ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Montmorency]

The problem with Fragony's position on (what we call) Islam is that such a rickety assemblage can only be held together by the invidious device of altogether ignoring all usages of "Islam" other than in the sense of "Salafism".

Thus, he confuses us because he speaks in tautologies. 'Why, of course Salafists are Salafists! It is what it is. How could it be any other way?'

It's sort of like saying that the Greek language is extinct because Homeric Greek is extinct, and that therefore only a relative handful of individuals, mostly scholars, can be said to be "Greek-speakers".

This is what passes for nuance in Fragony's land.
