Stuff below the fold

Last weekend's NYTime had a long article on religion and society LINK

However, the acid tongued Spengler of the Asian Times "fisks" the article HERE...

But Spengler notes the supreme Irony of the essay: by making Christianity the enemy, he goes on to praise Islamic political sharia

, Professor Ramadan personifies everything that Lilla hates, and Lilla knows it. But Ramadan has one redeeming virtue. He is not a Christian. Lilla does not love Reason; he simply hates Christianity with all his heart, and will make alliance with whichever of her enemies might be available.

Full rant on BNN...

And an article on the City Journal shows a similar distortion in intellectual circles, but in this article the enemy is the US...
