Know Thy Enemy

I was pondering some of the facts of the Ft. Hood shooting this week as I perusing blogs this morning.  I don’t really have much to say about it, especially when Francis W. Porretto at Eternity Road nailed one out of the park on it.  An exerpt:

In case you’ve spent the last thirty years in a coma, the world has been having a spot of trouble with the totalitarian pseudo-religion called Islam. Some of its adherents think they have a divine warrant to convert, subjugate, or kill anyone who’s not a Muslim. Others among them, while not willing to pick up a gun or strap on a suicide vest, willingly support the violent ones with money and shelter. The rest will brook no criticism of Islam as the source of such violence — indeed, they’ll argue that a mere verbal insult constitutes sufficient justification for Muslims’ acts of savagery against us “infidels.”

A worthy read.
