…and so have missed a great deal and am still ridiculously behind in my correspondence. But I did want to offer a belated booyah to the American Catholic for taking note of–and properly savaging–Bruce Crumley’s craven, lickspittle, and cowardly “They had it coming” apologia in defense of the Bronze Age Savages who firebombed a French satire magazine for daring to make fun of their immature, brutal, bullying, cowardly religion.
In addition, Jamie Kirchick asks pointedly:
The original title of Crumley’s piece, still viewable in the website URL, was “Firebombed French Paper: A Victim of Islam, Or Its Own Obnoxious Islamaphobia?” If a reader, so offended by Crumley’s excuse-making for theocratic nutcases, bombs TIME’s Paris Bureau, would that make Crumley a “victim” of his own obnoxious cowardice?
The gutlessness of the MSM in the face of Islamic thugs is epic.
