This is the point Steyn always makes. It won't be conservatives who are deeply affected by this, but the lefties. Steyn figures he can just grow a beard, take a couple more wives and keep his head down and all will be ok.
But what about tolerance for people not named mohamed? Have they all been slapped in the face and told to piss off?

Manchester Imam says" Killing gays is ok"
Manchester's leading Imam has confirmed that he thinks the execution
of sexually active gay men is justified. Mr. Arshad Misbahi, who is
based at the Manchester Central Mosque, confirmed his views in a
conversation to Dr John Casson, a local psychotherapist.
Dr Casson said: "I asked him if the execution of gay Muslims in Iran
and Iraq was an acceptable punishment in Sharia law, or the result of
culture, not religion. He told me that in a true Islamic state, such
punishments were part of Islam: if the person had had a trial, at
which four witnesses testified that they had seen the actual
homosexual acts."
"I asked him what would be the British Muslim view? He repeated that
in an Islamic state these punishments were justified. They might
result in the deaths of thousands but if this deterred millions from
having sex, and spreading disease, then it was worthwhile to protect
the wider community."
"I checked again that this was not a matter of tradition, culture or
local prejudice. 'No,' he said, 'It is part of the central tenets of
Islam: that sex outside marriage is forbidden; this is stated in the
Koran and the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had stated
that these punishments were due to such behaviours.'" |

Well, good thing the UK isn't going to set up an islamic state.. Oh, wait. Sh.it. |
And you know knucklehead guys like Stey n would be the first to cozy up to a new regime anyways. Guys like him are less about principles, and more about power anyways. Vive le Vichy! |

Steyn is very ideologically consistent. I disagree with him on a wide variety of issues but never thought him a hack ah la Anny C or Sean Hannity. I see no evidence that he would jettison his values in favor of political power. But hey, I've only read all of his books (including the dreadful Broadway Babies Say Goodnight).
Maybe you want to distract from the wider message and situation and instead focus on one personality? It seems this is all the "tolerance" crowd (if that is you) have left. |

American Woman Boasted of Saudi Freedoms To Bush Brother Before Arrest at Starbucks
Two weeks before Yara, an American businesswoman, was arrested by Saudi Arabia's religious police for sitting with a male colleague at Starbucks, she said she strolled past the very same cafe with another businessman: Neil Bush.
Bush, President George W. Bush's younger brother and CEO of the education software company Ignite!, was in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, speaking at an economic forum hosted by King Abdullah for hundreds of influential business leaders.
Yara, who does not want her last name revealed because of safety concerns, is a managing partner at a Saudi financial company. She went to hear Bush speak, and she said she invited him later to tour her company's offices, to give him a sense of what life was really like for women living in the capital.
"I was boasting about Riyadh, telling him it doesn't deserve its bad reputation," she said. "I told him I never experienced any harassment. I'd had no trouble as a woman. It was business as usual."
But on Monday, Yara learned that she had been wrong. She was thrown in jail, strip-searched, threatened and forced to sign false confessions by the kingdom's "Mutaween" police.
"When I was arrested, it was like going through an avalanche," she said. "All of my beliefs were completely destroyed." |
