DENIALISTS: Their propaganda about Islam grows more desperate. |
2014-09-18 |
[SPECTATOR.ORG] The more violence that comes out of the Islamic world, the more that the Left insists Islam is a "religion of peace." The rise of ISIS has inspired Western leaders to redouble their attempts at reeducation. Appointing themselves Islamic authorities, they declare that ISIS is "not Islamic." These Western leaders are far more protective of Islam than their own historic religion. They are willing to subject Christianity to scrutiny for its supposedly reactionary teachings, even as they hold that the doctrines of Islam are flawless and beyond criticism. At Yale this week, student groups that typically sponsor critics of Christianity denounced the appearance of a critic of Islam, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on campus. Had Ali arrived to blame Ray Rice's domestic violence on patriarchal American culture, she would have been welcomed with open arms. But, instead, she came bearing a message they didn't want to hear: that Islamic culture mistreats women. As a victim of genital mutilation and forced marriage at the hands of Muslims in Somalia, Hirsi Ali is understandably baffled by the Left's enthusiasm for Islam. |

#6 One day I might try to understand why the left is so abysmally stupid and blind about the religion of peace. Just not today and probably not tomorrow. I've tried arguing with people on the left. It is generally a waste of time--sort of like "rasslin" with pigs in mud. Pigs love it and you end up getting soiled. |

#5 I've seen a deader or two, but recently I have been sent some of the most gruesome photographs I have ever seen in my entire life, of ISIS butchery of Christians. These ISIS people are absolutely evil. |

#4 Interesting that this guy connotates sissy with women. Certainly it means unmannly but that's not the same thing. |

#3 NFL commentator James Brown was applauded by the Left for his wild attempt to connect the Ray Rice incident to a sexist culture in the NFL: "When a guy says you throw a ball like a girl or you're a sissy, it reflects an attitude that devalues women and attitudes that will eventually manifest in some fashion." This is a man who has drunk deeply of the the Kool-Aid. |

#2 Were Hirsi Ali a victim of domestic violence in America, no liberal would dare lecture her on what she should and should not say. No need to - they'll just disinvite you to Brandeis instead. |

#1 Once you master the belief that "gender is cultural", "Islam Religion of Peace" is small change. |
