Pajamas Media's Sanity Squad on Islam and the Pope

I don't know what the rest of the world is waiting for, but The Sanity Squad podcasts are something that should be on any sane person's "must-download" list.

The Sanity Squad consists of four mental health professionals/bloggers: neo-necon (small "n" is correct), Dr. Sanity, Shrinkwrapped, and Siggy.

Their latest podcast is entitled, The Sanity Squad: A Religion of the Perpetually Paranoid. The four psychology sages put all of Islam on their analysts' couch.

Actually, since it's Islam, there'd have to be two couches, one for each gender--with a partition between the two, but I think you get my point about the couch.

Islam's violent reaction to the Pope's controversial comments about Islam and violence draw the ire of the Squad.

Shrinkwrapped noted that the anti-Pope protests "were well orchestrated," taking place after Friday "inflammatory services."

But Siggy steals the show. Among his brilliant comments:

The Judeo-Christian world civilizes, the Islamic world fantasizes.

And...

The Judeo-Christian world builds things, the Islamic world of today tears things down.
