The ancient Greeks knew what makes Donald Trump tick

MercatorNet

Yesterday I wrote an article arguing that Christians should not be afraid to convert Muslims in Western societies. Today Chiara Bertoglio (below) mourns the death of a humble 85-year-old parish priest in France, murdered at the hands of ISIS terrorists. And today, as if on cue, an editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal with a Muslim background, Sohrab Ahmari, tweeted that he was becoming a Catholic. Interesting. 
Also in this issue, Zac Alstin analyses Donald Trump as an example of a choleric temperament, a psychological classification invented by the ancient Greeks. AndSiobhan Lyons explains why academic writing so often appears to be sheer gobbledegook.

I was about to post out the newsletter when news came through of a fresh atrocity by foot soldiers for ISIS in France. An 83-year-old Catholic priest was celebrating morning Mass in a town outside Rouen when two men with knives burst in, took several hostages and slit the throat of the priest. The terrorists were shot dead by police.
How are we supposed to react to such appalling and irrational violence? I've offered one long-term solution in my article below: convert the Muslims.
