re: #717 Dark_Falcon

In so say, he’s not approving of the neo-fascists of the Vlaams Belaag and others, he’s saying that given the situation violence by such groups is highly likely to happen. I think that the totality of America Alone makes it clear that Mark Steyn would very much like to avoid violence and clearly does not like it in any way. However, he does believe that the situation in Europe has made large scale violence likely.

It’s primarily the flippancy, combined with the fact that he appears to not know very much about the Balkan conflict, and to have simply decided to make it a Muslim/European conflict, despite the plethora of other factors, and the issue that the Muslims in question were Europeans.

So basically, he comes up with a bullshit explanation for a complex conflict that does not actually parallel anything else in Europe, and hypothetically suggests that we may be facing genocide down the road in the rest of Europe. “Cull ‘em?” I’d be a little more somber in his shoes.

I have the book on list to read, but none of the quotes popping up here are making me feel as though this is a man I’d trust to explain much of anything to me.
