The culture and values of islam are NOT in accordance with those of the West. As I've said before, as long as muslims are allowed to live in the West, there will be violence. Better to simply get rid of them than to allow further contamination of our culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-45633482102997158722017-03-03T15:44:28.906-05:002017-03-03T15:44:28.906-05:00Ironically, while following up your reference to G...Ironically, while following up your reference to Georgetown, I found <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/townhallcomstaff/2017/03/03/muslim-wsj-reporter-visits-georgetown-to-explain-why-she-voted-for-trump-shocks-students-n2292833" rel="nofollow">a TownHall.com article</a> about an appearance at Georgetown this week by a pro-Trump Muslim woman, and in the comment thread there was a mini-debate over whether Islam itself should be assigned to the "left" or "right." The speaker had described jihadis as the "far right" of Islam, while a reader argued that they should be considered part of the left, since they advocate an "all-powerful" state. A bigger scandal at Georgetown was an appearance by an apostate Muslim (converted to Christianity) who spoke out against sharia law. This talk was denounced in advance as "hate speech" in a student newspaper and led to protests as well as the resignation of the head of the Campus Republicans who invited the speaker. You don't have to be an expulsionist to condemn that crap.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-35450762172620064302017-03-03T12:27:39.663-05:002017-03-03T12:27:39.663-05:00That is one definite marker.

Most of the left defends islam, regardless of the fact that islam began in violence, has grown mainly through violence and muslims have been responsible for more than 30,000 terror attacks against non-muslims since 9/11/01. So yes, for the most part, when discussing islam, the left may be defined as 'pro-islam' while the right may be defined as "correct" in this particular case. This isn't my view because I support tRump. It's my view because I am an atheist and, according to the koran, I should be exterminated for being an atheist. I should think you would apply that same logic to the situation, all things considered. But hey, if you want to willingly bare your throat to an assassin's knife, that's your business. I'd much rather keep all muslims out of the West to minimize the possibility. If they want sharia law, let the foul bastards live in Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Kuwait or some other bastion of islmic "civilization".<br />But considering that some American universities (Georgetown first and foremost) are now lumping criticism of islam in with hate speech, anyone with INTELLIGENCE can see where this is going and, if you truly believe in freedom of speech, you should be standing against this bullshit, rather than condoning the people, culture and religion behind it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-37362632054027954602017-03-02T19:34:32.498-05:002017-03-02T19:34:32.498-05:00Do you now define "left" and "right...Do you now define "left" and "right" in terms of people's stance on Islam, or are there other factors? As for the President, I imagine anyone who doesn't agree with his view of himself is his enemy, and since he's the President of the United States ... you can follow the logic. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate what you do with his name, either.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-49348211116980116372017-03-02T17:58:51.523-05:002017-03-02T17:58:51.523-05:00When tRump calls the press "enemy of the peop...When tRump calls the press "enemy of the people", I'm guessing he's more likely referring to the extreme leftist bias the press has had now for quite some time. Even Fox is slanting more and more to the left. They refuse to talk about the increasing number of muslim attacks across the globe. Is it because they're afraid of the repercussions? Or is it because they feel they are personally safe from jihad and, if so, why is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
