Steyn is brilliant -- the best columnist writing in what is left of the Western world -- and your comments are not quite meaningful enough even to be scraped off his shoe. It is fine to ignore reality, although reality will not forever ignore you. Sooner or later, reality must be faced. Unfortunately, we are going through a period in which it is fashionable to avoid reality. My advice to you is to visit Europe (while it is still there). Steyn is being proved right in his comments by the reality of creeping Sharia in our own society. We like to act as though it does not matter, and all we have to do is mollify Muslims, like any other interest group. Have you read "The Looming Tower"? Have you read Stayn's "America Along"? Have you real Raymond Ibrahim's "The Al Queda Raader"? Do you known of the doctrine of loyalty and enmity in Islam? Can you explain these facts away? Steyn does not, and he even finds humor in them.JFMcNULTY`https://www.blogger.com/profile/00431720230106076809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-34394683179758258842007-10-31T16:59:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:59:00.000-04:00Steyn is a bright guy . . . ever read any of his s...<I>Steyn is a bright guy . . . ever read any of his stuff???</I><BR/><BR/>By the time I'd actually heard of Mark Steyn (sometime around 2002, I believe), the media was chock-a-block with dissections of his irrational rants, such as <A HREF="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/blogs/wolcott/2006/11/even_in_the_thu.html" REL="nofollow">this one:</A><BR/><BR/><I>In his latest all-thumbs fingerpainting of the Decline of the West, Steyn scrambles a grandma suicide bomber, the presiding bishop of the Episocopal Church, Condoleeza Rice, and the overrunneth cups of Scarlett Johansson into a free-floating indictment of Womankind for being (in order of appearance) fervent-delusional, cluelessly naive, vaguely empathetic, and promiscuously ditzy, the various aspects of female dottiness somehow responsible for the Muslim population bomb that threatens civilization's existence. Where the grandma raised a mighty brood before she blew herself up, Western women are futzing and fucking around, refusing to reproduce at a rate that will give Muslims a run for their money. It irks Steyn that a healthy young bunny such as Johannson isn't popping out babies like Pillsbury muffins, but instead is practicing safe sex with a extraordinarily high level of caution, getting herself HIV-tested twice a year. Steyn harrumphs, like some 87 year old columnist from the London Spectator dribbling sherry down his vest:</I><BR/><BR/>Much more entertaining than reading whatever Steyn has managed to queef out.
