Roger Cohen can't write Iran is going to be a free society any time soon but he can always blame Muslim extremism on the West's alleged shortcomings. In other words, the victim's sins made the perpetrator do it. Multiculturalism and political correctness mean never refraining from repenting to the Muslim World on the West's failure to accept dhimmitude fast enough.

What I don't understand is that while England is under threat from islam, not only from terrorism but from cultural jihad, why anti-Semitism has increased. Jews are an assimilated, productive minority while muslims are a scourge on their society, living off the taxpayers and forming their own enclaves where sharia law is being instituted. Britain is in danger of becoming an islamic state, so why is anti-Semitism out of control? You would think anti-muslim feelings would be prevalant in England instead. The Brits deserve what is coming to them.

As an apologist for and appeaser of Iran's evil (including subjugation of Jews), and then indifferent to European anti-Semitism, Cohen is as evil as the societies he defends.

Cohens atttude is typical of the left, whose love afair with Islam is discussed in recent books by Bruce Bawer, Jamie Glazov, and Robin Shepherd.

So, Cohen's self-hatred is no mystery. The mystery is why the majority of Jewish voters stil continue to vote for the left. (Podhoretz just published a book trying to answer this question.)

Roger Cohen is neither the voice of the left nor politically in this social group. He`s a bored, spoiled middle-aged man, who should be the poster boy of an abridged text of Zygmunt Baumann`s essays about postmodernity. As a journalist Cohen is worthless.
