Martin Peretz on Muslims.

Peretzdossier is wonderful, but only goes back to mid-2005. That lets Marty Peretz off easy. Here's a taste -- with citations! -- of what the rotten bastard was saying about Muslims further back:

• "vainglorious but failed Arab civilization,"¹ 
• "any thoughtful Muslim must conclude that Muslim torments don't count for much in the world,"² 
• "Palestinian nationalism is just another version of Muslim piety,"³  
• "Arabs and Muslims are not all, or even mostly, stickfigure gunmen and bomb throwers,"⁴ 
• "[9/11] ... was a satanic calculus of a certain brand of Muslim piety,"⁵  
• "the Palestinian nation seems to me not yet a faithful community, not yet faithful to itself beyond family or tribe, class, or degree of Muslim piety,"⁶  
• "the Arab populace seems to see peace as a respite before a future war," ⁷ 
• "[France, Spain and Germany] are in at least as much peril as we are--and, given the growing Muslim population in Europe, perhaps more,"⁸ 
• "[Europe's] elites had not foreseen that a virtually unchecked Muslim immigration might hijack the welfare state,"⁹ 
• "a deep truth about much of the Muslim world ... is that it practices a politics of frenzy, that it is gladly feverish, and that it regularly mistakes excitability for authenticity"¹⁰
