Now and again I trip down memory lane to old essays I wrote years ago on my erstwhile blog, The Hesperado (which at times contain even older links that lead me into my former life as a commenter on Jihad Watch back in the mists of time); and while doing so I find lots of stuff I wrote that's good (to toot my own horn), occasionally I find an essay that rises even above that. At the same time, I marvel at how "evolved" I was even nearly a decade ago -- evolved that is, in terms of the problem of Islam.
One such essay, from 2013, I reproduce here:
The dreaded "A" word
That word my title refers to is "All" -- as in "all Muslims".
Even back then, I see I had made the connection between the problem of Islam and the problem of all Muslims, and proceeded to delve in detail into a complex of related points. And what really surprised me was that in that essay, I linked to an old Jihad Watch comments field from 2010, where even then I was on my mark as I fended off a robust Counter-Jihadist's underlying nougat of softness.
The essay should be read in its entirety, including that older link, which I denoted as my "scintillating rebuttal" of that Ol' Softy.
