In praise of folly: a satire

Evan Carp: We couldn’t possibly agree more with everything you wrote in your Wespeak, “Question Islamic Radicals.” But watch out that a local imam doesn’t call a fatwa on you. We just can’t trust these people. Who knows what they could be hiding in their turbans? We, as quiet, blond-haired, mild-mannered flag bearers of Christendom, must fight these primitive and barbaric savages. We must defend our homeland against the heathens. Although we are righteously seeking truth and defending morality, these dirty Mamlukes are led by pure animal passions stemming from their loins. For the burka may cover their women, but it cannot suppress their animal lusts, which are ignited at the most minute stimulation. Their eyes reveal the glare of a caged animal, caged within their false mythological nonsense known as Islam.

Of course, certainly, we cannot possibly suggest that it is ALL Muslims who are such savage beasts, that is absurd and not worthy of civilized debate. But many, many, many, MANY are. Of course, among these seething hyenas there are a few Muslims who stand upright and are westernized. But be wary, for their calm demeanor may be as real as a mirage amidst the Arabian sands. Indeed, they are a cunning brood who hide behind mist and shadow. Their very nature is prone to lying and deceit, for, we all know, as rational Westerners, that the only carpets that fly are in airplanes and that the only genie in a bottle is Christina Aguilera.

In conclusion, march on Christian soldier! For Christ is with you and we are behind you.
