Don't worry, he's only got a little gun

'No Islamist armies are about to march into Europe - indeed, most victims of Revolutionary Islamism live in the Middle East, not in Europe - and Ahmadinejad, his nasty rhetoric notwithstanding, does not have a fraction of Hitler's power.' Ian Buruma, quoted at http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/001481.html

The ramshackle armoury of arguments made by lefties about the Wahhabist attempts to take over the world are weirdly disparate. One I often here is that they just don't have the weapons which would necessitate us taking them seriously. The 19 hijackers on 9/11 had a few boxcutters and a plan. Their weapon was our airplane. The day before yesterday, the bomb was some gas canisters and cans of petrol as the detonator. As arguments go, the one which says:
Yes they are fanatics full of murderous intent and psychopathic hatred of things they don't understand, but don't worry! They're only armed with knives and such. It always was a stupid argument, but this weeks events have surely lain it in its grave.
