“43. Paul of Alexandria:
blotto (35):
DonnaV: Okay so is it a pathology or is a conspiracy? Why is the Left entering into a relationship with a religion (paradox right there) that wants the death of western civilization? What is it that caused Obama, Reid, Kos, HuffPo, Dowd, Hollyweird et al to align themselves with people who will eventually behead them?
Well, to begin with I’d recommend reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
IMHO:
1) The secularist progressives don’t have any real faith of their own and refuse to acknowledge that anyone else truly believes what they preach. Therefore they cannot believe that there is truly a threat. After all, any reasonable person believes in “live and let live”. No reasonable Muslim would force his belief on anybody else, so as long as they keep it in their own segment of society it’s not their problem.
2) They also hate Christianity inherently, because Christians give them no breaks. People want – and Islam, above all other religions delivers – a nice, succinct set of rules to follow. So long as you follow those rules you are ok, no matter what else you do in the meantime. Christians, on the other hand, demand that all of your actions conform to the dicate “Love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself”. Islam allows a wide variety of perversions (pedophilia in particular is very widespread under Islam) just so long as your surface life follows the rules. Christianity looks in all of the nooks and crannies and demands utter (and, of course, unachievable) perfection.
3) Finally, Christianity’s only comfort is something outside of themselves, and the progressives cannot stand to be told that they are not the cream of society and the last word in humanity. The only thing that they want to acknowledge outside of themselves is the “in” crowd, who tell them how great they are. Even of you aren’t a jihadist, Islam offers you acceptance no matter what you say or do, provided that you follow the 5 Pillars.”
Thank you, you win the “bingo” award!
The moonbats that embrace Islam anywhere will be like their counterparts during the Soviet takeover . . . loved by those churning the pot, but when they are in power, they’re the first to get the bullet to the back of the head or a fourth class ticket to the Gulag.
And they are so stunned . . . “Why is this happening to me? I supported them, damn it!”
Can you imagine what Maureen Dowd will be thinking as they tie her to the stake and begin the stoning?
“Oh no, this is real, this is really, really happening to me, and . . . ow ow ow, that hurts!”
