Charles Johnson says:
“The kinds of hate mail and the kinds of attacks I am getting from the right wing are way beyond anything I got when I was criticizing the left or even radical Islam.”
The rightwing nutjobs do have the numerical advantage, so that’s not surprising.
btw, the LA Times piece on Johnson was overall positive, but the NYT piece was more critical. Johnson has posted a couple of responses to the NYT piece. He was also profiled in Vanity Fair.
UPDATE – my post at COB on Charles Johnson’s jihad.

Interesting Christian blog, “His Peace Upon Us“. From the About page:
I am a Christian follower of Jesus who loves the people of the Middle East. The basic premise of this blog is that we cannot love those we do not know. So I am hopeful that this blog is one way Muslims and Christians get to know each other.
I thank God for my wonderful wife and three beautiful children. I enjoy people of other cultures, telling Arabic jokes, eating shawarma and falafel, and studying US presidential history.
bookmark it – the Brass Crescent Awards are coming up again!

Hilzoy is hanging up her blogging hat. I think we need her more than ever, though.
One of her most important posts worth highlighting – about Mbaye Diagne, a hero who saved many lives in Rwanda.
