Hooboy, lots of folks agree. For example, from a reader:
Jonah, I wholeheartedly agree with you that the Muslim “street” protests too much. My question is this… where is this supposed “Religion of Peace” we keep hearing about?? From today’s MSNBC there is a story about the brouhaha and on Page two we get this deliciously ironic quote from Turkey’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman [emphasis mine]; “Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
I mean the guy is denouncing the supposedly “false” assumption that Islam is intolerant and in the very sentence (that he’s decrying this “slander” )he tacitly admits that the criticism is true.
You cannot make stuff like this up.
