Only a precious few no-dhimmis allowed in the New York Times Book Review's big Islam issue this weekend. Andrew McCarthy comments at [1] The Corner:
So here I was this morning, minding my own business, finally getting to John Bolton's (tremendous) new book, [2] Surrender Is Not an Option, (which I have looked forward to with an anticipation similar to that caused by [3] a new book by some guy named Jonah Something-or-Other), when what to my wandering eyes should appear -- with today's newspapers -- but this weekend's [4] New York Times Book Review, which is [drum-roll ] the Islam Issue. Tariq Ramadan, naturally, leads the pack.I see there is at least some effort at balance -- Irshad Manji, Fouad Ajami and (my personal favorite) Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I had a hopeful frisson when I saw the name Dalrymple on the cover, but, alas, it is William, not Theodore (I hasten to add I have nothing against William, and his review of the Adventures of Amir Hamza seems, on a quick skim, interesting). Naturally, though, Bat Ye'or, Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Bruce Thornton...et al, need not apply.
