Wow. This sums it all up the best I have ever heard yet!

At the micro level...it would like telling a battered spouse or child to "try to understand the abuser"...and for the courts to "reward" the abuser to make him feel better about the abused. After all, nobody would beat the crap out of you without it always being your fault!

So let me get this right. The liberals don't want anyone to violently abuse others, yet it's ok for Islamofascists to do that and we should try to just be nicer to them and they will stop.

Bwahhaa! Conversation from earlier this week with a friend:

Me
" What we're seeing and feeling we're internalizing as it being perhaps prejudice and discrimination, when it may really be much less sophisticated than that. It is fear and intimidation. For me these feelings started welling up earlier this week and I shunned them as the beginnings of my own prejudices. Until a friend and I had a chat about a completely unrelated topic.

The topic was about an abusive relationship. A narcissistic personality and how it poisons a woman into submission. A women will stay in that relationship until one of two things happen. She dies or decides she has had enough and gets out. But to get to that decision she has to be afraid for her life/children, she has to be angry enough to overcome her fear, she may even come to terms with hate.

Thinking about all the nuanced platitudes from Imams, suicide bombers, threats, and now demands for submission to the first of sharia laws feels a lot like that narcissistic relationship. And that I think is what I am feeling."

Response:
"I'm just ANGRY at this point. Not a good idea to piss off a whole generation of menopausal women. I'm sitting on my hands so I won't do something I'll regret later. You're right, it is very similar to kicking out a violent, controlling husband. I've been there, done that and the feelings are approaching the same place. Woe unto them."
