re: #242 Right Brain

Mr. Griffin certainly has not made himself very attractive by his past actions, that noted, I don’t see that his comments regarding Islam vary substantially from those made by Christopher Hitchens, Mark Steyn (whose tract American Alone is a broadside against Islam taking over the West), Pim Fortuyn, or Winston Churchill for that matter, who once stated that Islam in a man is as dangerous as rabies in a dog (a text I learned about on this web-site).

I am friendly with a perfectly lovely Muslim family who have lived in my neighborhood for six years. Sometimes I wonder what some of these outspoken critics of an entire religion would do with their four beautiful little girls, who don’t avoid me because I’m a Christian, and who squeal with delight when they’re outside riding their tricycles and see me walking my dogs.

I like Mark Steyn and I understand his point in America Alone, but I wish people would use just a touch more nuance when identifying the problem.
