Jenny McCartney comments on Martin Amis's contentious remarks

The columnist Jenny McCartney reflects on an enduring  polemic fuelled by English novelist Martin Amis's repeated remarks linking Islam to terrorism. "Amis described his own remarks as 'a thought experiment' ... . Yet the lingering notion of an entire community's culpability sporadically crops up among Amis's 'urges', ... . There is a world of difference between encouraging a minority community - and what a mercurial concept 'community' can be - to help defeat terrorism originating from fanatics within its ranks, and holding it communally accountable for that terrorism. ... The tentacled concept of communal culpability was precisely what plunged us in Northern Ireland into sectarian squalor for nearly 30 years. Individuals found themselves reinterpreted, frequently against their will, as crude symbols of their community. ... Contentious religious and political ideas are like live explosives: you have an obligation to handle them responsibly."
