Demonization Alert

Bruce Bawer on the bizarre demonization warnings:

Meanwhile "London Mayor Ken Livingstone called on Britons Saturday not to demonize Muslims...." Who's demonizing Muslims? In the West nowadays, it's those who talk frankly about the facts of Islam and jihad who are routinely demonized. When somebody like Livingstone "calls on" the public not to "demonize" Muslims after incidents like this, what he seems to be trying to do is to scare people away from mentioning, discussing, and making an effort to understand the theological underpinnings of these acts, lest they be labeled racists or "Islamophobes."
