Ann Coulter, Incomplete Muslim

You've probably heard of (if not already seen) Ann Coulter's infamous TV appearance (timed to coincide with her latest book -- what a striking coincidence that is!), in which she claimed that Jews need "perfecting" -- that is, they need to become Christians.

Of course, the first Crusaders believed that as well, so they "perfected" the Jews of Jerusalem by burning them alive in their synagogues.

But I digress.

It's not, however, her notorious anti-Semitism (which has been pointed out by David Brock among others) that I want to discuss here. It's her logic -- and the consequences of it.

But first, take a look at what she has to say (and the delightful way she gets bitch-slapped by Donny Deutsch):



Still with me? Stopped vomiting yet?

Now, Coulter thinks that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians since, in her opinion, the New Testament takes the Old Testament one step further and is the culmination of it. Therefore, by her standards, a Jew is merely an incomplete Christian.

And yet, Muslims believe that Islam is the perfecting of both Judaism and Christianity, that the Koran takes both the Old and the New Testaments one step further and that Christians and Jews both need to be "perfected" by converting to Islam.

Therefore, Ann Coulter is an incomplete Muslim. As well as an idiot.
