Fisking Fisk

When I visited the Independent online and read the introduction to Robert Fisk's (pay to view) article "Don't be fooled, this isn't an issue of Islam versus secularism", I instinctively clicked over to the Daily Ablution to see if Scott had picked up on it, even though I know he doesn't normally blog on a Saturday.

I wasn't disappointed: "Fisk's Independent piece is so inferior, so reeks of desperate frustration, that to answer it seems required."

And answer it he does.

Incidentally, I notice via Instapundit that Fisk's been called on a number of factual inaccuracies in his book The Great War for Civilization.
