The Left And The Cartoon Intifada

From The Astute Blogger:

Post-modern Leftists in Europe are critical of the cartoons and supportive of the Islamic reaction to the cartoons. Their reasoning is simple: they say the cartoons were too provocative, and all cultures shoud respect one another since all cultures are functionally and structurally equivalent - (the basic presupposition of cultural relativism).

These Leftists are REALLY saying, essentially, that the Muslims right to practice their religion the way they want to practice it (without any depictions of their prophet - and including their right to threaten non-believers --- who obviously have no such proscriptions) - TAKES PRECEDENCE over our own culture's freedom of the press and our inherent right to freedom of expression.

What this means - in all practicality - is that they value the tenets of Muslim culture more than the tenets of own their own culture.

They are willing to subordinate our own practice of universal human rights, to the Muslim's anti-humanitarian theocratic totalitarianism.

WHY DO THEY FEEL THIS WAY?! WHY ARE THEY MORE DEFENSIVE OF ISLAM THAN THE WEST!?

SIMPLE:

The post-modern Left is anti-West, and anti-Judeo-Christian.

WHY?!

SIMPLE:

They've been brain-washed to believe that Third World poverty is the result of First World colonialism and imperialism - (as if the Third World was once rich or would have been rich if the West had never "interfered" with them).
