Steyn: Islam has global ambitions

Rippin: "Islam is being seen as this entity which drives all aspects of Muslim life... that this is the primal instinct... this kind of identity of Islam with global ambition... is based on a false understanding of the Muslim doctrine"

"if one looks at analysis of what is popularly called Islamophobia... Islam is presented as an unchanging, single entity, which is characterized as that "other", characterized as barbarism, sexism, etc."

It's an interesting point of view. But it's a point of view. And it's a pretty political point of view, not so much a theological point of view.

But, again -- it's all irrelevant under the law. The law isn't about journalism, or academia. It's about censorship.
