Since I cited Andrew Sullivan in my last post, now I need to cry foul. Here he quotes a reader email as follows:
“I’m honestly starting to suspect that, before this is over, European nations are going to have exactly four choices in dealing with their entire Moslem populations — for elementary safety’s sake:
(1) Capitulate totally to them and become a Moslem continent.
(2) Intern all of them.
(3) Deport all of them
(4) Throw all of them into the sea.
This sounds a bit shrill even to me — but what the hell else can you do with several tens of millions of potential Branch Davidians?” […]
Sullivan prints this essentially without comment, citing it as evidence of “some very hard thinking on the left.” (He describes the above as a response from a “liberal reader.”)
Anyone who reads me knows I am disgusted by the anti-democratic Islamist shakedown that has swept the globe in the last week. But the above statement is entirely out of line. To quote the title of a recent essay collection edited by George Packer, The Fight Is For Democracy. I wouldn’t expect Andrew Sullivan to lose sight of that.
