The Pageless Book

I’ve learned, just last night, that this week is Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. I hardly have had any time to digest this tidbit of information and already the synapses in my brain are organizing in protest. Why didn’t someone tell me? Had I known, I might have written a series of articles on this subject all this week.

To what shall I compare this pig-headed grab for attention? That is all it boils down to - a grab for attention. It isn’t even a well thought out grab for attention. Somewhere between “Islamo” and “Fascism”, they are also debunking global warming. Michael Crichton already wrote that work of fiction; we really don’t need to improve on it by adding Muslims!

Damn! Just damn! Is there anything else I can say about this? Is there anything positive about something so blatantly racist and religiously intolerant? Perhaps there is something to be said about intolerance of intolerance, but right now I can’t quite grasp what.

No, I know what needs to be said about this issue - nothing. The best way to combat this obvious cry for attention is just to ignore it. I am, of course, painfully aware of the irony in saying this and then posting this entry to my blog. This situation does make me question how I should respond to religious intolerance.

I want to know what you think. Let me know your idea of how best to spread religious tolerance. How should people who support religious tolerance oppose intolerance? I look forward to reading your comments.
