I've always respected Camille. Hell, most of the time when I've heard an opinion she has that I disagree with my only reason is "ahhh, tough shit" What's she been up to lately? Haven't seen her on tv in years, mostly because I don't watch it. Anyone? http://www.weeklystandard.com/camil...genderism-and-islamist-terror/article/2008464
Well she does go on. Then she rang the bell! Especially the second P. I highlited; " The reluctance or inability of Western liberals to candidly confront jihadism has been catastrophically counterproductive insofar as it has inspired an ongoing upsurge in right-wing politics in Europe and the United States. Citizens have an absolute right to demand basic security from their government. The contortions to which so many liberals resort to avoid connecting bombings, massacres, persecutions, and cultural vandalism to Islamic jihadism is remarkable, given their usual animosity to religion, above all Christianity. Some commentators have suggested a link to racial preconceptions: that is, Islam remains beyond criticism because it is largely a religion of non-whites whose two holy cities occupy territory once oppressed by Western imperialism. For a quarter century, I have been calling for comparative religion to be made the core curriculum of higher education. (I am speaking as an atheist.) Knowledge of the great world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Judeo-Christianity, Islam—is the true multiculturalism. Everyone should have a general familiarity with the beliefs, texts, rituals, art, and shrines of all the major religions. Only via a direct encounter with the Qu'ran and Hadith, for example, can anyone know what they say about jihad and how those strikingly numerous passages have been interpreted in different ways over time. Right now, too many secular Western liberals treat Islam with paternalistic condescension—waving at it vaguely from a benevolent distance but making no effort to engage with its intricate mixed messages, which can inspire toward good or spur acts of devastating impact on the international stage."
I've never in my life assumed she said she believes something just because her team believes it. That's rare these days.
Yes, she sound like a Democrat of 50 years ago. She seems to feel, but she also seems to hear logic. Still a Democrat though, Pam Harris?
