"I also now realize, with brutal clarity, that in the progressive hierarchy of identity groups, Muslims are above gays. Every pundit and politician -- and that includes President Obama and Hillary Clinton and half the talking heads on TV -- who today have said ‘We don't know what the shooter's motivation could possibly be!’ have revealed to me their true priorities: appeasing Muslims is more important than defending the lives of gay people. Every progressive who runs interference for Islamic murderers is complicit in those murders, and I can no longer be a part of that team." -- Anonymous at PJ Media
Liberalism is generally hostile to Christianity and it particularly seems to dislike anyone who has strong religious convictions that conflict with liberalism. This describes every devout Muslim on the planet.
At first glance, the liberal approach to Islam makes no sense whatsoever.
Liberals go on and on endlessly about a war on women and Islam treats women like garbage. In many parts of the Islamic world, women are forced to wear burkas or veils, are given clitoridectomies to take the pleasure out of sex for them, can’t leave the house or drive without a male relative and may be raped or beaten with impunity.
Libs obsess endlessly about gun violence and constantly trash our troops when they accidentally kill civilians. In a large minority of the Islamic world (and a majority in many more fundamentalist countries), innocent women and children are considered fair game and terrorists who murder them in large numbers in places like the Palestinian territories are considered to be heroes.
The Left has gone so insane over imaginary violations of “gay rights” that liberals are in favor of driving Christians out of any profession that caters to weddings and they insist that women have to use the bathroom with men because the less than .2% of men who “feel like” women would be uncomfortable using the men’s bathroom. Meanwhile, Islam goes with homophobia the way peanut butter goes with jelly. There are a number of Islamic countries where being gay is a crime with jail or even DEATH as the penalty.
So, how can liberals continue to turn a blind eye to all of this?
As my friend Evan Sayet has explained, it has to do with the liberal emphasis on “indiscriminateness.”
They were raised to believe that indiscriminateness is a moral imperative. That the only way to be moral is to not discriminate between right and wrong, good and evil, better and worse, truth and lies because your act of discrimination – discriminating between these things might just be a reflection of your personal discrimination, your bigotries.
They were raised to believe that indiscriminateness is a moral imperative because its opposite is the evil of having discriminated. The second bullet point, and this is an essential corollary, is that indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to
indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust.
There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization.
Once you understand this facet of liberal thinking, many of the illogical things that liberals believe make more sense.
Why are American liberals so hostile to the rich? As that old quote often attributed to Honoré de Balzac goes, “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” That’s the thinking.
Why do so many liberals seem to loathe America even though we’re the richest, most successful country in history? Because the very fact that we’re the richest, most successful country in history proves we must be doing something wrong and unfair.
Why do white Americans have to be benefitting from racism and “white privilege?” Because white Americans are a majority in the United States and they’re doing better than most other racial groups.
Additionally, this way of viewing the world makes it extremely difficult for liberals to deal with Islam in a rational way. They are unable to admit that among religions, Islam has a unique problem with terrorism, violence and rape. They are not capable of admitting that there is a particular risk to bringing in Muslim immigrants. Even when a Muslim tells everyone he’s killing people because of his religion, liberals can’t acknowledge his motivation because to do so would mean that they’d have to admit Islam has issues.
Until liberals can get past their “indiscriminateness” blind spot, when it comes to Muslims, expect them to keep blaming anything and everything other than religion for the horrible things radical Islamists do.
And yet I suspect a parallel work could be written: the shallow/secular conservative death wish.
Both liberal and conservative, both people and (common) priest, are caught up in a common folly that began in the Garden.
The left suffers from severe moral vanity. They are such terribly good people and conservatives are horrible and should have no right to exist. Muslims think the same thing, especially when those conservatives have a Christian label. Muslims will gladly do the dirty work for liberals, which is slaughtering Christians.
And yet, how often has “conservatism” vied for a piece of the same pie, just with a different spin on its rotating plate?
Both are dealing with approximations which, of themselves, must still fall before a perfect God.
The only liberalism worth a hoot is that which finds its liberty in God; the only conservatism worth a hoot is that which conserves the memory of God.
No sympathy here for those in Orlando
They had to be brain dead not to realize how homosexuals are treated in muslim countries and what the muslim tenets are on homosexuality
Yet they support Hillary/Obama and the rest of the muslim loving democrats
All they are interested in is shoving their lifestyle down our throats and denying freedom of speech to those opposed to their tactics
I don’t care if some do wake up
The hell with their support
So the much maligned warrior class, white males, would "benefit" the most from a Muslim cultural take over of American society. Am I the only that sees the irony here?
Or am I out to lunch here?
Does that look familiar?
Compare chi xi stigma to this, the name of Allah in Arabic, and the two crossed swords of the Muslim Brotherhood. Keep in mind, this would have no meaning to John at that time.
And yet how often do conservatives say they have such a terribly good system, and it should not be touched by the ideas of liberals.
The whole would come into balance if it invited God to rule and reign. Several times in the Old Testament, God seems to come on the scene with what sounds like a bleeding heart liberal agenda. Remember the orphan, the widow, and not just by making it “fair for everybody” whatever that might mean in one’s political worldview. On the other hand, the same God insists on an excellent morality — don’t be cheating on your wife, don’t worship idols, etc. So what do we do with this?
Well one thing, and the relatively modern author Thomas Paine agrees, is to remember that governments are not society at large. Society at large can choose to do one thing (charity) while governments can keep order.
Rember liberalism is about mental illness! I thought the picture was liberals bowing down to the NY Times/CNN?ABC/NBC/CBS.
It would take some mashing around of the characters — without more background I would have to say case not made.
Remember the fall of mankind is the ultimate mental illness.
“it wasn’t supposed to be a Sunday picnic, wasn’t it?”.”
Wow. Not sure of the context, but it sounds like admiration for mass murder and societal destruction with no temperance, tolerance or mercy for those of opposing opinion. The words “Oh thee of little faith.” jump to mind and then the question, “Why are ye so fearful?” My answer “Because dear Lord there are those walking among us, pretending to be good when all they are is evil personified.”

Here is where Barack seems to have a hand in it. He egged on Islam; he egged on the “gay” movement.
It is like setting up a tragic event in a chemistry lab and blooey.
Marking.
LOL
You might also find yourself alone, as God visits your attitude on you to show where its faults are. "Augh, I've learned my lesson but still I seem to be suffering!"
Homosexuality is wrong; however its current practitioners are not beyond divine help and the bible is quite clear about that.
Bkmrk.
loll all you want. doesn’t change the facts or truth.
Correction: “I sense that once the liberals destroy everyone else that they will NOT be able to destroy islam,”
I left out an important word “Liberals will Not be able to destroy islam after they have destroyed the rest of us. Islam will destroy liberals because they will have given it the upper hand. Liberals don’t realize they tools for islam.
