From Rod Dreher at Crunchy Con: The despicable New York Times (About the Pope's Remarks)
What, not the least concern over the disturbing fact that Muslim mobs around the world have taken to the streets in full-throated protest against the mere words of the Pope in a long, scholarly lecture spent mostly castigating the West? If Muslims overreact to the least little thing that offends their sense of religious dignity, that's fine with the Times, because it's the fault of anyone in the West who dares to criticize them? If Christians reacted in the same way to the constant insults and degradations of our religion in this culture, the Times would go nuclear, and shriek about the dark night of theofascism threatening to descend upon us, silencing free speech &c. But when actual theofascism shows itself among Muslims, then the Times seems to think it's the fault of those who have the nerve to exercise their right to free speech.
Well said!
