AMERICA’S FIFTH COLUMN

Check out this profile in the Boston Globe of a New Yorker Muslim, the grandson of Pakistani immigrants, who followed the last game in the World Series from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and who has no qualms about killing American soldiers were he to meet them in Afghanistan. The Globe’s piece is absurdly deferential, even fawning, which is no surprise, I suppose. This traitor – a word the Globe could never use – “has a teddy-bear face and a ready smile.” But even the Globe is forced to concede that this is a new type of American – someone who, even after being born here of American parents, can jettison his loyalty to country at the drop of a hat. And this after a massacre of thousands of New Yorkers! I’m beginning to think Daniel Pipes is truly onto something.
