Those Christers Had It Coming

National Catholic Reporter

 

 

Now that Dale Price is back to blogging at Dyspeptic Mutterings, he makes my job so much easier.  I was going to comment on The National Catholic Reporter’s new found respect for the Taliban in the wake of the suicide bombing of All Saints’ Church in Peshawar, Pakistan, but how could I top this?:

 

 

Shorter Maureen Fielder: Krystallnacht was not anti-Jewish, it was anti-Versailles Treaty.

He first characterized the bombing as a “horrific act” without a shred of justification. He praised the Christian community in Pakistan, now more fearful than ever, and noted that he himself was educated by Catholic priests and later by Presbyterians. He counts many Christians as friends.
So I asked him point-blank, “Was this bombing an act of religious discrimination?” Was it religiously motivated? Without hesitation, he said, “No.” He pointed to a statement from the Taliban themselves saying it was a response to the United States’ frequent and continuing drone attacks in the tribal areas of Pakistan. He said the Pakistani government’s protests to the United States have been unable to stop the drones, so the frontier tribes have resorted to their ancient “eye for an eye” response to perceived injustice.

Nice to See Dr. Ahmed has “many” Christians as friends.
Much like the white bigot who’s “friends with a black guy.”
Yeah, despicable.
And of a piece with freshly-minted chickenhawk Michael Sean Winters’ airy dismissal of concern about the fate of Syria’s Christians, should Assad fall.
Say what you will about the Reporter, they always manage to find a new low. And if Catholics ever go into ghettos, you can guess from whose ranks the authorities will recruit the Order Police from.

OK, upon further reflection, it’s not that worrisome.
Go here to read the rest.  After Hitler came to power, there were small groups of German Jews who supported Hitler.  One group, about 150 Jewish college students, was called The German Vanguard.  They aped the Nazi salute, denied that Jews were mistreated in Nazi Germany, fought against the Jewish boycott of German goods and embraced National Socialism.   Almost all of them died in the Holocaust.  The Catholics of The National Catholic Reporter might wish to ponder this old truth:  when idiots cease to be useful, bigots tend not to make fine distinctions.
