First rate!
One of the reasons I’m not too upset over the lack of time to write on my blog is the sound and level-headed reasoning found here.

Great article - wonderfully put and thanks for the reference to "Muhammadism". I agree with you that we should fear the islamophobes as much as the anti-Semites. As a veteran anti-anti-Semite, I am glad to join the ranks of the islamophobophobes .

Mr. Derbyshire's pusillanimity in the face of the Muslim menace lost its shock value long since. And this latest eructation of his challenges neither thought nor opinion of aware persons.
However, one may engage the imagination, contemplating his thrill of discovery and grinning self-congratulation at his invention of "Islamophobophobia."
Pathetic.

I do not think I have ever read a more accurate and succinct
elucidation of the moral and cultural problem with Islam.

"As an ideology, Islam promises an economic, political, social, and religious utopia when the world finally submits to Allah and the rule of Shari'a law. The Islamic objective is to have all aspects of a nation's culture and institutions undergo gradual Islamization to yield an Islamic state patterned after Shari'a Law."
It gets even worse than this description: Islam is also intensely and fanatically and literalistically eschatological. And so, the world conquest that is in their blueprint is an imperative not only for imperialistic expansionism, but also in order to usher in the Last Days, the Judgement, and the subsequent finalization of Creation in the disposition of all Unbelievers in Hell and all Believers in Paradise for eternity.
While of course this particularly dynamic is not monolithically pursued and obsessed about, it is, due to the far higher degree of fanaticism and literalism in Islamic culture, of great additional danger as an added impetus to their already deranged lust for domination -- astronomically worse than the dangers of apocalypticism among certain "fundamentalist" Christians which many atheists and liberals spend undue time and energy worrying about.
