The second they heard about the Fort Hood massacre, millions of thinking Americans wondered in their gut: "Oh God, is this another crazy Muslim terrorist carrying out a one-man jihad, as has happened so many times before?"
Then, when the alleged perpetrator's name and religion were made public (Nidal Malik Hasan, a lifelong Muslim) along with eyewitness reports he had shouted the obligatory pre-terror-attack proclamation, "Allahu akbar" ("Allah is greatest") before commencing his orgy of slaughter, their suspicions were confirmed: This was surely a major attack on the American homeland by a Muslim terrorist. Further evidence quickly rolled in: Hasan had reportedly refused to fight fellow Muslims, called the war on terror a "war on Islam," told a co-worker Muslims had a right to rise up and attack Americans, and reportedly had posted online his astoundingly twisted belief that an Islamic suicide bomber was morally equivalent to a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

They like it because one of its beliefs is that Jesus is not the Son of God. Therefore, Islam negates Christianity. And they like that.
I think that it’s because the American political class believes that muslims can be another voting demographic which they can manipulate for their benefit.
Agreed that they will side with any ideology that opposes and seeks to destroy Christianity. See tagline.
Cowardice.
The reason why the PC likes Islam is because they share the same goals with them, like Communists, Nazis, and Fascists. They are all the same thing.
What’s behind the liberal ‘love’ of islam....FEAR.
What’s behind America’s politically correct ‘love’ of Islam?
Stupidity and cowardice. These are core liberal principles.
It is possible to perceive the passions of the Left as frenzies of masochism. What could be more idiotic and masochistic than to oppose missile defense? This opposition cannot be understood unless one dispenses with its rhetoric and rationales and realizes that these folks at their emotional core do not want their country defended.The lunacy of the "global warming" hoax cannot be comprehended other than that its masochistic advocates do not want their civilization to prosper. The culture-destroying immigration policies that Pat Buchanan warns are causing "The Death of the West" were put in place by those who do not want their culture to survive.
True - they love ANYTHING that is not Christianity. The spirit of anti-Christ is behind political correctness.
I do not agree that America has this political correctness.
It is concocted by the MSM and the political class.
I'm glad this author translated the obligatory murder cry as "Allah" and NOT "God".
Although the argument is that Allah is merely the Arabic word for god, the fact is that Islam has changed the meaning of that word every bit as much as homosexuals have changed the meaning of the word "gay" from its original meaning.
The god of Islam is NOT the God of the Bible.
Since many in Western cultures have a different idea of God it is worth clarifying, IMO, that Muslims are referring to a god specific to their Arab-centric religion.
The bastard was screaming Alla Akbar during the whole massacre. Will they levy the requisite hate crimes multiplier on him?
I agree, that is the core of what drives them.
The only thing these ideologies all have in common is that they are unutterably opposed to western civ and its most prominent defender, America.
Which is plenty for a liberal. He feels the same way himself.

Truth be told Islam is more of a violent and dangerous ideology than it is a religion.
Yes, and more directly, PC is LIES. PC is the suppression of TRUTH.
Seriously, Christ is Truth. Satan is the opposite.
What’s behind it?
Masochism and insanity come to mind.
Response: It is not only Islam. All forms of social harm are not being resisted.

Depending on the definition one uses, this may not qualify as terrorism.
Most definitions emphasize the civilian nature of the target. This was a military target.
There are lots of other negative terms to use to describe it: murder, treason, betrayal of one's salt, etc.
7. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
8. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
9. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
10. and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
He still purposely picked an unarmed crowd.
Kind of a grey area between a civilian and military target there.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we’re ever attacked by Xenomorphs from outer space, Democrats will be on their side simply because America is the enemy in the eyes of the Democrats.

And that couldn't possibly be his own fault.
Couldn't be that he was an angry prick who denigrated his country to everyone around him, who like him had sworn an allegiance to serve faithfully.
I don't believe in PC either!
Is it possible that Americans are really just a bunch of rebels who delight in acting independently of a central governing force?
Go figure.
surpressed dislike of homosexuality?

