Islam and what to do about it

Skippy's excellent post on Islam reminds me of this post and exchange from last year, over at Malcolm's blog.

(And now... back to work.)

It's worth noting that Skippy's speaking as a (Canadian) conservative. The extent to which he's borrowing from the liberal playbook is unclear. He had a recent post responding to complaints that, for a conservative, he seems awfully down on fellow conservatives. Not so, replies Skippy: he's down on Republicans, not actual conservatives. See here. That link might provide some perspective on where he's coming from... or you may come away thinking that he's a closet liberal who simply doesn't want to admit his liberalism-- sort of a reverse of the dude at I Want a New Left-- a self-professed leftie whose values, as laid out on his blog, seem to dovetail almost completely with classical conservatism.; September 11, 2010 at 7:51:00 AM GMT+9

WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.

Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter.

BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
