Death on the Installment Plan

Born In Sin, Come On In


With all the newly found interest in the Muslim Brotherhood... and - alas! - Sayyid Qutb (about whom I have a post or two around here somewhere)... it is time to reflect on really violent people, not that I mean Sayyid Qutb was violent. He was a grouchy old curmudgeon much like myself. FOX has discovered the Ikhwan even though the members are quite old, and finds them some evil genius behind things in Cairo. Let's look at our own home-grown variety of violence, which cable never pays much attention to.

A general in God's patriotic army

wherein we read:

Mike Evans is a shock jock for Armageddon, a cheerleader for the apocalypse. These days, the best-selling author and head of the Jerusalem Prayer Team", a US-based pro-Israel Christian evangelical organization, is at the top of his game. On June 3, his new book, The Final Move Beyond Iraq: The Final Solution While the World Sleeps, made it on to the New York Times best-sellers' list at No 1 in the paperback category....

His prose is pugnacious, a style you might expect from a writer who claims that he is giving the US its "final wake-up call". In the book, and in its promotional materials, such terms as "appeasement", "secular humanist God-haters" and "pro-Islamic radical sympathizers" are tossed around as easily as if he were playing catch in the back yard.

Religious short-order grill cooks, flinging hash in the mean-spirited diners.
Your God is Compulsion and Force, Fear and Hatred.
Jigsaw divinity, whose divine scheme is Death on the Installment Plan.

These men are legion, and they are wolves.
