Should we be concerned about alliances between some American politicos and hypernationalist, xeniphobic European groups? How about the general tenor of the rhetoric about Sharia and Islam being deployed in some corners of mainstream American politics? From me @ OTB: Cross-Atlantic Islamophobia. By Steven L. Taylor
In a post the other day I referred to the logic behind various acts of anti-Islamism as “scapegoating” which led to some criticism from blogger Stacy McCain. My response is at OTB: Yes, Blaming one Group of Muslims for the Actions of Others is, by Definition, Scapegoating. By Steven L. Taylor
Some people seem to think that the best guide for US principles is Saudi Arabia. This strikes me as odd. And hence, from me @OTB: The Problem with Andy McCarthy’s Thought Experiment By Steven L. Taylor

From me @OTB: Polling on Cordoba House By Steven L. Taylor
A major part of the problem with the seemingly growing wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in some quarters of US politics is that it seems to equate Islam as “the enemy.” If that’s the case, then US foreign policy has some ‘splainin’ to do. From me @OTB: A Simple Question in re: Islam and US Politics. By Steven L. Taylor
If it was called the “Burlington Coat Factory community center” would anyone care about Cordoba House? From me @OTB: Cordoba House and the Power of Political Marketing By Steven L. Taylor

Speaking of Tim James (well, kinda), an e-mailer points to the following from yesterday: Poll shows Byrne and James in dead heat for GOP nomination as Alabama governor.
It is an interesting side note that Moore, despite all of his fame and notoriety, has never been able to do all that well in gubernatorial primaries, even with as open a field as I have seen in my 12ish years living in Alabama. Of course, I think that it ultimately underscores that he is a one-trick pony, which boils down the following quote:
Source: Campaign 2010: Roy Moore bases campaign for Alabama governor on years of defending faith. As I have noted before, the notion that I, as church-attending citizen, need the government to concern itself with acknowledging God annoys me. |
