition use. And further, Roger Casement, who was later hanged for treason for his action during the Irish uprising, was sent to the Congo to document what was going on in the 1880s. He wrote a report on it. Anyhow, the Belgians were not good colonial masters by any means. Posted by: Kindltot at April 28, 2015 09:19 PM (t//F+) 361

The Belgian Congo represents the absolute worst of colonialism. There's no way a humane person can defend what the Belgians did there.
However, it doesn't represent all of European colonialism, which is a phenomenon that spanned hundreds of years and varied greatly from country to country and era to era. The Europeans certainly exploited the peoples they ruled, but they also brought technological, legal and material advances. Ironically, one of the biggest reasons the sun finally set on the British Empire was because of demographics. In the 19th century, Britain sent its surplus population around the globe. They built hospitals and improved living conditions in the colonies - and the indigenous peoples began to outbreed the Europeans, until it was no longer feasible to rule them.

The fate of the British Empire was largely brought about by US Democrats. The only reason it faded was in response to the rising power of the US.
Also note that the whole notion of 'minorities' is a US invention, and still seems to be measured by a group's relative power WITHIN THE US. Posted by: bruce at April 28, 2015 11:42 PM (lMDfm) 383
