How many more Americans will have to die at the hands of Muslim terrorists before the Left admits that Islam is at the core of the security threat facing the United States? How many more will be sacrificed by our leaders on the altar of multiculturalism?
If anyone needed a display of the power political correctness has over a liberal, they only had to watch the president's initial response to the Orlando attack as he assiduously tip-toed around the religious elephant in the room, acting like it was a murder mystery, ignoring the shooter’s allegiance to the Islamic State.
Later Obama lashed out at Donald Trump in a way that suggested he was angrier at the presumptive Republican presidential nominee than at the terrorist Omar Mateen.
The New York Times dropped all pretense and just flat out blamed the shooting on Republicans: "While the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear, it is evident that Mr. Mateen was driven by hatred toward gays and lesbians. Hate crimes don't happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester, where minorities are vilified and where people are scapegoated for political gain. Tragically, this is the state of American politics, driven too often by Republican politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish."
All week the leftist media has trotted out the standard excuses for the Orlando massacre—bigotry, guns, Christian values, discrimination—but in most cases not the teaching of the Quran, which IS the reason Mateen did what he did.
So, why does the Left defend a religion that hates the values of the Left?
Since 9-11 I have attended anti-war rallies from London to Cologne and watched in puzzlement as the Left allied with "devout" Muslims against the "war on terror" and "Islamophobia." Don’t these leftists realize, I would ask myself, that conservative Muslims would kill them if they ruled this nation?
Why would a leftist who wants a sexual revolution and a libertine lifestyle join forces with barbaric strains of Islam where women are property and homosexuals and adulterers are executed?
Gay writer and Islam expert Bruce Bawer wrote in City Journal that the only "shock" about the Orlando massacre was that it took this long for a Muslim terrorist to launch such an attack.
Bawer writes, "Incredibly, many gays still don’t get this—or refuse to get it. They cling—mindlessly, one wants to say—to leftist ideology, which tells them that Muslims, like gays, are an official victim group, and thus their natural allies. They see Christians as their enemies—though even the most aggressively anti-gay Christians in America, namely the 'God hates fags' crowd at the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, don’t go around killing anybody."
The profound foolishness that is the Left's veneration of a barbaric religion can only be adequately explained from a spiritual basis. Having rejected God, the Left's thinking and understanding became darkened and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools (NLT, Romans 1:22).
I suspect also that Leftists who suffer the pain of spiritual emptiness admire Muslims for having a non-Christian faith to believe in. Allied with Muslims against the True God, the Left will fight against anything, including a terrorist's true motives—to keep Christianity from looking superior.
Leftists like the president think only yahoos believe in "simplistic" reasons for terrorism. The truth, they'll say, is much more complicated. Claiming to be wise…
I know that some of you think the president covers for Muslim terrorists because you believe he is a secret Muslim. But the real reason is he’s just a Leftist.
