[Radicalislamvsworld's Blog] HISTORY - Time line [some] Important Dates in radical 'ISLAM VS WORLD': These future United States presidents questioned the ambassador as to why his government was so hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to provoke any such animosity. Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to the Continental Congress, “that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

[Climate Progress] The Audacity of Nope: George Will embraces the anti ...: The core problem with this analysis is that we are held between two competing and rigid ideologies.  Apparently, in the view of N&S, the modern environmental movement has no ability to reason, or to calculate trade-offs between economic growth and environmental protection.  Neither, apparently, do N&S.  They are imprisoned within their own ideology of an uncritical and unreflexive modernization, without any corrective capacity based on democratic governance.  The idea of the Enlightenment was to subject our institutions, including both the market and the state, to collective democratic control.  Our society’s capacity to learn, and change is enabled through democratic discussion.  While economic modernization is one part of modernization, its uncritical application as the universal solution to whatever ails us is just another form of irrational ideology.  Nowhere do we see any critical perspective on the limitations of markets, or the false freedom of consumer choice that N&S celebrate.  How can one celebrate “individual choice” in a society permeated by a $300-billion-per-year needs-creation industry in the form of modern advertising?  The so-called freedom and individuality lauded by N&S merely amounts to a false choice among consumer lifestyles, not a real and informed participant in our own governance.

Iraq wasn’t nearly as bad in that sense, since the people who were most opposed were generally strong supporters in other contexts, so we were able to have a strained but civil dialogue.
