There are times you just reblog.
But for those who I have come to call Europe’s regressive-left how could Islamist tyranny—such as burying women neck deep in the ground and stoning them to death—possibly be anything other than an authentic expression of Muslim rage at Western colonial hegemony? For don’t you know Muslims are angry? So angry, in fact, that they wish to enslave indigenous Yazidi women for sex, throw Syrian gays off tall buildings and burn people alive? All because… Israel. For Europe’s regressive-left—which is fast penetrating U.S. circles too—Muslims are not expected to be civilized. And Muslim upstarts who dare to challenge this theocratic fascism are nothing but an inconvenience to an uncannily Weimar-like populism that screams simplistically: It is all the West’s fault.
It is my fellow Muslims who suffer most from this patronizing, self-pity inspiring mollycoddling. And just as American Muslims, with some reason, fear becoming targeted by right-wing anti-Muslim prejudice, British Muslims are being spoon-fed regressive-left sedatives, encouraging a perpetual state of victimhood in order to score their petty ideological points against “the West.” In the name of cultural diversity, aspiration is being stifled, expectations have been tempered and because Muslims have their own culture don’t you know, self-segregation and ghettoization have thrived.
Finally, on July 20 the British Prime Minister David Cameron mustered the political will to deliver a comprehensive speech setting out the UK’s approach to tackling the long rising tide of theocratic extremism in our communities. At last, Cameron named and shamed the Islamist ideology as a major factor behind the rise of such extremism. As founding chairman of Quilliam—an organization that seeks to challenge Islamism though civic debate across political divides—I was proud to have played a role in advising Downing Street on some of the core messages for this speech. I did this despite my being a Liberal, and not a member of the Prime Minster’s Conservative party. I did this because extremism affects our national, not just party-political, interests.
The Guardian, it seems, was not happy. Rather than react by providing much beleaguered feminist, gay or ex-Muslims with a crucial platform—as one would expect from a progressive newspaper—they featured a doting interview with the UK front-leader for the Islamist extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) complaining about the Prime Minster’s speech. HT wishes to resurrect a theocratic caliphate, in which—according to its draft constitution available online—they would execute “apostates.” They also believe in ISIS-style medieval punishments, such as stoning, amputations, punishing homosexuals, and approving of slavery in principle. I should know, for 13 years I was on the leadership of this group, serving five of those years as a political prisoner on its behalf in Egypt.
The left are working on Troika logic. That is, that when you are on a sled with wolves chasing you through the Russian forest the Soviet throws off someone to keep the wolves distracted (and fed) while they escape. They want the Islamists to destroy Christendom, thinking they can use the conservatives and the believers as cannon fodder, and they will be preserved.
But we know better. We will not be their shield.
Things are changing. The mainstream is beginning to think that Syrian young men are not refugees, but a threat. There as been too much violence: the infection is too virulent to ignore. And they are going to where the militant right is at present.
This is probably part of the first wave of cuckservative infiltration into the milright group to highjack and neutralize like they did with the Tea Party.
I doubt it. The Jews in Europe are legitimately scared. And by scared, I mean a significant percentage are fleeing for Israel. The mil-right will never accept Establishment leaders the way the Tea Party did, but we don’t reject temporary allies even if they don’t share our nationalist rationale.
The times are a tad too interesting. We must take confidence: indeed the rejection of the progressive memes that lead to destruction is a sign of hope.
But neither be in the elite, nor follow their memes.
And is probably better to not be where the crowds are.
