You know, I will tell you the truth. The shocking clips… maybe I have been around too many liberals, but they are not very shocking. His anti-americanism is actually kind of tired and stale. It just strikes me as moronic conversion of the left and the islamofascist right, that speaks in quiet tones, but nonetheless is singing My Sharia More. But I thought I would do something different and fisk his stupid talk, as kindly provided by Pamela Geller. So here goes.
Now first there is a bunch of introductory crap. I half expected him to make a crappy opening joke. Okay. And early on he gives this bit:
The Jewish prophets, Jesus Christ and John the Baptist and Mary are in fact religious personalities and prophets of the Islamic faith as well. What divides us is less theology, to my mind, than history.
Yeah, what a bunch of smiley faced bullshit. You deny that Christ is the son of God, and that is okay, but don’t then pretend you and I have much in common in our faith. I don’t condescend to Jews that we share much of our faith, and neither should you.
And mind you, most of the world are “not Christians” and we get along just fine. Seriously, knock yourself out. But don’t bullshit me.
And isn’t that itself pretty exclusionary? What about Buddhists, where do they fit in that? The Taoists? The Atheists? The pagans of the DaVinci Code variety?
