It’s official: Atheists now occupy a lower place than Muslims in the “progressive stack,” meaning that in the Sacred Church of Equality, Muslims are now considered holier than atheists.
If you doubt my assertion, riddle me this: When was the last time you heard a Muslim accused of “infidelophobia”?
Superstar atheist Richard Dawkins recently had an upcoming radio appearance canceled by a listener-funded radio station in Berkeley, CA, a city whose primary purpose these days is to ban things considered sinful to progressives. In justifying their ritualistic shunning of Dawkins, KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley cited “hurtful” comments from Dawkins such as the time he called Islam “the greatest force for evil in the world,”

At this point, I'm not sure whether Muslims or Blacks (regardless of their religion) occupy the highest rungs among the Left's favored class of people (the only indisputable fact is who is at the bottom rung). What is clear is that neither Muslims and Blacks are ever accused of "racism", "misogyny", "anti-Semitism" or "homophobia", even when they perpetrate acts of violence against other allegedly oppressed groups of people. Everyone else's interests - whether it's atheists like Richard Dawkins, feminists, homosexuals, and even other racial/ethnic minorities must get out of the way and make room for the Muslim and black agitators at the top of the liberal totem pole.
As far as blacks being at the top of the victim pyramid, at least that makes numerical sense. If you can lock in 12% of the voting block by pandering to them, it's an understandable political strategy. But Muslims are only 1% of the US population, and they aren't particularly wealthy compared to other Left-leaning voting blocks. You'd think that the Left would be worried that their support for Islamism would alienate more numerically numerous feminist college girls or more affluent homosexuals or liberal Jews, but it doesn't seem to be so. Is there more to this than the squeakiest wheel getting the grease? Is it Saudi money at work, or are Muslims just the best current avatars for the Left's agenda of Multiculturalism?
The one clear goal of leftists is to tear down the existing order and to become the powerful elitists ruling the new order.
Muslims also exist to tear down the existing order and to rule over the ashes of what is left.
The oil money does great things to advance the tearing down of the West.
Muslims are just being used. Once they have outlived their usefulness, the left will crush them.
I agree that such a hierarchy exists, but I don't think it was a planned rational act to deal with the problem of sub groups having nothing in common. Rather I think it was an unplanned consequence of craven hive-thinking of those who desire to look smart and morally virtuous but are not particularly smart or moral virtuous. I note that before the 9/11/2001 the Left afforded no protection status at all to Islam. Now that Islam is terrorizing Western society more successfully, the Left gives them respect out of pure moral cowardice. They are afraid of offending Muslims, and afraid of letting others speak freely lest they offend Muslims because they are afraid of being attacked. But like the proverbial Ostrich with its head in a hole to avoid danger, they rationalize their cowardice as tolerance.
Or, if Muslims reach a critical mass in a population (as they are doing in Europe), they will crush the Left along with all other non-Muslims.
You may be right. I used to think that the hierarchy was a tradeoff between who could give the most votes vs. who had the most lobbying money, but the Left's support of Muslims above (almost) everyone else defies any rational explanation.
There are times when evil men with evil intentions are able to mislead much of the public; but playing to their irrational projects by assuming they are somehow elevated by their ridiculous pretensions is a mistake.
That these people are indeed driven by neurotic compulsions, see What Drives The Trump Haters?.

I think its the other way around. The Left is afraid of Islam and wishes to appease it. But of course Islam intolerantly demands complete submission from the entire world to its backwards dogma--and backs up its demands with violence and force and lies or any other thing at its disposal. If the Left wins, they will be like the "Whore of Babylon" in the book of Revelations who rode the Beast and was then consumed by it.
Amazing. The commies at Pacifica radio KPFA declaring war on Dawkins and the Atheists. This is more fun than when sister station KPFK fired the car show for being insufficiently Marxist.
Time to get the popcorn ready.
It will never happen. They aren't even a fly on the left's back.
Remember, the West defeated Islam in 1571. The left took out Christianity/Western culture in barely over 100 years. Something Islam was never able to do.
I think you should read American Communist planned chains of events published in the late nineteen-teens through the nineteen-thirties and then get back to us again regarding whether it was planned today or not.
One thing that Muslims and other Third World people can do consistently is outbreed Western people - your typical European household has 0-2 children, your typical Muslim family will have 4-5 (and at a young age). They can take over nations through immigration and by having children. They can become a numerical majority the political power without firing a single shot.
You know that the Left is fully in control when they can spend their energy not on attacking conservatives but on attacking fellow Leftists for lack of ideological purity. Reminds me of Stalin's show trials for fellow Communists.
But, the fact is, that societies with low birth rates are voting for their own extinction.
The atheists didn’t knock down the World Trade Center
Until after 9/11, US Muslims were actually more likely to vote for Republicans than most other ethnic/religious minorities because Islam is very socially conservative. Democrats never tried hard to convert them as a minority victim group because the votes and money weren't there.
However, there's more to their newfound love than just moral cowardice. The Left has come to regard Muslims as willing and sometime capable soldiers in the fight against a common enemy: Western Culture. Leftist thinking seems to be that anyone who attacks Americans or Europeans is an ally, regardless of social views.
“US Muslims were actually more likely to vote for Republicans than most other ethnic/religious minorities because Islam is very socially conservative.”
Do the Atheists understand that the koran marks them out for death only. They will not be given the options to convert or accept enslavement they are to be killed out of hand along with all other people not of the Book.
