Alice Goodman – daddy issues big enough to stump an entire busloads of shrinks?

Also, what’s with the tribe in Minnesota? This Goodman chick, Tom Friedman. As a Midwestern Jew, I recommend ceding the state to Canada.

Not terrorists. Muslims. Following their political system . They don’t terrorise. They kill.

I’m sure she’s simply a lovely person.
Not sure why she decided she HAD to become an Anglican priest…but if the Anglicans want her they can most certainly have her…

And though her sense of values may be a bit dodgy, her heart is in the right place—after all, who amongst us hasn’t been charmed by or infatuated with a dashing terrorist with a cause?

Indeed, mercy and a good heart are the greatest of all virtues…. That and REMEMBERING ALWAYS that we are ALL—all of us—created in the image of the Almighty.

(Besides which, Klinghoffer was only a Jew—and an old one at that. Too bad about the wheelchair, though….)

The fact that Goodman became an Anglican priest tells those in the know what kind of Anglican she is. This would be consistent with her inability to portray evil as actually evil.

Kate:

The San Francisco Episcopal Church I attended in the 2000s would hit the Sunday after 9-11 and feel obliged to make some sad vacuous noises about unspecific hate and violence.

9-11 became the Date Which Must Not Be Named. Funny in its way.

Awaiting a follow-up opera about October 7….

Just wonder what they’ll call it…
Miss Rape? Dear Disembowelment? Hostages Ho!? Nova NOW!? Just Justice? Incineration-Liberation? Some/all of the above?

(With all the current staging technology available, should be eminently doable…and a tremendous contribution to high art in the 21st century… On the other hand, still waiting for that opera on Pol Pot…so maybe not…)

“They are “Human Beings” only in that they share our biology.
They are not Civilized by any means.
They are rabid, mad dogs, and should be put to death wherever they are found.” ObloodyHell

Entirely true. But such as they would not long trouble the world if not for the many within civilization whose moral cowardice compels them to seek to appease. Way deep down, at their very core is a desperate fear that only appeasement will keep the crocodile satiated.

This goes back the Arab/Muslim culture which is a shame-honor one. The contrast with Western culture is too great. They should avoid contact with each other. The “sudden jihad syndrome “ is an example of why.

You’re right Neo, they always say “it depends on context” which of course is their way of saying ” You’re not as smart as us”.
