[...] Despite my previous comments, by which I still stand, perhaps it’s small wonder that Muslims felt/feel victimised by cartoons of Mohammed, the veil debate and the Pope’s remarks when we live in world so shy of not only causing offence but also simple debate. [...]

Yeah, she’s something of a milf.

Would you still do Madeline Bunting though, even if you do think she’s a moron.

When I heard the news about the Pope I just rolled my eyes and thought here we go again. QED, innit?

That’d be interesting Matt, yeah. There’s been some absolute tripe about the whole business on CIF. Specifically, this by Madeleine Bunting, in which she actually says it’s the Pope’s fault that that Somali nun got shot; and this from Karen Armstrong - “We cannot afford to maintain these ancient prejudices against Islam”, ie “don’t offend the muslims or they’ll gitcha”.

Frank Fisher’s comment (”did he pull the fucking trigger?”) was deleted from the former, and one of mine from the latter. I was quite harsh: I called her a moron for writing “…the Danish cartoonists, who published the offensive caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad last February…” when they were first published in September - if she can’t even get that right there’s very little reason to take her seriously.

Edd’s been indulging in some interesting discourse on Islam dot com. With his permission I’ll find the threads and link to them here in another comment at some point–illuminative, really.

It’s just upsetting that everyone’s so insecure about everything.
