Lessons Unlearned
Just in case you didn't know a group calling itself the Islamic Thinkers Society (and yes I know that it's an oxymoron) held a demonstration in New York in which they trampled an American flag then ripped it to pieces, all the while rejecting all loyalty to the United States, even though at least some were US citizens.. They further went on to exhort other Muslims to join their cause in anti-Americanism. As usual Michelle Malkin has some excellent links to the video, WMD, and Jihad Watch.
Post Summary:
- The Fountainhead comparison
- Apathy of Islamic/Jihad apologists
- American Cult of Self-loathing
- Islamic Cult of Death
- Islamic Culture of Hatred
- Futility of most outreach
- Necessity to debate and dispute at every opportunity.
One of the best lines I ever read in a literary work was in Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead", I believe, which read something to the effect, "I only regret that to save myself I'll have to save you as well." This scenario seems increasingly likely in regard to terrorism. (Don't even get me started on immigration.) I fear that no matter what happens in the War on Terror those of us who see the problem will have to do it without the help of the "blind".
I've always been aware of the Cult of Self-loathing in the country, but was unaware as to how pandemic it had become. There seems to be an abundant supply of "Americans" who are just giddy at the thought of having new boots to lick. No doubt you've seen those in our domestic blame-American-first crowd and those that believe that we need UN authorization to blow our noses. God forbid that the US should take any action that benefited the US.
As annoying as the self-loathers are we tended to ignore them for the most part. Unfortunately, the domestic culture of self-loathing is butting squarely up against the Muslim's Cult of Death and culture of seething hatred. They hate those who are more culturally advanced and better off than them, which is just about everybody else on the planet.
As I've written before, they're brainwashed from the cradle to believe that they are Allah's chosen people and are vastly superior to all others, but they live in a world that constantly produces proof that it isn't so. The self-loathing and apathetic people of the West provide the only "proof" that exists that they are destined to dominate the planet.
The self-loathers efforts at outreach and "understanding" only serve to make us look cowardly and stupid in Muslim eyes. Especially when their holy book tells me that it's OK to deceive and lie to non-believers. The insane belief that all people are basically the same is a popular self-deception but still a luxury that we can no longer afford. Muslim extremists are people who are keen on action as opposed to deliberation. In other words, the older a Muslim is the more likely they are to be a lost cause.
The Cult of Death is literally screaming in the streets their mindless hatred, disdain for us, and their plans for world domination. The recent video from New York is a prime example. We must face the fact that people who can view this video and the horrific execution videos and not be moved are lost causes. They're too far gone.
Most people just shrug it off and go about their business. Yet, another luxury we can't afford. Their insane beliefs must be debated at every opportunity, not so much to convince to them the error of their way, but to provide the dissenting viewpoint to those who might be listening, especially the young, and more especially young Muslims. They don't call it the impressionable age for nothing.(More below)
