Why Has Islam Become the Darling of the Left?
Just Me
libertarian holding something in contempt (like communism) the left-
knee jerk reaction is to
conclude that since nothing on the right can be right, there must be
something holy and left-like in what is being detested from the right?
Or beside just that, which must be a part of it, can it also be all
balled up with left-wing multiculturalist ideology? Of course, because
as multiculturalism is taught it is received by the propaganda
susceptible left-leaning mind with all the honor due to Great Learning
and Knowledge. And as one learns it, a strong conceit is taken to
heart and mind over it, giving the student an elitist sense of being
in the know concerning a code of esoteric thinkiing that is not given
to the mass of the great unwashed, whose minds are presumed to be
grimy with the filth of every manner of ill or uneducated prejudice.
Little would such a student know that he has just traded one prejudice
for another! And now as he looks out into the world to see people on
the right holding all of Islam in none but the most complete contempt,
he can only arrive at the conclusion that ethnocentrism and prejudice,
not knowledge must stand as the basis for such condemnation.
But this results in none but the most absurd of all paradoxes. It is
not that the Leftist has studied the Qur'an and gone in whole hog for
the doctrines, laws and teachings of Islam, not at all! For had they
done any such study they'd be in for one hell of a bad case of
doctrinal confusion over this for which they lend such passionate
liberal support. Rather, they do not engage such study because for the
most part that Leftist is an agnostic, if not a full bore atheist, who
for his own use rejects all religion as a lot of primitive
superstition unworthy of study, on top of which he or she is often
like to be a complete sexual libertine who wants nothing to do with
the morality being taught by any religion.
So it is not what Islam IS that gains the sympathy of the Left, it is
to the contrary what Islam is NOT: Islam is NOT loved by the non-
Islamic Religious and Libertarian Right. Therefore it is to be pitied
and hugged, like a tree or an endangered bug. And though this
mistreatment from the Right would be enough for those on the Left to
shower their sympathy upon the people of a religion they know nothing
about, or least of all care for in its beliefs and moral tenets, there
is somewhat more to it!
The multiculturalist morality which demands of the Liberal that he or
she should never stand in judgment of a culture not their own, CLEARLY
does not extend to the culture that IS their own. The multculturalist
left sees NO reason to extend a policy of nonjudgmentalism to
Christianity and Judaism. That would be like incest and nepotism,
viewed from the perspective of the multiculturalist agenda. Only
cultures not their own get the blank check, the Get Out of Jail Free
card. In other words, so long as it is not something or someone from
their very own Occidental culture, it must stand above judgment and
criticism. And how do they manage that in view of such atrocities as
this . . .

They will look at the disfigurement of that girl's face and say, "This
is the work of *fundamentalist* Islam, and it is not the practice of
moderate Muslims anywhere." As the facts come before their faces to
make a stinking mush of their multiculturalist soup what do they do?
They deny that what they see has anything to do with Islam properly so-
called. Hence, this is not the work of Muslims. It is much more like
the work of the Judeo-Christian Right, or so they would have it, by
applying the "fundamentalist" label to the horror before their eyes.
But what they don't look at is the fact that there are no such
abominations in the news as practiced by the fundamentalist Jewish and
Christian Right. Mostly all these killings and mutilations come into
the news from the culture of Islam. There is for this reason something
seriously wrong with the Liberal attempt to remove these unspeakable
cruelties from the picture of Islam that is painted by them. It is
there for all to see, and no sleight of hand characterization of
"fundamentalist" can crop or edit it out.
If there were indeed such a thing as "moderation" in Islam, even to
the least degree such that it had a power to affect the religion as a
whole, we would not be seeing these pictures . . .
No, we would not be hearing those reports. In order to find such
atrocities being practiced with any such-like currency in the Judeo-
Christian world you'd have to go back to the witch burnings of Salem
and the Spanish Inquisition. Thankfully, somehow, such a thing as
'moderation' did at long last come into being in the realm of
Christendom, and it would seem to have taken the better part of these
three hundred years since Salem to have shown itself for "moderation"
in the truest sense of the word; a moderation of the sort that is
effective to moderate, to loosen the strictures of the religion to the
extent that such outrages against humanity cease to be the production
of that religion.
As yet, there is no such moderation to be seen in Islam. As yet it is
firmly under thumb of the forces which demand such practices from the
faithful. The forces of moderation are not there to stop it, to take
the blight of it away from the face of the religion as a whole. It is
for this reason it must wear the veil. There is much to be hidden and
kept from sight.
And how did such moderation actually come into force with
Christendom? It came from without the religion. It came from the
Enlightenment of the 18th Century, whose torch bearers for Reason took
up the texts of the religion to read it critically and declare, This
is NOT the religion that its founder taught! And no words could have
been truer than those.
Unfortunately, for Islam the same can NEVER be said.

No one detests liberals more than a rock-solid Islamic fundamentalist.
In fact, liberalism is the biggest enemy of orthodoxy and fundamentalism of
any stripe.

Heh-heh. Read on to discover how by saying THAT you could not have
more thoroughly steppied right into the trap.

Libs have abandoned their old pals the Jews to some extent (some
still hold on and always try to defend everything Jewish) because
of the stellar rise of ZioNaziism and glaring support by most Jews
of ZioNazi Israel's genocide against their non-hebrew neighbors.
Kevin MacDonald was once a dyed-in-the-wool, card-carrying
'60s liberal who schmoozed with the Jews, visited Israel, the
whole bit. Being a man of conviction, he began to see the
scum for what they are. Now the ZioNazis have him on par
with their other whipping boy, David Duke, for having the
temerity to actually speak the truth about the ZioNazi.
