Nothing new there then.
Melanie really does need some more interesting outlets for her ex-leftist-turned-rightist guilt.

Any thoughts about the article rather than the author? Not quite an ad hom attack, but you seem to want to dismiss what she says because of who she is.

Well, I’ve been reading Melanie for many years while she’s been to the left of me and to the right of me - there is nothing new in the article, she’s been pushing this line for some time, it’s just a re-working - google her name along with ‘islam’ or just go to melaniephillips.com/. Unfortunately her contributions over the years to the Jewish Chronicle are unavailable.
As to my ‘ad hom attack’, I look forward with great anticipation to seeing you defending leftist writers against the sarcasm/snarling that attends reports of their writings.

I’m not defending this author, nor will I be likely to defend lefties in the future. But I do think it polite to discuss why a person is wrong rather than conclude an article is garbage merely because of the name at the bottom.
Best point out the specific garbage instead. And yes, this goes for folks critiqueing leftist authorts too.
Feel free to sock me in the jaw if I resort to such tactics too.

If that were the case, the number of posts on this forum would drop by a remarkable proportion - certainly if it were the case that what was being ‘pointed out’ was more than personal observation.
Is there something inherently wrong with pointing out that Melanie was just re-hashing old material - the substance of my comment?
