Case in Point: “Islamophobia” slur being used to chill debate

Concerns about the term “Islamophobia”

1. Vagueness: The term “Islamophobia” is often vaguely defined, making it difficult to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Islam and actual phobic behavior.

I did some more writing; some of you are going to hate it because it conflicts with your world view but here it is. There will be some redundancies as i’ve combined two texts I’ve written and am still in process of editing it down, distilling it into a more concise and less repetitive text. […]

In response to the ‘free Palestine’ movement

In response to the naive and simplistic ‘free Palestine’ movement i’m going to start the ‘Free Charlie Manson’ campaign to illustrate that Hamas is demonstrably and evidently a criminally insane terrorist organization with an agenda, in writing, to kill all the Jews of Israel and commit genocide.

Winter Wonderland on Salt Spring Island

It really is beautiful up here at the studio this time of year. The deer come by for a nibble and i confess to feeding them apples, carrots and such just cause they have big eyes and i know it’s hard for them when it snows like this for weeks. I posted some Youtube video […]
