a very interesting interview.
why mohammedanism does not want critical thinking: there is a lot to criticize in the green brigade's beliefs. (as in the white brigade's as well as the red brigade's).
a very insidious attempt is being put forth by pakistanis to deem via the united nations that any criticism of mohammedanism is a 'human rights violation'. this in the next email. they are totally silent on the violations of human rights of non-mohammedans especially *by* mohammedans.
they are attempting to de jure dhimmify people, not satisfied with the widespread de facto dhimmification of much of europe and america.
these green buggers are really audacious. and of course they have a lot of red blighters supporting them too.

Frontpage Interview's guest today is Bill Warner, the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI). CSPI's goal is to teach the doctrine of political Islam through its books and it has produced a series on its focus. Mr. Warner did not write the CSPI series, but he acts as the agent for a group of scholars who are the authors. FP: Bill Warner, welcome to Frontpage Interview. Warner: Thank you, Jamie, and Frontpage Magazine for having me. FP: I would like to talk to you today about your view that the end of critical thought has arrived. First let me ask you, what exactly do you mean by critical thought? Warner: Critical thought also can be called analytic thought or scientific analysis. A key element is that all sides of an idea are to be analyzed. There are no forbidden questions in critical thought. There is an appeal to logic and reason. Critical thought is not about feelings, but freedom of ideas. Critical thought is the opposite of authoritative thought that is delivered fully developed by an "authority." Authoritative thought is the use of power by controlling thought and ideas. Medieval scholasticism and Communist propaganda are examples of authoritative thought where there is no room in the public forum to disagree with the authority and if you do, you will be punished in some way. Authoritarian thought is the thought process of slavery. Freedom of thought is not allowed. Two characteristics of critical reasoning are skepticism and humor. Skepticism means that all assumptions can be questioned. Everything is on the table. It may seem odd to have humor as part of critical thinking, but humor comes about as part of skepticism. Skepticism encourages humor because you are able to poke fun at any idea. One reason for the Mohammed cartoon riots was that Islam does not allow any skepticism or critical thought. There are no known Mohammed jokes in the Muslim world. We have jokes about God, Jesus, St. Peter, Moses, Satan and Adam. We can make a little joke at anybody's expense because we can have freedom of thought. Humor stops at Mohammed's door, because critical thought stops at Mohammed's door. ... deleted |

'Victim' is more apt than 'member of RoP'. Bloggers should make it the defacto term.
