…OR…

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Mark Steyn Human Rights Show Trial!

Mark Steyn’s latest offering is Lights Out: Islam, free speech and the twilight of the west. The first section of the book is the offending Maclean’s articles that Mohamed El Masry and the Sock Puppet Three found “flagrantly Islamophobic“. These articles are presented in all their hateful glory, along with a point-by-point of why the thin-skinned law students were so offended, and a rebuttal from the Islamophobe himself.

Beyond that are further articles collected from Steyn’s various outlets that further prove what a hater he is, but that the Sock Puppet Three just didn’t have the time between prayers to scour for his calls to genocide. Or whatever it was they were yelping about at taxpayer expense for a year. Ho hum.

I was pleased to see the book included one of my all-time favorite Steyn articles: My Sharia Amour (not “flagrantly Islamophobic”).

There was a momentary silence, just long enough for me to start backing upstage nervously. And then the crowd went wild! The guys in the balcony cheered deliriously and hurled their machetes across the orchestra pit, shredding my pants. An Afghan wedding party grabbed their semi-automatics and blew out the chandeliers, sending them hurtling to the aisle, where they killed a Japanese camera crew. Tough luck, fellers, but that’s what happens when you get between me and my audience.

Lights Out is a hefty little book; a hardcover of 322 pages. But each article takes no more than a couple of minutes to devour, and you’ll miss the book when it’s finished.

Order it from the Steyn Store or from Amazon.com.
