If you want to practice Islam in the inconsequential, semi-secular sense. Fine. But the only way to solve this problem is to recognize that POLITICAL Islam and anyone who follows its prescription is inherently incompatible with western values.
That means:
- Want sharia courts? You’re not welcome.
- Think it’s okay to marry a 6 year old? You’re not welcome.
- Think it’s okay to strike your wife for ANY reason? You’re not welcome.
- Believe in ANY kind of punishment for apostasy? You’re not welcome.
- Believe in ANY kind of punishment for “blasphemy”? You’re not welcome.
Period. These are the kinds of values that progressives would defend
against any radical Christians who believe any of the above. And
rightfully so. So why can’t we all agree on these universally? Anyone
who holds any of those beliefs is by definition, incompatible with the
western world.
People are giving President Trump crap for calling them “losers”.
Listen, the guy isn’t eloquent, but he’s right. These terrorists fear
shame more than death. It’s why Abu Graib was such an outrage when
American, female soldiers stripped them naked and laughed at them while
dogs barked. To them, that is a far greater punishment than death or
even torture. If any American received said treatment at the hands of
ISIS, we’d thank the lord above that we weren’t being burnt alive in
cages.
We don’t merely punish terrorists through death. We punish them through
shame. At least ONE leader is willing to give it the old college try. So
today, I stand with the President of the United States, instead of
trying to mince words on social media and virtue-signal about how much
“unity” we need.
the evil that is political Islam. To unite with it’s practitioners would be to unite with evil. Anyone who sees that as a virtue is simply enabling evil and by proxy, is evil themselves.
can you legitimately imagine waking up and seeing the bombing of innocent people just to see a concert and spouting some pure vitriol like this? like how must it feel to know that you are trying to push your islamaphobic views in the wake of a tragedy like this? like maybe i’m too much of a “morally bankrupt” leftist to get it but ok
“HOW DARE YOU implicate the Communist Party in this famine which was an entirely predictable consequence of Communist policy about which we were warned repeatedly!? Don’t you care about the victims at all?!”
Look man,
I know someone with a URL like libtards-are-cancer is not gonna be the most charitable guy towards liberalism, but these terrorist attacks are ideological in nature, and they were completely preventable. Japan does not have Islamic terrorist attacks, and it is not because they work so hard to love and tolerate Muslims. Unfortunately that ship has sailed, but something different needs to be done, and it starts with acknowledging that there is no law of the universe that religions have to be equally dangerous.
