Salut, Kai why do you think the guy to be a "coward"? i don't know many people > who, > these days, would dare to say in public that they consider islam to be > "the most > stupid religion of all which could have been invented only by fellows > hanging > around in the desert with nothing better to do than to fuck their > camels". I said he's a coward because saying such things as you're quoting is choosing rather easy (and stupid) thinking than trying to think why islamic extremism has been a (political? economical? military?) choice for so many people in the world. Of course it's fast way to be in every newspaper the next day. But when Italian Prime Minister said that maybe occidental civilization (!) was better than the islamic one, t'was a general Poooh ! against this Berluscolini. In France the one-eyed pork (J-M LP) held the same speeches because it's violent and sounds like brave and free. It's the freedom of blindness and dumbness. But it's only saying loud what many people are ashamed of thinking silently. And first of all, it's made in order to fanatize (does this word exist?) people who listen to those speeches and believe they are once in all their life told the truth. But it's anything but truth. If they believe it is and see everybody around frightened of them, or contemptuous against them, they feel brave and all go, vote and try to make a president out of this one-eyed pork. I don't say you're a nazi. But thinking Hbecq's thoughts are brave is an error, a very serious error, I fear. Viele liebe grüsse. Clément
