medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
You go from ad hominem to red herring (Nazi = Christian). You still have not responded to the original problem: the attempt to shut down all discourse because the author of the original piece was a person who's views apparently do not even merit being heard, namely, a neo-con (even that characterization is not particularly accurate in the case of Steyn). You extended that dismissal to me in your initial response to me--you dismissed what I wrote as rightwing boilerplate. You would,. I hope, not permit yourself to dismiss an adherent of any other political or religious or ethnic persuasion with such labeling.
I do not understand why academics permit this kind of abrupt, arrogant, prejudiced dismissal of conservatives when they would be the first to jump on someone using it toward any other group in society. And I am still waiting for your admission that you accused me, no, mocked me, for calling Islam pure eeeeeeevil when I wrote nothing even approaching that. I repeat, that was a personal insult to my intelligence and I'm tired of it being tolerated in academic circles.
