“The secularist are fools who think they’ll be able to control Islam.”
Actually you are somewhat mistaken. Islam is “The State on Steroids.” Thus the left are ideologically much aligned with them. The left sees Islam as a logical extension of “The State.” Islam’s murderous philosophy is of little importance to “The State.” Those on the far left in our nation will be just as murderous, see Saul Alinsky, as is the Islamic State. They are not that much different.
I was mostly speaking of the elites who somehow imagine their heads won’t be on the chop along with the common sheep. Sorry if that wasn’t clear enough.
That said, secularist in the West have a fixation, a hostility to Christianity, that frequently blinds them to anything else. Many probably actually believe that Islam can be tamed by their cultures. It’s about dechristianization with them, not civilazitional suicide. They may be basing that folly on how Muslim countries, these there is no significant internal opposition to the dominance of Islam, produce theological backslidden and therefore seemingly less abhorrent regimes.
But this is, as I said, folly. The people they are inviting in are not backslidden, they will not be in lands where Islam is unchallenged so even those who ARE backslidden will not remain so as Muslim numbers swell. This includes many Muslims who have hitherto been civil within non-Muslim societies. Those Muslims who resist, who fancy themselves free, are in arguably even greater danger than secularist and they too are engaging in folly if they are not already deeply engaged in taqiyya (it sometimes seems impossible for outsiders to know who isn’t, but rest assured the faithful Muslims aren’t so easily fooled).
Like cancer, Islam seems harmless enough in the early stages. By the time you notice it’s frequently too late.
Progressivism is, as far as Islam is concerned, an ideology that is militantly against ever having a proverbial colonoscopy. The disease that will kill us all festers up their proverbial asses.
... oddly right where many have their heads....
Agreed! Certainly it is not too popular to be a strong Christian on social media etc. The things people say lead me to believe that there are a large percentage of people in the western nations wbo would love to see religion banned. Islam is the devil’s patsy to get at the real target Christianity. All monotheistic religions are being portrayed as evil and anti humanist and the facebook generation seems to be all too willing to take the bait.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. The radical left is against the death penalty, whereas ISIS is for summary executions, which the radical left does nothing to stop, so long as they don’t have a trial with due process and a sentence.
