Go read the whole thing.The narrative of victimhood comes easily to followers of Islam. They constantly bemoan the prejudice they have to endure and the oppression they suffer in the bigoted western world, where Islamophobia is supposedly rampant. Every terrorist atrocity, every blood-soaked massacre is justified by reference to imagined grievances.But by far the greatest persecutors of other faiths are Muslim hardliners themselves. The great Caribbean writer VS Naipaul once described Islam as “sanctified rage”. The proof of those words has been graphically illustrated by a growing catalogue of barbarities committed by Islamic militants against Christians, none of them more shocking than the mass murder committed in a Catholic Church in Baghdad at the end of October, when 58 people were gunned down during an act of worship. “All of you are infidels,” said one of the killers before opening fire on the congregation.
This kind of lethal oppression against Christians is happening all over the Muslim world. In Nigeria there has been a spate of attacks on Christian churches and clerics. In the Philippines, 11 people were injured this week in the bombing of a Catholic chapel. The totalitarian nature of Islam, which is as much a political ideology as a religious creed, means that freedom of worship is drastically restricted for other believers.
One Pakistani woman, Asia Bibi, is now facing the death penalty for the crime of blasphemy after she allegedly insulted the prophet Mohammed. Asia Bibi says she did no such thing but only tried to defend her faith when Muslim co-workers on a farm accused her of being “unclean” and tried to convert her to Islam.
Yet western political leaders, through a mixture of cowardice and denial, have refused to challenge the Islamic culture of persecution. In any other sphere, they make an absolute fetish of their devotion to the causes of equality and anti-discrimination.
If Muslims were being gunned down and bombed in western mosques by Christian fanatics, there would rightly be a tremendous outcry and Christians themselves would react with horror and fury at what was perpetrated by twisted zealots in the name of their faith. But the entire political establishment remains silent, continuing to pretend that Islamophobia is the real threat to harmony.

There was a bomb explosion in a Florida airport?
I heard on the news that it was just an aerosol can.
Was that a lie?
They do play the victim well... Until they get control, they they start the slashing and the acid attacks.
Guess it was just some gun carrying passenger's luggage exploding? But if it had happened in the air, we'd have a tragedy on our hands.
are you saying that Muslims get away with murder!!!!
how do you like the new LA CC - Sharia - speech law...posted it - geeeeeeeeeese!!!
C-CS
I have a theory.
its been ruminating for a few month in my noggin.
most of the resident sceptics/athiets or secularist agnostic types will probably think its drivel,
but pastorius, and CS you might think it has some merrit
here it is.
for decade after decade from the inception of israel as a re-consitiuted nation the game has been played in the west that there is a cycle of violence going on in the middle east.
a basic refusal, to see what actually animates the conflict
to see that in actuallity the violence is a one way street aimed at israel with defensive measures going back the other direction only becuase of offensive action by the muslims.
to para phrase will smith in men in black "dont start nuthin, wont be nothin"
most of you here I suspect are in agreement so far with this catagorization.
the fact of the matter is PC has been going on long long before liberals and leftists foisted it on us intra nationonaly. it was being practiced internationally for many decades.
the pc allways has a habit of making the bad guy the victim and thr real victim the bad guy.
no thought has really been given in the lead up through the last 50 years as to what israel has faced becuase of islams absolute militancy and desire to destroy all that is unislamic.
so heres where I loose the athiests.
what if god decided that what israel was going through with barely any friends supporting it, and many many western nations actively hamstringing israel with the false meme of the ccyle of violence and disrespect and denigration of jewish culture while excusing the arab muslim culture all its transgressions,was bullshit.
and the time had come for the west to walk a mile in israels shoes, so to speak. and so the gears turned and the evil of leftism allowed greater and greater immigration of muslims into europe and the united states,
so now we have to experience the false meme of "the cycle of violence, and the never ending grievance theatre of victim islam allways getting violent over manufactured false slights insults and injury.
we are all to soon about to see a worldwide hot war, intifida so to speak.
but it has escaped the confines of the holy land and is now going to plague our house.
becuase we would not harshly and permanently help and allow israel to destroy thier enemies once and for all so a real peace, (like we knew once the nazis were destroyed or the imperial japanese were destroyed) and true finalization of our war was accomplished.
see what im getting at? and it isnt apocolypse,
its actually light at the end of the tunnel
true recognition and a sweeping consensus which finally shames the opposition to silence of the actual threat islam poses and what must be done about it will have to be reached.
all things come to an end and all things come to a reconing.
so in the end we will need to deal with this menace or fall becuase we refused to allow israel to deal with the menace.
anyone want to pick that apart besides the god and cosmic justice doesnt exist crowd? and tell me where I might be going wrong?
im a little tired working late so some of that is a little off, try to read into it and past my mmistakes.
the jist is its gods will. we are all in the boat with israel now.
and its now going to be a solve it or sink moment becuase we didnt help when we should have.
the bully thats allowed to pick on the loner outcast or smallfry will allways be emboldened to raise the bar of who is next.
sort of like the old story/refrain when they (nazis) came for x I didnt do anything becuase I wasnt x and eventaully there was no one left to and they came for me.
native englos are experienceing that now, there arent any jews left for themuslims to kick around.
same in france ect.
RC, I think that the jihad has come to the world and the world instead of rallying to Israel's side will throw Israel under the bus and Israel will have no friends and thus go it alone w/G_d.
Note the Greek Orthodox church.
Good essay.
Rumcrook,
It makes sense to me, and it is Biblically sound.
As Exodus says,
"I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
I, being one who does believe in evil and good, can understand what you are saying without having a godhead pulling strings. One human ideology is inherently evil and regressive. It alone is responsible for the chasm.
