Live from the Middle East

[Big Papa Goat]

I just like how the article implies something about the problem with radical Islamists is that they are stuck in some kind of brutal pre-modern past. Almost as if the author thinks that to be 'modern' is to not be brutal or barborous. Almost as if the author thinks that brutality disappears with the progress of history.

And those primative bastards that killed Marie-Antoinette, aren't we lucky we're nothing like them anymore. Aren't we lucky to have evolved from that 'elemental barbarity'. I guess it really is a bit ironic that the Enlightened Europeans would be afriad in fear of radical Islamists, in spite of the sophistication their modern history has brought them. I mean, just look at how sophisticated modern Europe's history has been, since they evolved from those brutal elemental barbarians that chopped off Marie-Antoinette's head.
