Identity Politics.

Allah at HotAir.com has this:

"World Net Daily broke the news yesterday that a far-left student newspaper at the University of Oregon — called “The Insurgent” appropriately enough — decided to publish 12 deliberately offensive cartoons of Jesus in their March issue. Why? Because the Oregon Commentator, a conservative student newspaper at U of O, recently published the 12 Jyllands-Posten cartoons of Mohammed. The Insurgent wanted Christians to know what it felt like to have their religion insulted.
Because, really, what would Christians know about something like that?" (could that be any more of a perfect line? Like we Christians aren't insulted just about every day in this country)

Jeff at Protein Wisdom brings his usual insightful thoughts on the matter. This is a previous relevant post of his on “tolerance” In both, he says things just the way I would say them if I was as smart as he is.

Read all links. They are very very good posts and they give us a clear picture of the problem with identity politics.

But this is what I love. Allah and Jeff are not Christians. This isn't about them being offended. What Allah, Jeff, and I share is not our faith in God, but our faith in the essence of Democracy.
