And The Bulwer-Lytton Blogging Prize Goes To...

A few days ago, I wrote about the Bulwer-Lytton literary parody prize, which is awarded annually to the contestant who submits the very worst opening sentence of an imaginary novel. I suggested we could have prize of our own for the very worst and most tortured actual single sentence in a blog post.

I think Blogenfreude may have found us a winner:

The Middle Ages, by which people mean the Christian Middle Ages, the European Middle Ages, had their faults, like any other epoch, but to call Islamofascism medieval is to equate medieval Christendom and the medieval Islamic world, a religion that gained adherents through persuasion and a religion spread almost entirely by the sword, a civilization that abolished slavery and a civilization that propagates it, a society that began poor and ended rich and a society that began rich and ended poor, a culture that was backward in the beginning and enlightened in the end and a culture that was enlightened in the beginning and backward in the end, a polity that was weak and divided and became strong and, well, divided, and a polity that was strong and relatively united and became weak and divided.(The American Thinker blog)

Beat that, if you can.
