the other day i was thinking about the abrahamic faiths with judaism as like the conservative bedrock, christianity as the radical deterritorialization and islam as the balanced completion
someone at college gave a khutbah along these lines - but i think more entrenched in a discussion of morality vs legality where the gospels and old testament/talmud play the parts respectively and islam being the one that unites the both

"zizek is a liberal" - parroting of a parrotthere is really no difference between zizek and jon stewart. zizek just caters to a more bookish market
yeah that's a good way to put it. if people just treated him as a left-leaning funnyman rather than The Most Relevant Social Theorist Today then it wouldn't bother me at all.
he might not be the most relevant, but he's very relevant despite a few flaws in his thinking. i still haven't read anything where someone entirely dismisses the intellectual rigor of zizek's thought without either engaging in an extremely uncharitable reading of something out of context, or simply coming from a lack of knowledge in lacanian (and hegelian) theory - and an unwillingness to learn/bias against psychoanalysis in general. usually it's simply a flat and cretinous condemnation without any substance i.e. babyfinland's favorite school of criticism.

i think he occasionally says some interesting things interspersed among the incomprehensible and the self-parody like his tedious movie reviews

after reading adrian johnstons book, the real zizek comes across as totally deflated and impotent. this is most evident when he interacts with other thinkers in his books, its either to rip them off or to turn criticisms of him into "oh but thats what i meant see, yeah". so hes totally useless on his own as a "thinker", but via his popularity hes gained currency as a symbolic figure

i dont criticize other peoples faiths, and dont take this as any sort of comment on christianity, but from within my own faith anything less than the immanent realization of the divine attributes through adherence to the sacred law is incomplete faith