I think it’s benefited by having a President who spent his formative years in a muslim country as a student in muslim schools.
I think this is a much bigger issue than, “Was he really born in Hawaii.”
The Director of the FBI and The [so-called] Attorney General should be called on the carpet and summarily fired for dereliction of duty and incompetenece!
1. Islam is not only a spiritual practice, but is also a political exercise and a governmental institution.
2. Islam is, therefore, in direct conflict with the system of law that governs our nation. It would also be impossible for any Muslim who strictly adheres to Islam as a spiritual practice, a political exercise and a system of government to swear to defend the Constitution of the United States
3. Dr. Hasan’s understanding of his faith is at the core of his dissatisfaction with his employment resulting in his decision to take up arms and commit fratricide against his brothers and sisters at arms and treason against the United States of America.
4. Unless, or until, Islam in America disavows any allegiance to the political and governmental branches of the practice of the faith, there should be no tolerance of the religion in the military. This is not due to bigotry but, rather, to the violation of conscience that results from the deeply held faith that conflicts with the Constitution and the oath to protect it.
5. Neither Christianity, nor Judiasm, nor Hinduism, nor Buddhism requires the practitioner to swear allegiance to any other form of government in order to practice the faith.
6. It is, therefore, only logical that to be a Muslim is a direct conflict of interest and a violation of conscience regardless of whether the practitioner makes the decision to take up arms against our nation or commit criminal acts.
7. To say that Dr. Hasan’s acts are not the result of his religious beliefs is disingenuous. To say that in order to not be guilty of bigotry one must overlook the obvious conflicts of conscience engendered by the practice of Islam is ludicrous and without merit.
8. It is time to speak truthfully regarding the practice of Islam. It is a religious practice that is in direct contradiction of our system of government and will continually cause strife and distress while it remains a political exercise and system of government.
9. No insult or bigotry is intended by this observation. It is a simple and direct assessment of the current state of affairs in all countries that have historically been referred to as “Western Civilizations”. The practices of Islam and Western Civilization are incompatible.

Leftists are. The are bed buddies. They import them anywhere they are needed to destroy the culture of the target country.
Thing is, it works. The real battle will come when they each have nothing to gain from using each other.
Extremely sorry for the double post — there’s something wrong with the post button.
It’s because they’re both demoniac and love evil and destruction.
I say that will all seriousness.
Liberals have other major agendas right now — they know their majorities in congress is not going to last long and they must get every last benefit from it before it ends. It’s a domestic agenda and it’s completely based on redistribution of wealth stupid!
Islamism and terror is not on their punch list and it is indeed a dangerous distraction that will derail the whole deck of marxist card they have built so carefully. Hence the whitewashing and downplaying of the real war the world is fighting against islamofascist terrorism.
True, but you also have to add the business class. In Britain, in the late seventies, the casinos catered heavily to the Arab Sheiks, as they spent lavishly and gambled away a lot of money. The MSM has many Arab investors. Mercedes and BMW are very popular among the oil rich upper class of the MidEast.
Oil companies have to cater to Muslim desires, as we don’t allow much drilling here.
ANSWER: "Satan!"
“Islam negates Christianity because it teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God. Therefore it is the natural ally of the Left.”
Slightly amended, but it is undoubtedly your thought and qualifies officially as QUOTE OF THE DAY!
Congrats.
It has all been a long time coming and by now, is an industry in America. It is the ‘Multiculturalism industry’.
It started out as a sort of casual and amusing interest in cultures and people who were quaint in their customs and unique in their beliefs and which were NOT like America. That was harmless enough, necessary to a healthy culture and even wholesome to a point.
Now it is the unquestioning, indiscriminate and habitual worship and adoration of ANYTHING which is NOT American… no matter how alien or pernicious it is in itself or to other cultures, (especially to the American culture). As a matter of fact, it is more highly esteemed and readily accepted, the more inimical it is American culture and values.
For example: Can you view a history, travel, cultural or even a cooking program which wastes NO opportunity to scorn or malign what is American? I won’t even ask about a ‘news’ program because it goes without saying that nothing accurate of positive will ever be noted about America or Americans on THOSE programs.
Think about that!
Given that he was in Texas, he might have been more likely to have had fire returned from a random civilian crowd.

Exactly.
The pols, newspapers, TV stations are afraid of physical reprisals ie, firebombs, beheadings, gunfire, etc.
