Liberals Are Obsessed With Islam, and it's Getting Scary

David Strom:

I am becoming phobic about anti-Islamophobic liberals. 

I am not generally afraid of individual Muslims. Unless they show obvious signs of being dangerous or are hanging around in big numbers in the manner that any group of thugs might, I'm perfectly comfortable. 

But as with any sane person, I am wary of the influence of Islam in our society, and rationally avoid areas that are dominated by Muslims, and would definitely avoid any Muslims shouting "Allahu Akbar." 

I take seriously the assertions by Imams and Islamists that they are hostile to Christians and Jews—experience shows that they are in fact perfectly serious and willing to commit violence to further their aims—and have no illusions that the goal of the majority of recent Muslim immigrants is to Islamize our society. 

I have countless clips of Muslims and Islamic leaders openly asserting that their goal is to destroy Western culture and replace it, and the entire history of Islam is one of conquest and colonization. All those TSA lines in airports exist today not just because Democrats want to make Americans suffer, but primarily because Islamic terrorists fly airplanes into buildings, make shoe bombs, and plot to kill Westerners.

Western liberals, either because they are historically illiterate or just because they are dedicated to the narrative that the West is the font of all evil, have embraced Islam with the passion of a teenage girl attracted to a "bad boy" who beats her. 

The more atrocities that Muslims commit, the stronger the attraction seems to be. After every terrorist attack, the Norm MacDonald joke rears its ugly head. ["What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?” — Ed]

Western countries are Islamizing to appease Muslims. In Germany, many schools have cancelled music classes because Muslims demanded it. Dogs are being banned in certain public places to appease Muslims. Skeptics of Islamization are getting arrested in European countries for being offensive to Muslims. A restauranteur who refused to serve Halal meat was arrested for offending Muslims. School children are being taken to mosques to learn how to pray. 

Some liberal women are—get this—converting to Islam because they claim Islam is friendlier to women and gays than Christianity. And it shouldn't surprise you that this is so; their politicians often tell them so. 

The greatest example of that in recent days is Australian PM Anthony Albanese, who was chased out of a Mosque by threatening hecklers, yet once he was safely outside, he praised the very people who called him a "putrid dog."

Some of this, of course, is self-preservation. Like the peasants who throw the baby out of the sled as they are chased by wolves, they hope that they can avoid the inevitable by throwing others out to be victimized by the ravening mobs. 

But a lot of it is genuine sympathy. They view anybody with skin browner than theirs, as many Muslims have, as "victims" to be elevated to holy status. It is self-flagellation. It is a form of reparations, although for what exactly I cannot say. 

At some level, it doesn't matter. We can't convince liberals to look the truth in the eye. We simply have to defeat them.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING: Mamma Mia! Italian Anarchist Couple Blow Themselves Up While Trying to Engineer Mass Casualty IED. “If you don’t find this case nauseating enough on its own, take a look at how Pakistan TV, that nation’s official state-owned English news and current affairs channel, framed it. We often rail against our Democrat propagandist mainstream press, but this is truly special: it was a ‘tragic accident’ that just so happened to strike a lovely couple who were just ‘preparing a protest.'”

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” is the proper framing.
