I first saw him as a young teenager before I even became interested in politics, on his weekly TV spot "point of view". It was obvious to me that he was very much into the politics of fear and loathing.
During the American war against the people of Vietnam he tried to pressure our government into persuading the USA to use nuclear weapons against the North Vietnamese.
To his credit he was one of the few voices on the right side of the culture wars divide to oppose the then nascent but now firmly in place politics and anti-"culture" of "free"- market fundamentalism.
He also said that he never ever voted for the Liberal party.
And yes it would be a very sorry day for humankind is Islam came to dominate the world.
But how many human beings of either Islamic or Arab origins have been slaughtered by the Christian West in the past decade, as compared to Westerners whether Christian or otherwise by members of Islam.
And of course we dreadfully sane Westerners dont do terror do we. We are "civilized". As an invitable consequence of our dreadful sanity we gave the entire world both World Wars. We do our supposedly non-terrorist killing via silently "efficient" drones. Or via cruise missiles launched from secure bunkers thousands of miles away, or from 30,000 feet via B52 bombers. Or we use petrol bombs, Moab bombs, daisy-cutters, cluster-bombs
