Quit trying to explain these people. They are satanic.

There is a strange but obvious affection for radical Islam by the (misnamed) “mainstream” media and (misnamed) “progressives”. They share tactics (destroy ALL who oppose or even question). To speculate as to why… I would offer both the radical Left and radical Islam’s “kinship” is a totalitarian mindset and a vitriolic hatred of Judeo-Christian values… and their source the Holy Bible. When people worship God of the Bible first and foremost, their loyalties are not primarily to the State and the all-powerful “collective” (Islam is the state). Despots from Nero to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong-un, various Islam “holy men” all the way to “dear leader” BHO (and Hitlery?)… demand and have a pathological need to be worshiped. A somewhat different take on Exodus 20:3: “You shall have NO OTHER god’s before Me”.
