re: #237 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I never copied anything directly from Robert Spencer.

This morning Robert Spencer invaded the comment section over at Harry’s Place in order to show that he’s a self centered moron and attack the Council of Ex-Muslims - you know for noticing that he’s a creep who hangs out with Geller and stuff like that..

If you want to know what I really think of him, you can find me insulting him to his face in this thread.

What a horrible comment. The Ex Muslim forum publishes the best informed, most scathing attacks on Islam - better, of course, than yours because they come from closer knowledge.

And for you, the only important thing is that some of them notice your own clumsy hostility toward moderates, your paling around with paranoid far right bigots like Pamela Geller, the flashes of your own Catholic sectarianism and drew the obvious conclusion about you.

I’m sorry if being an ex-Muslim doesn’t predispose one to stroking the egos of clumsy morons like yourself, but that is hardly a stain on the forum.

In fact if you go through Spencer’s archives you can find him “debating” at least one moderate Muslim - and his main point was to attack the man as a fraud for presenting a view of Islam that was less hostile.

Spencer absolutely promotes the most horrible version of Islam and he absolutely isn’t bright enough to distinguish between warning of the dangers of Islam from promoting Islamism himself.

When he attacks moderates, saying that the worst version of Islam is the only real version then he is promoting Islamism among those who believe in Islam.

Look, it’s true that there’s a dirth of competent anti-jihad campaigners.

Spencer is guilty of being a bit too dim for this and also of, himself, promoting bigoted xenophobes like Pamela Geller.

I would say that Harry’s Place is the only place I know where the writers do a great job of exposing Islamist haters without falling over the edge themselves.

And yet, unfortunately for all their care, the below the line commenters here are mostly horrible.

I do want to welcome mettaculture back as our most thoughtful commenter though. My the rest of you get stuffed and go spend your time at Fox News or the EDL and leave us mettaculture to talk to.

Etc.
