Yes, the Guardian has found another one. Choice lines:
Such extreme
interpretations exist only in specific political circumstances – they
certainly do not predate them, and the religious/political equation
breaks down if there is no injustice to drive it.
You see, it is us, by the creation of a specific political injustice, who have created this extremist version of a religion. Yeah, yeah, tell that to the Muslim Brotherhood.
No number of sniffer dogs
or sermons denouncing the use of violence against innocents can detect
and remove the pain and anger that drives extremists to their terrible
acts. The truth is that shoddy theology does not exist without a dodgy
foreign policy.
See, there you have it. It really is us who are guilty.

I’m thinking of starting a fascist, misogynistic, homophobic and socialist pressure group. As far as I can see it’s the best way to get one’s writings published in the Guardian. NUJ rates would more than makeup for the disgust I would feel at spouting such nonsense. Anyone got any ideas on a suitable pseudonym? Title for the group?
