Europe now, but leftists and organizations like CAIR would love to see it here.

I think a lot of this "anti-bullying" talk and regulation is an attempt to take us in that direction. criticism = bullying = hate = crime = jail.

And yet the typical classification of Christian teachings on homosexuality as “homophobic” will never be considered “denigrating religious teachings.” I will never understand why the left will so vigorously defend Islam, the most misogynistic, “homophobic,” and rabidly “right-wing” religion in the world, and then turn to attack with equal passion the exponentially more peaceful and tolerant Christians. And in so doing they describe Christianity in words which would fit in every detail the religion they passionately defend, Islam. Very strange.

I’ve no doubt you’re right.

It started sometime back with PC and has gotten to the stage now of making rules and passing laws to regulate, it’ll get worse.

Yes, and the left would be some of the first to be targeted for many of their actions if they lived under Sharia Law.

Probably because the leftists are inspired by Lucifer and hate Jesus Christ.

They’re not too keen about us Jews, either.

What shocks me is how many claim to be Jewish but are really Communists.

Well, I’m Jewish and I can assure you I am not a Commie. Neither is Jonah Goldberg, Mark Levin, or David Horowitz.

I am not sure I understand where you’re going with this.

It doesn’t have to be - if enough of us can tolerate the hatred and threats from the clueless. I’ve lived and worked in a Muslim country and learned their language; nobody can refute my experience. If they choose to label me without the benefit of the same type of background, that’s their loss.

I’m not so sure.

There is more to why the left wants to destroy opposition to Shariah law. I don’t know what that something is, I can’t put my finger on it, but I know there is more to it.

To quote Orwell’s 1984:”I understand how: but I do not understand why?”

On the other hand, the answer could be this, and if that’s the case, God help us all:

(From 1984 by George Orwell)

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”
