"I also now realize, with brutal clarity, that in the progressive hierarchy of identity groups, Muslims are above gays. Every pundit and politician -- and that includes President Obama and Hillary Clinton and half the talking heads on TV -- who today have said ‘We don't know what the shooter's motivation could possibly be!’ have revealed to me their true priorities: appeasing Muslims is more important than defending the lives of gay people. Every progressive who runs interference for Islamic murderers is complicit in those murders, and I can no longer be a part of that team." -- Anonymous at PJ Media
Liberalism is generally hostile to Christianity and it particularly seems to dislike anyone who has strong religious convictions that conflict with liberalism. This describes every devout Muslim on the planet.
At first glance, the liberal approach to Islam makes no sense whatsoever.
Liberals go on and on endlessly about a war on women and Islam treats women like garbage. In many parts of the Islamic world, women are forced to wear burkas or veils, are given clitoridectomies to take the pleasure out of sex for them, can’t leave the house or drive without a male relative and may be raped or beaten with impunity.
Libs obsess endlessly about gun violence and constantly trash our troops when they accidentally kill civilians. In a large minority of the Islamic world (and a majority in many more fundamentalist countries), innocent women and children are considered fair game and terrorists who murder them in large numbers in places like the Palestinian territories are considered to be heroes.
The Left has gone so insane over imaginary violations of “gay rights” that liberals are in favor of driving Christians out of any profession that caters to weddings and they insist that women have to use the bathroom with men because the less than .2% of men who “feel like” women would be uncomfortable using the men’s bathroom. Meanwhile, Islam goes with homophobia the way peanut butter goes with jelly. There are a number of Islamic countries where being gay is a crime with jail or even DEATH as the penalty.
So, how can liberals continue to turn a blind eye to all of this?
As my friend Evan Sayet has explained, it has to do with the liberal emphasis on “indiscriminateness.”
They were raised to believe that indiscriminateness is a moral imperative. That the only way to be moral is to not discriminate between right and wrong, good and evil, better and worse, truth and lies because your act of discrimination – discriminating between these things might just be a reflection of your personal discrimination, your bigotries.
They were raised to believe that indiscriminateness is a moral imperative because its opposite is the evil of having discriminated. The second bullet point, and this is an essential corollary, is that indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to
indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust.
There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization.
Once you understand this facet of liberal thinking, many of the illogical things that liberals believe make more sense.
Why are American liberals so hostile to the rich? As that old quote often attributed to Honoré de Balzac goes, “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” That’s the thinking.
Why do so many liberals seem to loathe America even though we’re the richest, most successful country in history? Because the very fact that we’re the richest, most successful country in history proves we must be doing something wrong and unfair.
Why do white Americans have to be benefitting from racism and “white privilege?” Because white Americans are a majority in the United States and they’re doing better than most other racial groups.
Additionally, this way of viewing the world makes it extremely difficult for liberals to deal with Islam in a rational way. They are unable to admit that among religions, Islam has a unique problem with terrorism, violence and rape. They are not capable of admitting that there is a particular risk to bringing in Muslim immigrants. Even when a Muslim tells everyone he’s killing people because of his religion, liberals can’t acknowledge his motivation because to do so would mean that they’d have to admit Islam has issues.
Until liberals can get past their “indiscriminateness” blind spot, when it comes to Muslims, expect them to keep blaming anything and everything other than religion for the horrible things radical Islamists do.
They will sooner or later...look at Lebanon, look at Europe, look at London’s mayor. Their number will increase, they will get into office and our world will “fundamentally transform”.... Just as it has here with our resident Muslim.
Many believe the antiChrist will emerge from islam.
BTW, islam didn't start with Mohammed. Mo merely gave it new life and form. It has been around since the before the flood.
It started with the fall of Satan and the Watchers.
the tendency can be simplified.
To separate the radical islamists from the whole requires creating a profile, making decisions that discriminate.
To have such a rational approach toward homogenious Islam logically leads to the homogenious Black Community.
The homogeneous Black Community is the very foundation of leftist political control. Separate the mythical Black community into the actual multifaceted subcultures and it is all over poltically
The big lie of Black Culture must stand at any cost....... including allowing radical Islamist wackos to murder Americans
Stalin Hitler Pact
The twin towers of TOTALITARIANISM - Marxism, Mohammedism - tower above all other gangs. These head-case criminals do not go away by incarceration. Witness history. Witness current events.
That's exactly what it boils down to.
I think it has to do with the fact liberals love everything that’s the opposite of the West and more particularly, Christianity and that explains why they view Islam in a flattering light - because Islam opposes it as much they do.
