In tumid prose, something called the Fjordman exposits that the success of Habermasian Christian socialism at diffusing Tolkenien fantasism throughout post-Roman France and England is responsible for Charles Martel's success in bringing Zoroastrianism to China, whereas et hoc ergo proctor zippitus hippitus bippitus boppitus boous, Muslims are all COMMIES! But there's really no point in reading beyond the first paragraph:
My post about the impact of Christianity on Western culture generated some interesting comments. Several readers stated that Christianity is flexible, unlike Islam, and that the United States, perhaps still the most devoutly Christian of Western nations, also has the most dynamic military forces. And it was the Americans who dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which hardly indicates that Christians have to be soft.The image of Jim Morrison screeching "Mother! I want to fuck you . . . whaaaaa-all night looo-onnng!" while flapping his cock at that crowd in Florida appears before me. Yes indeed. From the Sermon on the Mount to Johannite moral asceticism to the Manhattan Project, Christianity leads the way.
This project to lump the whole span of history from the pre-Charmlemagnian dark years in Europe right up to the present moment into one perpetual, Christological Gemeinschaft is nothing if not audacious. Fortunately for those of us in the mocking arts, audacity is no antidote to idiocy, and is often its attendent. This argument was written with the intent to sound learned, and the natural result is that it sounds like a crackpot's pamphlet. This way to the center of our hollow Earth, ladies and gentlemen. I hold no brief for Western Civ, which is largely predicated on making trouble for everyone else, but it deserves better defenders than these.

So, the Muslims are all Commies? I thought they were cannibals but I don't suppose one should kibbutz- Quibble. I mean quibble, of course.
That's kibbitz, you goy! this is a Kittubutz.
Hey, it turns out the Kibbutzim are socialists!
No capon priest was the Goodly Fere . . .
I do hope you were piling irony on mine while folding the grain like a well-tempered kiriha zukuri. I was indeed referring to some of our closest allies, and largest benefactors, being a little pink in the claw. :)
I still don't understand why I got the admittedly secular Ronco® Bris but not the bar mitzvah and the goodies that should have gone with it. Seems hardly fair.
I want Right of Return of my foreskin!!!
Thank you, thank you. Don't forget to tip your waitress. There is a two drink minimum tonight.
IOZ! How do you find these sites? Specially tuned antennae? What?
The question's not rhetorical. I really want to know.
Mocking arts...I like it
"I hold no brief for Western Civ"
You act as if you and your mocking arts aren't a part of it. It's a big tent Ioz.
What honest man loves his employer in private, graeme?
Is there any level upon which that blog isn't irredeemably ugly? Any at all? To echo Ellen1910, how the heck do find these mutant sites?
I stumbled upon that site before, back when I searched the intertubes for what passed for a right-wing blogosphere...shudder
I think it might be fairly popular among the group that considers Andrew Sullivan too left wing
The real historical gymnastics start when you take this very same hyper-reductionists view and conclude that the West is losing the war of civilizations and under dire threat of extinction.
