I've read it. Doesn't say much more than what has already been posted on AB.
Apart from the word Savages, which I find inappropriate, most of that article is a succint wrap-up of all that we have been saying on here, as ummm says. The man is well off track. Let's see what happens though today - I hope, nothing.
And why did he bring the Irish into it?

Or are we talking 'American Irish' who's Grand parents haven't even stepped foot in Ireland?
//It is a jaw-droppingly absurd and cowardly argument: we must not offend these people - not out of basic decency and human courtesy, but because we realise that they are homicidal savages who murder when annoyed.//

Excellent article, Whicker, and it gets to the nitty gritty. When I and one or two others said something similar to that above, the principle was overwhelmed by exactly the absurb and cowardly argument the author outlines - together with demands for this peculiar obligatory 'respect' we are all expected to harbour - even if it is for utter madmen.
And yet again more people will have to die in the name of this god!!!!

When will people wake up?
I still want to know what the Irish have got to do with it...!!
Question Author
ummmm - it's the Irish Independent, thus primarily written for the Irish reader, hence his reference to reactions in Ireland.

By the way - O'Doherty is a bloody interesting daily columnist, not least because what he usually writes challenges my views and i often fundamentally disagree with him.
It sounds like he's one worth keeping an eye on, Whicker.
