creeping intolerance

We've been tolerant of intolerance for far too long.

We've also been afraid to name the source of all the world's threats today. It is militant Islamism.

My idol Theo Van Gogh died in the service of pointing this out to us.

Perhaps it's not the religion that makes these thugs make life miserable. Me, I think thuggism knows no bounds.

But whatever the label, it needs to be dealt with now, with a good dose of common sense.

You don't @##$% where you eat.
