Dinesh D'Souza's destructive new book "The Enemy At Home" is apparently a best seller. D'Souza has done a tremendous disservice to the cause of truth and Western resistance to Islamic aggression. Basically, his thesis is that the West should suck up to Islam more while rationalizing its aggression and denigrating those who resist. D'Souza reinforces old errant myths and invents a few new ones in his ignorance of Islam.
D'Souza's attempt to blame 9/11 on liberal morals is mere scapegoating and is easily refuted. Devout Muslims would not approve of the morals of the most devout Christian conservatives either - we don't cover our women in burqas nor segregate by gender. To Muslims, those who reject Islam reject "God" and have committed a crime against "God" and thus deserve death. There is no sucking up to Islam nor any other action save that of conversion that will placate Islamic radicals. To pretend otherwise does a disservice to conservatives as much as to liberals.
Powerline blog has a good post today describing D'Souza's insipid nonsense. Read it here.