Once you understand it, liberalism’s Islamophilia begins to make a great deal of sense.If Muslims loved the West, Christians and Jews, liberals would be their enemy. To the extent Muslim hatred of those groups coincide with liberal hatred of them, their mutual alliance of convenience falls into place.
Liberals have no great love for tradition or conventional values and for the moment, even though Islam is pretty reactionary, it helps liberals in dismantling Western civilization. After its gone, liberals and Muslims can fight each other over who gets to lead the post-Western world.
In hindsight, liberals remind me of the last willing victim fed to the crocodile. Because they can’t see evil, in the end, for all their hard work, they will get their richly deserved comeuppance. The liberal utopia they think they’re building, is not long for this world.
I pray for them to know Jesus or depending on my mood and the news of the day, I pray for them to come to Jesus one way or another. Our laws allow individuals freedom of religious affiliation while islam (Mohamed’s caliphate) demands submission to islam and the islamic caliphate (their vision of the future) or death. Free from the threat of death by islamic fatwa, many would turn to Jesus and Jehovah, Yaweh, God and islam would fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. (psalm 37)Others would be too fearful and cling to what they’ve known rather then come to the Lord.
Their hatred of things is often too irrational and contradictory to the values that they espouse to be a simple matter of their liberal nature. Their fondness for Islam is a great example. Islam is all kinds of antithetic to American liberalism. It is the modern manifestation of the medieval Christian practices that they are so fond of infusing into their anti-religious rhetoric. They worked so hard to reform the Christian church into a more tolerant and less brutal religion which has been fairly accepting of them in the past couple of decades only to embrace the most zealous, radical, and brutal religion on earth. it makes no sense. It is illogical. I can only see one reason why they would adopt such an attitude and that is, they embrace them because we shun them. Honestly, we ought to embrace Islam. We ought to fight to get as many of those crazy mother fu***rs over here as possible. And, as a matter of fact, if we lose this election, that will be my new attitude: embrace Islam ...just for the liberals. The same for Mexicans and drugs. I will embrace all the plagues of Egypt...for the liberals.
It is, quite simply, Stockholm Syndrome on a national scale.
Of course eternity is always present as it has no beginning and no ending, acknowledgment of it is not always present. People hear God, yet ignore God. I’m guilty of such, not seeing what is before me and I have missed out on many great gifts God placed before me - took a while to realize this and acknowledge and praise God for the gift of reflection upon that which was placed before me and I avoided and missed out on. Eternity kind of like Infinity #8?
liberalism is a self centered philosophy everything makes sense when you realize that most liberals have maybe five things that are important with one or two items that are all important. the typical activist is only concerned with a subject like gay rights and is only concerned about what’s happening in how it effects themselves. yes it is horrible that they are throwing gay people off towers in the Arab world but that’s not happening here what’s more important is that my Christian neighbor does not except my gayness and is teaching there kid that according to there religion it is wrong. they refuse to photograph my wedding and they dared to suggest some one else down the street.
Or am I just old fashioned and completely wrong..???
Alas, the ability to delude ourselves is the profound trait of the nature of men. All of us can fake ourselves out to some degree. But when a bunch of people get together, particularly liberals, this trait is multiplied, not added.
Yes, I see what you mean.
It’s amazing that leftists’ heads don’t explode from the pressure of all the conflicting views they hold.
A grown man claims to self-identify as a woman, and wants to use the women’s locker room, exposing himself to little girls, and that’s supported by the leftists. It’s his right, and that belief MUST not only be recognized, but celebrated by society!
But a muslim declares his allegiance to isis, as he’s slaughtering innocent civilians in a terrorist attack, and the leftists just can’t figure out why it happened, so it must mean we need to ban guns.
Incredible.

Trayvon Martin = Michael Jordan
Liberals want to be top dog ... have the power over everyone else.
Liberals pick and choose who they allow to exist in society
Liberals even lie to themselves, that’s how they can live with one another
Liberals hate one group and will defend all others who would take out that group. That hatred is aimed at the Christians... They know Christians have a different look, a different belief, a different way and we are a threat They disavow/ignore the islam threat because they hate the Christian group more.
Liberals won’t believe what you tell them islam is. They won’t believe it because islam “is the enemy of my enemy”. When islam shows their true colors, the liberals either ignore it or blame the victim. It won’t hit home to the liberal until it becomes a personal attack.... on them. And even then they will somehow make it so it’s their enemy’s fault.
Watch them... they flinch at a hard right Conservative Christian. They can’t stand that there is such a thing and will defend anything or anyone who is anti-hardrightConservativeChristian. Sorta like the devil incarnate whose goal was to kill God/Jesus Christ so he’d have the preeminence place in the universe of life.
And that's what allows them to demonize, and eventually dehumanize, those with whom they disagree.
And that's led to most of the greatest mass-murdering, genocidal governments every on the planet.
