Andrew Hagen

I have linked to Little Green Footballs (*) again. Earlier, I deleted a link from andrewhagen.com to that excellent product of Charles Johnson on the grounds that the petite emerald pigskin encouraged an irrational antipathy for a religion and culture that is anything but a monolith. (†)

I now withdraw that criticism. After reading more of LGF over the past few months, it is abundantly clear that a distinction is drawn there between the dangerous and non-dangerous branches of the faith founded by Mohammed. LGF should be read and grappled with by everyone, especially because of its ability to play corrective antidote to the deep tolerance, compassionate understanding, and warm sympathy that underlie much of the world’s media coverage of that most dangerous branch of Islam, even of the very offshoots who may properly be called terrorists. To the extent that hate is an issue in the debate today, it is worrying only that those with so few compunctions and so little concern over human life harbor hate for all who stand against radical Islam.

Apologies to all concerned.
