Nothing to fear?

Nothing To Fear
Misreading Muslim immigration in Europe
John R. Bowen
This is an important challenge to the slew of Islamophobic (so-called) books on Islamic immigration into Europe.
Keeping a focus those books it is nonetheless worth reading those books, at least those not caught up in a right-wing mindset. We have been critical of the leftist confusion created on this issue.
The issue is relevant here because the Dawkins-style New Atheism is a concealed ‘Islmophobic’ (let’s think of a better term or charge, however)initiative.

If you want to read a European book decrying Islam and Muslims, you have many to choose from. The dominant style on the continent is memoir, recounting the horrific experiences of a Muslim (or formerly Muslim) woman in her Islamic milieu. Infidel and The Caged Virgin, by former Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali, are the most familiar in this genre. The best-selling French titles speak for themselves: Dishonored; Mutilated; The Sold Ones and The Fatiha (both on forced marriages); Disfigured; Souad, Burned Alive; and Latya, Her Face Stolen.

Europe’s anti-Islam sentiment may be expressed most visibly in memoirs because Europeans have been reticent to condemn Islam—or religion more generally—outright. Americans, however, seem to prefer a less subtle approach. In the United States, alongside the autobiographies, we find two kinds of direct attack on Islam: as a “gutter religion” (Robert Spencer’s The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran) and as a threat to our fundamental values—a threat that has already overrun Europe and is now heading this way.

I am interested in the second style. They’re asleep; we’re next—so we are warned in Bruce Bawer’s While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within. We hear a similar message in his Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom; in Brigitte Gabriel’s They Must Be Stopped; and Mark Steyn’s America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It.

Perhaps these books are innocent, less about an animus against Islam than an expression of Americans’ secret delight in knocking weak-kneed French and English politicians. Or maybe we simply prefer displacing our anxiety about Islam from the nice Pakistani surgeon next-door onto jihadists invading European cities.

Did Darwin get it wrong?

Posted in Booknotes, Evolution at 1:36 pm by nemo

Review of Darwin critique

So why would Jerry Fodor (philosopher) and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini (cognitive scientist) be so concerned to refute aspects of Darwin’s theory? Their book makes it very clear that an academic turf war lies behind it all. The stimulus was the outrage Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini felt for what they see as the misuse of Darwinism in the social sciences. Evolutionary psychology, in particular, gets their goat.

By Sophie Lovell
Birkhäuser £45, 255 pages

Design is a word that is increasingly diffuse in its application, used in myriad contexts, occasionally spurious, occasionally absurd. From the “designer” jeans and must-have lemon-squeezers of the 1980s, to “designer” drugs and “process design”, the word has been applied liberally to branded consumables and management-speak. Its most recent high-profile use has been in the notion of intelligent design, which transforms God into a creative. En route, we have become familiar with fonts, web layouts and graphic techniques that were formerly the preserve of trained graphic designers. In the astonishing array of “design” objects we now own, from iPhones, shoes and handbags to coffee-makers and cars, we consume design at an unprecedented rate, and are intimately familiar with its vocabulary and its tropes. You can now even buy “design art”, a weird hybrid of the useful, the useless and the very, very expensive.

This organic transistor, based on pentacene(4) and gold nanoparticles and known as a NOMFET (Nanoparticle Organic Memory Field-Effect Transistor), has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system.

More comments on Debunking 9/11 Debunking

We should be wary of getting distracted by the question of Israel, but I find it hard to believe that a complot on 9/11 wouldn’t have been known by Mossad.
But that issue is going to confuse the discussion.
It was also my original feeling, pace Jim Buck’s statement, that there might have been an awareness of a plot forming, with a resulting decision to simply let it happen.
But David Ray Griffin, who also started out with this feeling/hypothesis, came to see that it is refuted by the facts. For example, conspirators coudn’t have manipulated the American air force system, or the world trade center buildings.

Darwin and the Two Crime Scenes

Posted in Evolution at 12:57 pm by nemo

Darwin and the Two Crime Scenes
Much of the conflict between the modern Darwinian and Intelligent Design communities pertains to what each claims and what each can prove about the supposed undirected formation of life. This origin of life question along with proposed explanations of consciousness and other issues often cause the Darwinist to claim that just because science hasn’t yet discovered the cause of something doesn’t mean that it won’t. For the Intelligent Design advocate to claim otherwise is therefore said to embrace a default “God-of-the-gaps” sort of argument that offers no further explanation.
