Hitchens on Western Self-Loathing
At UberCommenter Joe’s suggestion, here’s a piece from ‘our favorite atheist’ Christopher Hitchens:
I wrote some years ago that the three most salient characteristics of the Muslim death-squad type were self-righteousness, self-pity, and self-hatred. Surrounded as he was by fellow shrinks who were often very distressed by his menacing manner, Maj. Hasan managed to personify all three traits—with the theocratic rhetoric openly thrown in for good measure—and yet be treated even now as if the real word for him was troubled. Prepare to keep on meeting those three symptoms again, along with official attempts to oppose them only with therapy, if that. At least the holy warriors know they are committing suicide.
And the Army did not fire him?
Oh, and I am only an ubercommentator so as to give some conservative balance Muskrat and John-In-Nashville.
