Absolute dishonesty

Submitted by Nick Land (China), Oct 14, 2002 at 05:47

Dear Dr. Pipes,

Thank you for your intellectual integrity about the most criticial issue of our time.

The evasions of politicians, slimy deceit of terror's leftist academic fellow-travelers, and outright mendacity of Islamofascist aggression run together into a single monstrous phenomenon. An honest voice these days is a precious thing indeed.

Militant Islam has turned the principles of Holocaust denial into a systematic tactic. Once again, following the Bali atrocity, the very people responsible for - or sympathetic to - the attack have immediately claimed that the victims themselves, or their allies, are the real culprits. The same grotesque lies, of course, accompanied the 9/11 massacre. This consistent, intrinsic and absolute dishonesty of the Jihadis places their war on a level of sickening deceit perhaps unprecedented in human history, and further underlines the complete intellectual bankruptcy of their ideological apologists in the West.

Like you, I worry that a further cataclysmic act of Jihadi barbarism will be required to shake the Free World from its decadent stupor and provoke the uncompromising resolve to fight back.

On the positive side, the Islamofascists are clearly terrified of the truth.

Keep up the good work.
