It’s not quite the way I remember President Bush’s State Of The Union speech from 2003, but it turns out to have been true enough.

This is the work of British satirist Chris Morris, creator of Brass Eye and Jam.

Morris recently spent some time detailing the absurdity of author Martin Amis, who has Taken On Islamism, and grimly warned we are entering the ‘Age Of Horrorism’ and other new words, invented by Amis. Beware the Meccalanche :

Amis should be allowed to wonder aloud about anything. He can suggest Muslims should ‘experience painful discrimination until they get tough with their children’ if he likes.

Thought experiments are fine.

But if he bundles his thoughts on Islam together and iterates them one after the other as he did when I saw him, he displays not unguarded musing but the forging of an incoherent creed of hate.

It goes roughly like this: 9/11 was horrific, its driving ideology was totalitarian, the totalitarians were Muslims, all Muslims follow a book they believe to be the immutable word of God, I don’t believe that, therefore all Muslims are idiots, and basically bastards. Idiot bastards moping around the Middle East in a paranoid funk just cos they lost their empire, and what a rubbish empire it was, too, by the way. Now, what is your balanced view of these primitive wife-beating idiotic bastards?

Martin Amis made funny, an accomplishment on a grand scale.
