Weekend at Bennie's
The propped-up corpse that Catholics revere as a "pope" is being hauled around the Middle East this week. The corpse is pleading with Arabs for "religious tolerance."
Well now. Who's intolerant? The Coptic counter-revolutionary who insulted an entire religion with the specific intent of bringing down the new government of Egypt? Or the Muslims who are protesting against the Coptic insult?
Just in case the point is not clear: The moviemaker is INTOLERANT of Muslims. Muslims are not angry because they are INTOLERANT of Copts; they are angry because this one Copt is INTOLERANT of Muslims.Hmmm. Isn't that pretty much the standard lefty line? "I'm only intolerant of intolerance." It's a silly line, but it's exactly where these Muslim protesters are coming from. Seems like Bennie, who is pretty much a hippie type, is taking the wrong side. He should be speaking to the Copt bigot who started the fight, not to the Muslims who are defending themselves against bigotry.
The latter are missing their target to some extent ... this Coptic creature is not exactly the US government ... but I strongly suspect he's been helped by parts of the US and/or Israeli governments.
