#3. “Marxist-Islamic” is no more perverse than Marxist-Catholic, ie ‘liberation theology.’

once you think about it – it is just a combination of two mythologies, kind of like a team-up between Superman and the Hulk.

#1, Ah, yup. “Nuanced”. Yup. I have a friend who made sure I was kept informed on those “nuances”. (Oh, boy, are some of those practices “nuanced”. And “practiced”.)

(Ahem, back to the article):

“The People’s Mujahideen, originally a Marxist-Islamist group, was set up in the mid-1960s to oppose the US-backed dictatorship of the late Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. It participated in the country’s Islamic revolution but fell out with the clerical government and launched a campaign of assassinations and bombings to try to topple it.”

That group sounds like terrorists to me. “Freedom fighters” and “terrorists” are the same thing, right? Even if they are trying to enslave everyone to a religion?

Wait a minute. Marx called religion “the opiate of the masses”. “Marxist-Islamist”?

I am not entirely sure that is what the Law Lord meant, when he used the word “perverse”. The English have subtler nuances of perversion, than Americans.
