Islam and Leftists

Post by PaulSacramento »

John Wright on why the left "loves" Islam:

This part in particular made me say "Hmmmm"...
According to this theory, the reason for the Leftist affection for Jihad is fear, and the reason for their contempt for Christianity is lack of fear. He explains it thus:

One religion is supremely tolerant and loving. It tries to encourage non-rabbit behavior, to help people, but it accepts everyone’s right to freedom, and its followers tolerate almost any sin within their communities, short of violent crimes. You can insult their God, to the faces of their followers, in their church, without the slightest fear for your immediate safety.

The other religion is violent, intolerant, and when it finds rabbit behavior, such as homosexuality, adultery, or sexual precociousness among children, it will often respond with violence any civilized person could hardly imagine. Adulterous women and gays are stoned to death. Daughters dating the wrong boy are honor-killed, without the slightest remorse. In some heavily Muslim countries, children are brought out to see court-ordered punishments in the town square, where the severed hands and feet are tied to large posts to warm the crowd up for the main event – violent beheadings.

Even those who merely say the wrong thing about the religion may find themselves beheaded in the street. Wholly innocent people who have done nothing have on many occasions been killed by various means, ranging from shootings, to suicide bombings, to flying 747s, hijacked and plunged into their buildings. These innocent victims have died not only without having committed offense, but often without even knowing who it was who killed them.

One religion is held in utter contempt, while the other receives freely groveling praise and welcoming admiration. Which is which?

Again, rabbits don’t grovel before Muslims because they think it through, and decide to appease the people who could kill them. Rather, their mind touches violent Islam tentatively and experiences an almost imperceptible shot of fear – in rabbit-speak, a triggering. Their brain then looks at the facts of the matter, and subconsciously realizes that embracing Islam as superior, is the least amygdala stimulating of the various thoughts running through their head. Far less stimulating than insulting or opposing Islam and being killed, and far less than consciously groveling at the feet of people they intellectually acknowledge reviling, to save their own lives. If they embrace Islam and believe their own embrace is true, they can even claim to be intellectual, moral, and tolerant, all best described as anti-triggering concepts in the rabbit’s mind.

Here, once this feat of mental gymnastics occurs, you enter a strange realm. Their initial jump to the counter-intuitive position has already been established in their mind as not due to some deficit of intellect, but rather due to the immensity of their intellect. At that point, the more counter to logic the position embraced by the rabbit, the more they see it as a mark of their tolerance, evolved-ness, advancement, and superiority over the more base, primitive, stupid, caveman-like tendencies of their opposition.

One my family member once told me that Muslims just behave according to the Old Testament :shock:
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

in some ways they do.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.
