2. What an utterly bizarre site!
Edited on Sat Apr-17-10 02:01 PM by LeftishBrit
I *cannot* work out whether Quigley is a far-right-winger cynically masquerading as a socialist to gain socialist support for collaboration with the Right; or whether he's simply a nut who does consider himself as some sort of splinter leftist. However, he is certainly virulently Islamophobic, and this is reflected in vicious anti-Palestinian sentiments, as well as sympathy for Geert Wilders and even to some degree for the BNP ('The dogmatists on the so called Left are condemning the BNP. Yet the BNP is the only party I know of which supported the right of Israel to defend its country against Islam and Hamas in the war at the turn of the year!') and most consistently in support for Karadzic and other RW Serbs against Bosnia and Kosovo. He has articles referring to the 'Srebrenica hoax'.

Interestingly, the virulent anti-Bosnian sentiment is one thing that he has in common with another pseudo-progressive, with very different views on Israel: Alexander Cockburn.

No, I don't go for the SWP sites either - they are mostly nuts.
