T-Rock and forward,
Have either of you read
Why Do they Hate Us, and what was your view on it?
If we see a picture of Zero holding a copy of
Gates of Fire or
Starship Troopers is that a positive on the chance he learns something, or reason to think less of Stephen Pressfield or Heinlein?
Folks have passionate views on this Mosque, but is your criticism of Zakaria linked to this issue alone, since he is hard to pigeon hole as anything other than a shrewd reporter. I certainly don't agree with his or any reporters views completely, yet he has taken both sides of the aisle to task on a variety of issues.
If you recall,
He was initially a supporter of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, His 2001 piece
Why Do They Hate US, was a keen analysis of how to deal with the threat of Islam, He pulled no punches and basically blasted the Saudis and Arabs for the failings of the Islamic world. He tore Islamic violence nut Anjem Choudary a new one on his show, and ridiculed the Iranians on their election.
Folks often ask why don't Muslims denounce terror or speak up against tyranny, well what do you call his grilling of Choudary? Finally anyone who can tick James Carville off to the point of violent threats can't be all bad...
