"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.
They fear Muslims more than they fear gays.
Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
I think the beheading *could* represent Islamic terrorism. But I also think that the mark of the beast (the end time beast power) is not going to be Islam. I think it's going to be a powerful backlash against Islam that ends up being worse then Islam.
I got into it the other night on FB for some insane reason with a woman who is just completely Libtard nuts. She was defending an article in Salon that says the Orlando shooting was not due to a Muslim problem but a problem of “toxic masculinity” They will go through any contortions to not just admit Islam is a dangerous and unacceptable theology.
An interesting note regarding Obama’s recent attack on gun ownership in the Orlando massacre: Obama claims the instruments of destruction were guns, therefore to reduce the violence, access to guns must be removed.
In the case of Orlando, the terrorist also had explosives and communicated to the police he was booby trapping 4 hostages with explosives to the corners of the building, he would collapse it if they attempted to enter.
Let’s say liberals get their way and remove legal gun ownership from the situation. Obviously, it would NOT have reduced the violence in Orlando, but would have likely increased the violence, as the criminal would have resorted to high explosives first, rather than firearms.
I call these progressive drones “the Hive” They are not individuals but part of a bizarre consciousness.
The interesting note, is that Obama must be losing his connections with those also in power. He stumbled into this without thinking through the consequences.
The Muslim terrorist’s use of IEDs is an obvious substitution for firearms.
Dude the bars closed at 2:00AM.
And I would just add, that being the Tolerant ones (even when your enemy poses an existential threat) is part of a liberal’s very identity. So anything that challenges that identity can not be heard or accepted - it poses an existential threat to the liberal’s self.
Unfortunately, for every one that is starting to realize it, there are at least 100 of these (probably closer to 1,000), who are literally incapable of comprehending it:
Liberals and Muslims have a common enemy: God Who is Christ Jesus.
In the 90s, they heavily promoted ‘self-esteem’ (remember those ‘self-help’ books?), now it has morphed (or went even deeper) into the sh!t hole. Now every snowflake's feeling (mostly imagined) has to be address as yet another crisis, to the point that all others’ rights need to be infringed and suppressed outright.
The above observation has nothing to do with the liberals’ affinity to moooslems, just that they don't have the gonads to face their own fear, let alone outside ACTUAL threats.
Simple. Liberals hate God and serve Satan. Liberals and Muslims serve the same master.
All that old stuff is racist! /s
Toxoplasmosis.
Liberalism is simply insanity being lived out.
Which is the enemy, the devil.
Thank you, Douglas. Rev 20:4. Islam is a tool for this satanic one world religion.
The Left has bought into this as the basis for a new world order, as well as a nuance of the Jacobin/Marxist/Bolshevik/Nazi fallacy. They are desperate that the world's now well over a billion Muslems, not become an impediment to that new world order.
This is a gross over-simplification, but it goes to the essential point, without the need for a several million word, multi volume dissertation on examples of the grossest injustices done to many along the path in pursuit of the evil objective. Understanding the damage done to many groups as well as individuals, by the cult like frenetic efforts to suppress "discrimination," helps get to the bottom of this. So is understanding the frenetic pursuit of Diversity, which is actually a way to destroy the natural diversity of the species..
Of course, the greatest damage that has resulted from this compulsion often falls on those that are imagined to be the beneficiary of the antics. No group needs compulsion driven "friends," desperate to suppress understanding of the real factors in any situation. What is destroying the West are the perfectly predictable results of fantasy & compulsion driven projects.
“Once they win that fight, they will destroy Islam too.”
I agree that is the plan, but my guess is the ending will not go as planned. The crocodile may eat them last, but it will eat them.
