I’m impressed.

When one writes an essay exploring personal connections, it can come off as he said / she said, or paranoid fear mongering. (Bat Yeor’s “Eurabia” is an example in the genre.) Maybe the connections exist. But do they explain anything?

In the case of Trifkovic, I’m now convinced that his associations and past have run him out of mainstream punditry. Spencer has been acting as Trifkovic’s CAIR for many years now. Those of us who’ve liked certain of Spencer’s books (esp. “The Truth About Muhammad”) have been hoping that he would move away from these demagogues. But it’s now clear that he won’t, because he’s one of them.

Kedja has improved her writing style as well. I know that sounds backhanded; but she’s gotten wordy when she got angry (she’s young), and that’s been a problem for her readers. This time she’s let her evidence speak for itself.
