9-11 was an inside job, Al Queda are an arm of Mossad-CIA, 7-7 was an inside job. Once you realise this this absurd war against Islam (and religion generally) waged by smug liberals - who, not only don't know what they don't know, but haven't the faintest idea that they don't know it - can be seen for the simple divide-and-conquer strategy that it is.

Terry fucking Eagleton

Martin Amis's comments merely prove that intelligent, sensitive, caring men have had enough of pretence. We've had enough of not seeing an enemy under our noses. Enough of not identifying the filth in our country. Enough of pandering to moronic appeasers. Enough.

The words Amis used do appear harsh and unfair to the majority of Muslims who simply aren't terrorists, but at the same time, it must be noted that the Qu'ran, along with all other religious texts, contains a lot of man-hating vitriol, and there has been a tidal wave, of sorts, of fundamentalism which is akin to something out of the Middle Ages.

why not?

This may seem an infantile view, but it'w what I hold as the truth, and is that all three of the abrahamic religions are as bad as each other; Muslims in 9/11, Christians in Northern Ireland and Jews in Gaza. It's all terrorism and bullying, and as soon as religion can be dismissed as "an extraordinarily convincing mistake" as Philip Pullman put it, the sooner we can move on with our lives.

Islam does not deserve respect.

Terry Eagleton is an exceptionally smug and pugnacious charlatan. I've seen him give a lecture. A very bright and well read guy yet immensely conceited and very aggressive for some reason. If you want to attack Martin Amis, then do so but do it with some standards. Don't attack his passed away father. Anyway, regardless of his political views, Amis is a better writer than Eagleton period. Eagleton has such an ideologically driven criticism of literature that it is annoying.

The Catholic-Marxist Terry Eagleton simply quoted Amis out of context. Amis was describing one way of "raising the price" of terrorist action. What he suggested was merely an urge in favour of what would be a utilitarian policy. And he didn't advocate even that policy. Eagleton, ideological relict that he is, apparently wants to silence simple philosophical thought or speculation.
