When It Comes to Islam, Western Leaders Are Liars or Idiots
Frontpage ^ | July 26, 2016 | Raymond Ibrahim

When it comes to the connection between Islam and violence against non-Muslims, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in the West are either liars or fools, or both.

No other alternative exists.

The reason for this uncharitable assertion is simple: If Islam was once a faraway, exotic religion, today we hear calls for, and see acts of, violence committed in its name—or the name of its deity “Allahu Akbar!”—practically every day. And many of us still have “ears that hear and eyes that see.”

It’s no secret: Muslims from all around the world and from all walks of life—not just “terrorists” or “ISIS”—unequivocally and unapologetically proclaim that Islam commands them to hate, subjugate or kill all who resist it, including all non-Muslim “infidels.”

This is the official position of several Muslim governments, including America’s closest “friends and allies,” like Saudi Arabia and Qatar; it’s the official position of Islamic institutions of lower and higher learning—from Bangladeshi high schools to Egypt’s Al Azhar, the world’s most prestigious Islamic university; and it’s the official position broadcast in numerous languages on Islamic satellite stations that air into Muslim homes around the world.

In short, there’s no excuse today for ignorance about Islam—especially for those in positions of leadership or authority. Yet it is precisely they who most vehemently deny any connection between Islam and violence.

On the other hand they are idiots, because they believe they will be spared, once their countries are overrun and in ruins. They even think they might be rewarded.

The question is WHY??? This is what I truly do not understand. Why would they lie about the obvious threat? I just don’t get what they are hoping to accomplish.

Useful idiots never think about what will happen when they are used up.

Hillary’s top aid is a Muslim Brotherhood spy.

Hillary is that close to becoming President.
