With the Toulouse murders as a case in point,
Mark Steyn breaks down the inevitable four stages:
... Stage One: The strange compulsion to assure us that the killer is a “right wing conservative extremist"
... Stage Two: Okay, he may be called Mohammed but he’s a “lone wolf.”
... Stage Three: Okay, even if there are enough lone wolves around to form their own Radio City Rockette line, it’s still nothing to do with Islam.
... Stage Four: The backlash that never happens. Because apparently the really bad thing about actual dead Jews is that it might lead to dead non-Jews: “French Muslims Fear Backlash After Shooting.” ...
Mark's piece comes complete with references to two of Canada's usual suspects, Warren Kinsella and Bernie Farber.
then you get catsmeat linking all "right-wing conservative extremists" with the nut-bar, Anders Brevik. I await the newest revelation to come about how Mike Harper and Steve Harris were unfurling their respective "hidden ageandas," with the insane actions of the butcher in France.
