The [1] Washington Times runs a commentary piece today that reassures me that Jihad Watch and our fellow subversives will be in business for some time. Nothing new here, just a bland recapitulation of the usual establishment bromides about "Islamism"; the need for "modernization"; how the Quran sets out a "just war" theory; etc. Yawn. No mention, of course, of Muhammad's various bloody deeds.

One interesting point of note is that the author, Mustafa Akyol, of the Turkish Daily News (also at [2] www.thewhitepath.com), manages to mention the interpretive principle of Quranic abrogation - but says that this was the product of Islamic jurists rather than the Quran itself (as actually found in Sura 2:106). His point is, of course, wrong, but it is interesting that he felt the need to mention it. Maybe we're getting to them?
