Bow Down in Fear

Brit columnist Melanie Phillips agrees with Loose Canon that fear pure and simple is behind the rampant desire not to offend jihadists and other radical followers of Islam. The Church of England is the latest group to be scared out of their wits:

"Is there no limit to the abjectness of the Church of England's response to Islamic terror? A working group of bishops led by the Bishop of Oxford Richard Harries has suggested that western Christians should apologize for the Iraq war. The moral stupidity of this is hard to believe, even by the standards of the C of E. Yes, terrible mistakes have been made by the coalition which have contributed to the appalling violence in Iraq which continues. But apologize -- for what, precisely? For getting rid of Saddam Hussein who subjugated his people and subjected them to unspeakable barbarity? For enabling the Iraqis to taste democracy and freedom for the first time? And apologize to whom exactly? To the Ba'athists, perhaps, who subjected the rest of the population to a regime of unmitigated horror and towards whom the church - by this logic - feels badly that they have been deprived of power?"
