Yesterday, we had Dr. James Watson's unfortunate commentary concerning the intelligence factor of Blacks. That will get him shunned and possibly disgraced by the scientific community and, if the Politically Correct Society of Great Britain gets really worked up, some civil action as well (there is no protected free speech over on the Island, or the Continent for that matter.)
Now, we have Martin Amis, British author and son of Sir Kingsley Amis, making comments that may well relieve him of his head...
A response to a days-earlier quote at a festival'I feel morally superior to Islamists, by some distance. I feel an intellectual distance to Islam.
'There are great problems with Islam. The Koran recommends the beating of women.
'The anti-Semites, the psychotic misogynists and the homophobes are the Islamists.'
'Some societies are just more evolved than others,' he said. 'I am not saying these people are genetically incapable of not being terrorists.
'These societies are arming themselves with weapons like the AK47 and blowing people up on buses and Tubes.'
When one member of his audience suggested not all Muslims were terrorists he retorted: 'No one else is doing it.
'Here in the West we have the most evolved society in the world and we are not blowing people up.
'I am just saying some societies are more evolved than others. Young men in those kinds of societies are growing up full of loathing and hatred. Something has to be done about it.'
There's a problem with Islam. For some reason, it's simple for a frothing Imam or Ayatollah to attract young jihadists to explode themselves in the name of Allah.
As a religion, Islam was written by a warrior to attract more warriors to his cause. There’s something just not right about how easily some few men can warp even such a broken tool as the Koran to do some of the things that happen in the name of Allah.
But to say that the 1.5 billion Muslims are all terrorists is a bit much.
A nice reform of Islam, removing the elements that attract frothing hate-filled Imams and Ayatollahs and allowing them to attract young men to decidedly unholy causes, is long overdue. Remember, all non-Islamic peoples are written up as infidels. Until that is overwritten (or overlooked), any non-Mohammedan is subject to whatever can be dreamed up in a fascist’s mind, and then programmed into his young army of willing jihadists.
Not all Muslim states and populations are so easily overwhelmed by the attractors to Jihad.
We only have to look to the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, and see a teeming well-to-do Muslim population that's not much interested in virgins in the afterlife. Some nice zip codes, there, it seems...
See what a little capitalism can do for a society? And you wonder why we're still fighting to secure Iraq for their citizen's future?
