9. Respect for religion now makes censorship the norm

Comment #257566 by Zzyx1170 on September 30, 2008 at 5:10 pm

From http://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/2008/08/sensitivity-syndrome.htm

The Telegraph said that Jones, "who has never visited the Middle East, spent several years studying Arab history. The novel, she says, is a synthesis of all she had learnt." Which was, in essence, absolutely nothing about Islam and how it is, by its nature, virulently obsessed with global conquest. Jones apparently had no objection to a barbarian raping a six - or nine-year-old girl, and the "love story" she novelized was woven from whole cloth.

The Wall Street Journal opinion piece, written by Muslim Asra Q. Nomani, even contains an excerpt from Aisha's wedding night: "The pain of consummation soon melted away. Muhammad was so gentle. I hardly felt the scorpion's sting. To be in his arms, skin to skin, was the bliss I had longed for all my life."

All nine years? That kind of writing should have appeared in a Harlequin Romance style bodice-ripper that celebrated pedophilia and child molestation. But, under the imprint of a major publisher, Ballantine, a subsidiary of Random House?

But Jones' ignorance of and naiveté about Islam and the publisher's tastelessness are irrelevant. Random House ought to have been free to publish her novel without fear of consequence, except for the probable loss of its investment in the book. (Jones received a $100,000 advance for that title and a sequel.) More likely than making waves as a literary work, it would have been lost in the swamp of undifferentiated fiction that publishers gurgitate every year. Muslims who might have objected to it - their "sensitivities" or feelings having been abused - might not have even become aware of its existence.

Comment #87712 by Zzyx1170 on November 12, 2007 at 11:59 pm

Crazymalc said: Why on earth would you need a compass pointing to Mecca?

According to sharia, you're not allowed to fart when facing towards or away from Mecca. All farts must be directed perpendicular to the direction of Mecca. So they need the compass to know when it's safe to fart without going to hell for farting in the wrong direction.

I think Hitchens did as well as can be expected under the circumstances. In this kind of debate, the bullshitters always have an advantage over the rationalists because the BS-ers can throw out more BS in one minute than the rationalists can debunk in ten minutes. Given that the BS-ers and the rationalists both have equal time to speak, the rationalists can't keep up with the rate that BS is generated.

Comment #78064 by Zzyx1170 on October 11, 2007 at 5:36 pm

He lost me when he wrote "All human sciences are turning into a branch of cultural studies." I wonder if he has been too long subjected to the rotting influence of post-modernist Humanities. Some association with real scientists could do him a world of good.
