The Left’s Unilateral Suicide Pact (Heather Mac Donald)
city-journal.org ^ | Heather Mac Donald

Posted on 05/31/2017 7:52:21 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Liberal ideology conceives of “safe spaces” in the context of alleged white patriarchy, but there was a real need for a “safe space” in Britain’s Manchester Arena on May 22, when 22-year-old terrorist Salman Abedi detonated his nail- and screw-filled suicide bomb after a concert by teen idol Ariana Grande. What was the “progressive” answer to yet another instance of Islamic terrorism in the West? Feckless calls for resisting hate, pledges of renewed diversity, and little else.

A rethinking of immigration policies is off the table. Nothing that an Islamic terrorist can do will ever shake the left-wing commitment to open borders—not mass sexual assaults, not the deliberate slaughter of gays, and not, as in Manchester last week, the killing of young girls. The real threat that radical Islam poses to feminism and gay rights must be disregarded in order to transform the West by Third World immigration. Defenders of the open-borders status quo inevitably claim that if a terrorist is a second-generation immigrant, like Abedi, immigration policy has nothing to do with his attack. (Abedi’s parents emigrated to Britain from Libya; his immediate family in Manchester lived in the world’s largest Libyan enclave outside Africa itself.) Media Matters ridiculed a comment about the Manchester bombing by Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt with the following headline: fox news host suggests ‘open borders’ are to blame for manchester attack carried out by british native.

Earhardt had asked how to prevent “what’s happening in Europe, with all these open borders, they’re not vetting, they’re opening their borders to families like this, and this is how they’re paid back in return.” Pace Media Matters, a second-generation Muslim immigrant with a zeal for suicide bombing is as much of an immigration issue as a first-generation immigrant with a terrorist bent.

Father is a jihad loving “refugee” from Libya who never should have been let in. Yes, Manchester bombing is a 2nd generation “open borders” issue, the idiocy of the west’s immigration policies for decades. If the father had not been let in the suicide bombing son would not have had the opportunity....

MediaMatters scum think they are so clever mocking FoxNews but they are the idiots (MM).

Another Pop-Up streetside memorial, more flowers for the trash crews to hall off, more votive candles burning, more Kumbaya hand-holding.

That will teach the muslim savages a lesson!

The problem is the liberals want to take all of the rest of us with them on their suicide pact.

Islam is evil. It cannot be reformed.
The only hope for civilization is the extirpation of Islam from our societies.

We know liberals are liars and their butt boys in the press cover for them... but why's this happening?

Quid sibi ratio

It's got to be more than cheap labor... Is this frenzy intentionally attempting to make life miserable for traditional citizesn so they'll accept 'loss of rights' in exchange for being 'protected' from the people corrupt elites are bringing into the country? Is that the motive? Is it that sicK?
