The wimpyness of PC

Reader comment on item: The Erratic Career of Western Music in Iran
in response to reader comment: Censorship

The idea of political correctness is perhaps a wonderful thing when all among us are also equally versed in politically correctness.

There is nothing, in my estimation, concerning PC in the Quaran. To my mind this book is a good description of the law of the jungle. A jungle where the strong kill and eat the weak. If the weak jungle dweller were to be a PC animal and (able to ) begin spouting PCisms it would only get him eaten quicker. Sort of like in the ghetto-"easy meat". PCness will make the Jihadists job easier as they seek out weaknesses in the West.
