People like Juergensm...Yeah, give it a few decades. People like Juergensmeyer and their Anarchist, Antifa fellow-travellers will be cheerfully throwing our Pagan brothers and sisters under the Sharia bus in Europe. We'll be accused of racism and 'Islamophobia' for pointing it out when the time comes...faster than you can say, "Aloha Snackbar!"<br /><br />Cue the Jewish lesbian Marxists urging on the destruction of Israel. Yes, Israel, the only place in the Middle East where LGBT people [and Pagans] can walk the streets in relative safety. <br /><br />By the Gods, it's like turkeys voting for American Thanksgiving.<br /><br />AetiusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-14310290374176417512014-10-07T23:20:47.174-04:002014-10-07T23:20:47.174-04:00Hi Aetius,
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately...Hi Aetius,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, the Left is well-trained in self-delusion. I say that as someone who still considers himself a leftist.<br /><br />Another major aspect of this current brouhaha is that know-nothing celebrities like Afflek and Maher are actually just as informed, or at least as informative, as "academics" like Aslan.<br /><br />And one side-effect of Aslan's rising star is that his old graduate school advisor, Mark Juergensmeyer, is now getting more attention - for example he was on NPR this afternoon more or less defending ISIS (or at least defending the phenomenon of widespread popular support among Sunnis for ISIS) as more or less just a "political" movement for protecting Sunni "rights" against Shia encroachments in Iraq and Syria. The guy is a real piece of work, and an excellent example of the worst case scenario of a Christian leftist "intellectual".
