Well, that didn’t take long. On Tuesday, I wrote: “So now, because of the attack on Salman Rushdie, Dreher has at least temporarily abandoned his naive kumbaya irenicism and is acknowledging again that there is a jihad threat.” On Thursday, The American Conservative, where Dreher doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus, published this […]

Rushdie stabber says Rushdie is ‘someone who attacked Islam,’ complains prison food ‘not allowed in my religion’

By

Everyone is suddenly an advocate for the freedom of speech after the Rushdie attack, but actually what Nasser Kanaani says here is exactly what the Western media says whenever people in the West are attacked for speaking honestly about the jihad and Sharia: he had it coming, he needlessly provoked the poor dears. “‘Rushdie insulted […]
