Golden Boy: "...aligning yourself with Muslims in order to score points against the AEI puts in the company of the worst people in the world."
Man, there's a statement. Every time I think that I might be overestimating the hatred of Muslims in America today, someone comes along and reassures me.
In any case, I entirely support Hirsi Ali's right to shill for anyone she wants to, free from harassment: a person has to make a living. The developing market for attractive female apostates from Islam, willing to tell conservatives what they want to hear about that religion, will no doubt gainfully employ some folks: maybe AEI will hire Irshad Manji, too. All of this makes it easier to justify harassing Muslims in both North America and Europe, andto kill them in the MIddle East but what the hey? They're the worst people in the world, right?
The rest of your letter consisted largely of a list of awards culled from the Wikipedia site, and insinuations that the deaths of von Gogh and Fortuyn were part of a wider Islamic terrorist conspiracy. Not much to work with, there.
