Very well said, but the truth is plain to see. The suffering of women and girls continues, as the world is afraid to speak, to challenge Islamic ideology. We know what happened to Charlie Hebdo and to Salman Rushdie. The threat is still present in our lives, but, as is common in our world, women and girls will be the victims with no end in sight. Sad.
I think this essay is great example of why it’s important to have freedom of speech and a diverse media ecosystem with multiple centers of power. America isn’t immune to institutions tip toeing around Islam. But because of fractious (and crassness lol) of the political arena, there is more space to have these debates
Amazing essay. Clear and concise. "Strategic bafflement" is a perfect term to describe where we are today.
Really appreciate that. Thanks for reading.

You’ve hit many nails on multiple heads.
Ha, love that expression. I'm going to start using it. Thanks for reading.
Well argued.
Perfectly stated.
