Carnal Reason

I have nothing to say that rises to the solemnity of the anniversary of 9/11, so tomorrow I will say nothing at all. My recommendation for some 9/11 reading is Martin Amis’ essay, The Age of Horrorism. It is interesting, insightful, and important.

On the eve of the fifth anniversary of 9/11, one of Britain’s most celebrated and original writers analyses - and abhors - the rise of extreme Islamism. In a penetrating and wide-ranging essay he offers a trenchant critique of the grotesque creed and questions the West’s faltering response to this eruption of evil.
