Obama the climate mullah! Mannahu Akbar!

No Facts, Just Fascists! m/r

Mannahu Akbar! :: SteynOnline

January 30, 2015

The other day I quoted this letter from Mindy Alter in The National Post:
Mark Steyn reminds us of the similarities between jihadists and climate-change alarmists. Both are fanatical. Both hew to ideologies that brook no dissent or criticism. Both go ballistic — albeit in markedly different ways — when some "blasphemer" has the audacity to make withering fun of them and their orthodoxies. Most crucially, however, is the fact that both are control freaks who seek to micro-manage our lives, the climate-change alarmists via onerous environmental regulations, the jihadists via Sharia law.
To which I responded:
Oh, c'mon on, it's not quite that bad: The Allahu Akbar crowd demand death for apostasy. So far the climate mullahs are only advocating prison terms for us apostates.
Greenpeace Activist Calls For Climate Change 'Deniers' To Be Beheaded
Indeed:
Ask yourself a simple question: Would the world be a better place without Matt Ridley?

Need I answer that question?
