FrontPage Magazine - Christopher Stevens Feeds the Crocodile
I believe, from all I've read, that we are strikingly naive about the Muslim world...
On Front Page Magazine's website, Daniel Greenfield gives his thoughts about recent events in Libya:
"Stevens’ former Peace Corps colleague says of him, “Chris devoted his career, and life, to improving relations between the Arabic/Islamic world and the West.” That he did and he died doing it, losing whatever career or life he might have had if he had not embarked on a futile errand to make the Muslims who killed him and paraded around his body like him. And like all those who have died over the years in the same cause, the effort was to no avail. 'It’s especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save,' Obama said, repeating the same lie that he used to drag America into his illegal war. Benghazi was not in any need of saving, it was the Americans who came to Benghazi, like Chris Stevens, who needed saving. That is the terrible blind spot in our vision which, like Christopher Stevens, tells us that we need to save the Muslims who hate us, rather than showing us that we need to save ourselves."
