Thanks for the comment, Rhesus.
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.
As to your points, which I didn't respond to: I'll have to respond later. I'm taking short breaks away from my ETS tutorial/certification procedure.
Skippy's post reminds me of why I always distinguish between Islam and Islamism.
