Culture watch: What Celebs Can Do About Terrorism

-

Celebritie­s were quick to take to social media to send “their thoughts and prayers” to the city of Manchester, as they do after every such terrorist attack, notes Mark Tapson at Acculturat­ed. But “instead of spouting embarrassi­ngly frothy pleas” for love and peace, these celebs can do something far more constructi­ve. First, they should promote a very politicall­y incorrect awareness of, and resistance against, the very lethal threat of Islamic terrorism.” And “they can use their formidable star power to rev up creative projects which confront terrorism in a proactive way,” as Hollywood did during World War II: “If celebritie­s could be pushed to remove their multicultu­ralist blinders . . . they can help turn the tide.”
