The last month and a half has    brought multiple terrorist attacks to the UK alone. The last    few years have seen a dramatic rise in the frequency of these    attacks both abroad and on our soil. On Tuesday there was an    attempted suicide-bombing in Brussels.  <\/p>\n<p>    Sadly, many of us are adjusting to the idea that this is    becoming just part of our day-to-day life, and we just need to    get used to it. It is unfortunate that we have no way of    identifying the threat and preventing the attacks. Its too bad    there is no common factor that links these attacks together.    Its too bad these murderers pledge allegiance to only    themselves, showing their devotion to being a lone wolf. It is    good, however, that we can rule out one possible cause. Not    only have we heard it from the left and their media, but before    each violent slaughter, the attackers usually shout This has    nothing to do with Islam.  <\/p>\n<p>    Now, I already see you scrolling to find the comment section    and telling me what an intolerant, hateful, racist,    Islamophobic, bigot I am. Well, you can go ahead, but Ill    clarify the pertinent point: I am not advocating hatred or    discrimination against Muslims or Middle-Eastern People, at any    time, for any reason. However, I am advocating an honest    conversation about ideologies and systems of government without    being censored. There is no question that there is an    overwhelming number of Muslims who are not violent or evil.    There is also no question that those countries with a    centralized, Islamic government rooted in Sharia law violate    human rights on a regular basis and desire domination of the    west to establish a world-wide Caliphate.  <\/p>\n<p>    The wests hesitancy to discuss the ideological flaws of Islam    shows yet another success of the lefts ability to control the    narrative. For obvious reasons, when you look at our countrys    history, being called a racist is one of the most damning    labels on a societal level. The left knows this. They do their    very best, and are usually successful, in finding a way to    label all of their political enemies racist in an attempt to    shut down or derail the discussion, even if the discussion has    nothing to do with race. This is especially true when trying to    have a discussion about the dangers of Islam. It is easier to    just continually attack someones character than it is to    defend an ideology that you know is indefensible.  <\/p>\n<p>    I want to quickly address a few myths perpetuated by the left    regarding Islam. First, that the number of Muslims who exercise    a literal translation of the Quran is insignificant. According    to Pew Research, a significant majority of Muslims, who dont    necessarily live in a place with institutionalized Sharia,    support Sharia law as an effective legal code and favor harsh,    capital punishment for the infidels that violate the tenants of    Islam. Here are just a few examples:  <\/p>\n<p>    There are roughly 81 million Muslims in Egypt, which means over    71 million people support Islamism and capital punishment for    violating Islamic code in Egypt alone. Billions of Muslims    worldwide support genital mutilation and the literal caning of    women in the streets for speaking to a man that isnt her    husband, and support repressing other womens rights including    driving a car or owning property, as well the extinguishing of    all political and religious minorities, and the public    execution of LGBT people. Why do the same progressives,    feminists, and social-justice warriors who claim to care about    perceived oppression, bigotry, misogyny, and homophobia in the    United States close a blind eye to the heinous injustices in    Islamic countries?  <\/p>\n<p>    Keeping those statistics in mind, Id like to address the other    non-sequitur coming from the left: the idea that ISIS is    comparable to the Westboro Baptist Church or the KKK. The WBC    consists of about 12 inbred people, and the idea that the KKK    is still thriving in America is a fantasy. In addition, a basic    study into the teachings of Christianity will show you why this    is lunacy. These groups act in direct opposition to the    teachings of the Bible. While the Old Testament is filled with    one-liners that you could pull both in and out of context,    what Islam apologists fail to realize is that the Old Testament    is not the governing rulebook for Christianity, the teachings    of Jesus Christ are. For Christians, Jesus came to fulfill or    complete the Old Law, and the actions taken by these small    numbered radicals are certainly in conflict with His teachings.    Christian churches across the globe are not preaching in    defense of the WBC or KKK, they in fact preach the literal    opposite. On the other hand, Sharia law and the violence and    jihad it encourages is formed directly from instructions in the    Quran and the Hadith, and is supported and preached daily to    billions of followers.  <\/p>\n<p>    By refusing to see Islams role in the imploding of the Middle    East, as well as the dangerous spread of terrorists to the    west, the left prevents the reform that Islam needs. Unlike    Christianity, which Islam apologists will continuously make    illogical analogies to, there has never been a reform to Islam.    While the medieval era featured Christianity as a political    ideology, separation of church and state is a core tenant of    the Judeo-Christian founded West. While the number of    Christians in any given society may be the majority, the    practicing of faith is mainly done in private, in homes or    churches. No major Islamic school of thought has sought to    separate the private spirituality of its members from the    public Islamic state. Islam, as many Muslims practice it, is a    totalitarian ideology. In their eyes, there can be no    separation.  <\/p>\n<p>    On another interesting note, leftists will go blue in the face    telling you that Islam has nothing to do with the atrocities    literally committed in its name, and then in the same breath    tell you that Donald Trump is responsible for every crime    committed by white men since he has been on the campaign trail    because of his dangerous and hateful rhetoric. Those are some    impressive mental gymnastics.  <\/p>\n<p>    Youve heard the saying the enemy of your enemy is your    friend. This has led to many nefarious partnerships throughout    history, some recent examples include the Republican Party with    Donald Trump and the modern-left with Islamism. We are seeing    Republicans bend their principles at will to Trumpism, and we    are seeing the left begin to normalize and mainstream violence    towards those with whom they disagree. It is easy to forgive or    overlook someones flaws if you feel that youre working    towards the same goals. The left believes the ends justify the    means. The left discourages and represses free-thinking. The    left preaches a deep hatred of the western Judeo-Christian    society, traditions, and values. So, why is the left directly    preventing the much-needed reform of Islam? They certainly    dont want to admit it, and I know this sounds extreme, but Id    encourage you to think hard on this proposal: leftists    are more ideologically aligned with ISIS than they are with the    Americans on the other side of the aisle.  <\/p>\n<p>      Like Loading...    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/beinglibertarian.com\/left-dishonest-islam\/\" title=\"Why is the Left so Dishonest about Islam? - Being Libertarian\">Why is the Left so Dishonest about Islam? - Being Libertarian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Last week marked the one year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
