    It cuts both ways....

    It cuts both ways. I personally find the degree of concordance between the values of our own dear right wing and the so-called islamofascists odd and disturbing.

    I think it's more than a little disingenuous when those who stand in the way of these enlightenment values at home are so frothy about defending them abroad.

    For me, the author makes the wrong point.
