So there’s this Karen Armstrong person who is a superficial (and therefore, of course, bestselling) writer about religion. Still, I was surprised when I read this:

We’re piling all the violence of the 21st Century on the back of religion, sending it away, saying we have nothing to do with religion. While we still have to deal with the political situation. The supermarket attack in Paris was about Palestine, about Isis. It had nothing to do with antisemitism; many of them are Semites themselves. But they attempt to conquer Palestine and we’re not talking about that.

Sheesh.
