Mark Shea on Wafa Sultan

From The Hopes of the Secular Post-Christian West Encapsulated:
- The hope of the secular post-Christian West is that there will rise up from the Islamosphere a whole lot of Wafa Sultans: people who are culturally and religiously indistinguishable from the editorial board of the NY Times but dressed in Arab skin. These mythic legions will then, it is hoped, make Bronze Age Fanatics go away by arguing them down on Larry King.
The West suffers from a fundamental failure to grasp that a diseased and inflamed spirituality can only be confronted by a healthy spirituality, not another diseased spirituality like Western post-Christian secularism and New Age drivel.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
