Root Causes

Steven Taylor points us to a Dennis Prager column arguing that, “Islamic terror is caused by Muslims, not, as Islamic and leftist apologists would have it, by the non-Muslims against whom it is directed.” Sounds plausible, certainly.

    Sounds intuitive to me. What next? a The sky is blue post? 😉

    Actually an interesting column. Its a shame if anyone would actually have to have this pointed out to them.

    What’s worse is that those who need it pointed out to them refuse to believe it . In their eagerness to “understand” the enemies of their own civilization they have, indeed, gone over to the other side.

    Yes! Furthermore, every known terrorist has had a mother at some point. Clearly, motherhood is an important contributing factor to the causes of terrorism. Those who deny the dangerousness of mothers are just hiding their heads in the sand.

    You are absolutely right Mithras, and we should kill every last one of those terrorist mothers….
