re: #92 Killgore Trout

On the topic of Old LGF vs New LGF: Personally my views haven’t changed all that much. Not all of the OLD LGF threads hold up to scrutiny however I still remain critical of religiously sanctioned violence, terrorism, honor killings and backwards practices such as world wide riots and killings over cartoons. I think it’s a serious oversight that modern Western liberals tend to overlook or whitewash the problems. The Muslim world has many problems, many/most are self inflicted problems with deep rooted religious and cultural causes.

I’m as opposed to religious extremism of all kinds as I’ve ever been. But the problem today is that criticism of Islam has been completely dominated by the loudest, most irrational bigots, and I want absolutely nothing to do with them. In fact, I think it’s as important to debunk the garbage they’re spewing as it is to criticize any religion.
