Excellent John Scalzi post on the Paris attacks

I read a feed from his blog here on LJ, to reply to it you have to go to his site.

If you believe that every Muslim supports ISIS and groups like it, then you should also believe that all Christians support the Ku Klux Klan and the Westboro Baptist Church and Scott Lively. You should believe that all white people support actions like the Charleston Shooting. You should believe every man celebrates the anniversary of the École Polytechnique Massacre. And so on, across any group or affiliation you might be able to name.
--John Salzi

You could add the Oklahoma City bombing to that list: it was also carried out by a White Male Christian.


ISIS want to kill co-existence. Anti-Muslim bigots are their greatest gift.

Wow, a rhetorical answer!

"You tell me."
—Donald Trump, when asked how his plan to require a database for all Muslims in the U.S. would be different from the Nazis tracking the Jews in Germany

I'm not sure I've ever seen one of those. "Yes, Donald, we just told you that your plan appears no different than how the Nazis tracked Jews in Germany. Will you please tell us how your plan is different?"
