My previous post on Jerry Falwell (and the larger issue of religious extremism) continues to receive a lot of comments. The comments (which mostly focus on the threat of Islamic extremism to Britain) are much more interesting than my original post, so take a look if you are interested in this topic. And today, at least one commenter came to my defense! Finally!
The Vol Abroad has taken time out from baby watch (I hope Cletus arrives soon!) to link to my Falwell post and write more in-depth about why many in Britain are hesitant to condemn Islamic extremism in their own country. She knows a lot more about this issue than I do, so check it out. Also, this earlier post she did on the same subject is quite interesting too.
I know a few readers aren’t enjoying Anglofille’s current political bent. This makes me sad. See:
I go through political phases. Actually, my life is in a weird transition period right now. I’m getting ready to start school again. I need to find a new place to live. (I can only stay in my current residence until the beginning of July.) I need to find a job since this exchange rate is bankrupting me. Because my first month back in London was so focused on the CELTA course I was taking, only now am I experiencing the often unsettling feelings that come with a big move — not knowing a lot of people, feeling lonely sometimes, wondering whether I fit in, etc. So writing about politics has helped take my mind off things. And it’s invigorating. Still, I try to do a balance of posts: My inane life/Major world events/Insulting France/My inane life/Major world events…

Just don’t stray too far to the right eh?
-
I’m not on the “right” of anything, my dearest Korova! Since when does speaking out against religious extremist psychos make one right-wing?!
Don’t piss me off!
-
Hey, I was only kidding!!
-
You know what they say, as you get older you become more and more right-wing. It comes to us all. Heaven forbid it ever happens to me!
-
I am NOT right-wing! I know you are just taunting me now. My posts on religious extremism and my dissing France is just too much for you to take.
Anglofille is just a free thinker, Korova dearest. I’m unpredictable! Watch out!
-
Hey, I’m still teasing!! Of course you’re not right-wing. You are far too compassionate for that kind of ideology. Really, I’m just pulling your leg - and scared of what you will do to me now
-
You should be scared! To atone for your sinful ways, you must watch Fox News Channel all Bank Holiday Weekend. I expect a full report on Tuesday as proof that you obeyed my orders.
-
I can feel the hate through my monitor!! Fox??? I will go insane with anger!! You are one cruel woman! That is the last time I cross you!!
-
That is the last time I cross you!!
You’re not the first man to say that…
-
I’m rapidly revising my opinion of you!!
-
I wonder what kind of opinion you had of me…
-
i never thought you would be a vengeful person!
-
I’m not vengeful. I’m spunky.
-
Mmmm, I think you have been in England long enough to know what that word means over here! Don’t go dropping your Americanisms
-
Oh dear, if that word has some obscene meaning over here, I am not aware of it.
-
Teehee, I was just being unnecessarily obscene. It is one letter away from being very vulagr indeed!!
-
This could be a comment posting record!!
-
I just discovered what “spunk” means over here. I should have figured!
I hope no one else actually takes the time to read this comment thread. They will think we are insane.
-
well one of us DEFINITELY is!!
-
One only needs to read your blog to figure that out. No need to broadcast it.
-
touche!
-
Sorry, I had to go and bring France into this!!
-
Who knew anarchists could provide such entertainment?
-
We’re warm fuzzy folk really. We just get a bad press.
