I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Seriously, Islam: stuff it!
September 29, 2008
Dear Islam,
If you want to be taken seriously as a world religion, there’s something you have to accept: people will attack you, people will mock you, and people will attempt to undermine you. And if you approach each incident thereof with violence and threats of violence, it will just confirm the suspicion of many in the West that yes, Islam is a violent and disgusting Religion. You’re going to have to learn to accept books like The Jewel of Medina, just as you’re going to have to learn to accept that people will take a long, hard look at your (false!) prophet and his marital relationship with a nine-year old girl, Aisha.
Christians have had to endure this stuff for centuries, and now it’s your turn.
In all seriousness: stuff it.
Imams, stop playing the “nice country you have here…shame if something were to happen to it,” game and tell the violent idiots in your congregations to put the gas and matches away, and to stop chanting about death and beheading at each and every instance of an insult being levelled against Islam, Muhammad, or some other aspect of your strange little cult. Either get your people in line, or expect that sooner or later, the government of the nations that have so graciously agreed to host you and let you build mosques will have to do it for you.
Grow up, in other words, and stop poking. You might find you won’t like what you accidentally awaken.
Regards,
Time Immortal
