Just finished Submission. Let's talk about this ugly piece of shit.

Also, if you thought Submission was a satire, then you're a brainlet.

Never read it, only read Atomized, but he himself is explicitly anti-Islam. What makes you think the book supports it?

Ok. Why is the most sympathetic character in the book (Rediger) a Muslim, why does Francois feel reborn after converting, and, why is Ben-abbes shown in an overall positive light?

Was. Didn't you read the Paris Review? He says he finally read Quran and it was "pas mal" which is high praise in french. And then he says that he tried but couldn't become a practicing Catholic but feels like an "arrangement" can be made between Catholics and Muslims.

Basically he did a 180.

>>10228399
he might be onto something
