"I'll have a triple espresso -- oh, and use fundamental coffee, please, thanks..."

Today on Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer proudly features himself arm in arm with Steve Bannon, one of those conservatives with a no-nonsense swagger that triggers in the Counter-Jihad Mainstream (both Leadership and Civilians) a free pass to use retrograde rhetoric on the problem of Islam.

Bannon, reports Spencer,

...said in 2016 that I was “one of the top two or three experts in the world on this great war…against fundamental Islam.”

To which we, outside the Counter-Jihad Mainstream, ask:

As opposed to non-fundamental Islam...?

You won't find that question in the Counter-Jihad Mainstream.  Which is why I have dim hopes that the Counter-Jihad in general (passively pushed and pulled by the tide of its Mainstream, whose influence remains unquestioned by a hapless Civilian body) will be able to do its primary job -- to wake up its surrounding Western Mainstream before Muslims succeed in destroying our civilization.

And if we few outliers in the Counter-Jihad have to explain to its Mainstream why the rhetoric of qualifiers and dysphemisms is crucially important to avoid when discussing the problem of Islam (and of all Muslims), that just goes to show how infirm & illiterate its Mainstream is.
