Bill Moyers continues his descent into raving incoherence
An even longer version of his recent column in which he claims "fundamentalist" Christians don't give a rat's ass about the environment. The mere thought of a religious person must send him into convulsions. The contempt bleeds off the screen when you read his screed. Though there is something new in this piece: Here are some direct quotes: "Islam is an intolerant religion—and it's clear whose side we should be on in the Middle East." Applause greeted these words: "Allah and Jehovah are not the same God.... Islam is a Satanic religion.... They're going to attack Israel for certain...." Gary Frazier shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wake Up! Wake Up!" And roughly eight hundred heads (at $25.00 per) nodded approval as he added that the left-wing, anti-Israel media—"for example, CNN"—will never tell the world the truth about Islam. According to these three, and the millions of Americans they lead, Muslims intend ultimately "to impose their religion on us all." Um, Bill? Many of them do want to impse their religion on us all. Those are the fundamentalists you should be afraid of. He wrote this piece for his fellow choir members you read the NYReview of Books. If you enjoy handwringing and hatred, the article is worth a read. Posted by: growler 2005-03-08 |
