I won't defend Fascism, but would say it is inaccurate to equate it
with Nazism.
For that matter, I have grave issues with German nationalism, but
wouldn't want to condemn it.

Um, yeah, actually I would agree with that. You're saying you side
with McCarthy on that? :-) I condemn Stalinism, but there are some
Marxists whose intellectual contribution I respect even if I disagree
with.

LAGOS, Nigeria, March 8 (CDN) — An uneasy calm prevailed in Platea
u state, Nigeria today following the killing of hundreds of Christ
ians early yesterday morning in three farming villages near Jos by
ethnic Fulani Muslims.
I don't disagree at all that Islam is extremely dangerous; I fully
agree that the teachings of the Koran directly contribute to
countless acts of violence, persecution, and other atrocities.
I just don't believe that a wholesale condemnation of Islam is
either intellectually justified or practically useful.
