Liberal Blindness on Islamism

From NRO’s The Corner, taking note of Rep. King’s hearings on the radicalization of Islam in America:

…King quickly made his case as the packed committee room looked on. “A number of cases since 9/11 have involved terrorists who converted to Islam or were radicalized to Islamism in American prisons, then subsequently attempted to launch terror strikes here in the U.S. upon their release from custody,” he said. “Dozens of ex-cons who became radicalized Muslims inside U.S. prisons have gone to Yemen to join an al-Qaeda group run by a fellow American, Anwar al-Awlaki, whose terrorists have attacked the U.S. homeland several times since 2008, and generally acknowledged to be al-Qaeda’s most dangerous affiliate.”

King’s pursuit, however, was not warmly embraced by Democrats on the committee. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.), the ranking member, and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas), among others, expressed concerns, asserting that the hearing was too narrow in its focus and should have broadly considered a wide array of extremist groups.

Jackson Lee, for her part, urged King to also investigate “Christian militants” and the “Aryan brotherhood.”…

This is both infuriating and depressing. Infuriating that liberal efforts at political correctness leave us vulnerable, depressing because it betrays a complete disconnect from reality. There is no terrorist threat from the “Aryan brotherhood”. That group is just a run-of-the-mill organized crime gang – it does not threaten the United States in a general sense as Islamists do. The only reason to look in to Aryan Brotherhood is to see if they are being paid by the Islamists to facilitate Islamist recruitment and terrorism within the United States. But, we can’t just go after Moslems, right? Have to have someone other than a Moslem in the mix or we’re all Islamophobes…this would be akin to giving the American Nazi Party the same scrutiny we gave the Communist Party during the Cold War – which would have been a stupid waste of resources.

But stupidly wasting resources, for our liberals, is worth it as long as we are adhering to the liberal world view. People can die, but we daren’t start acting in a rational manner…because to do so would show liberalism up to be the idiocy that it is.

Thank goodness for Rep. King – he’s doing the work which needs to be done and all of us who care about America must sustain him. You can rely on it that come next year he will be heavily attacked and the race card will be played from the bottom of the deck against him.

    If Americans left every single place where Muslims are the majority, if America threw every single Jew out of Israel, if we took our troops out of every country in the world, there would still be things that anger Muslims.

    There are Muslims who still seek revenge against unbelievers for the Crusades, for the downfall of the Ottoman Empire by the Allies after WWI, for the Reconquista, and for thousands of past insults by infidels to their religion, their prophet and their God.

    So Muslims will always be angry if there is a single unbeliever breathing on this Earth.Of all the nations on the Earth they hate America the most. The truth is Muslims do not hate us for our freedoms,as my George Bush claimed, they despise and attack us because we are the single strongest infidel nation and therefore a most formidable impediment to their goal of world domination. China’s economic clout is barely one-third that of the US. If that were reversed, if China were the 800 pound gorilla on the block and dominated the world as the US does, then Osama Bin Laden certainly wouldn’t be wasting his time on the US, it would be Chinese asses his fatwa would fall upon.

    Look at the facts: China suppresses their Muslims, but it is the US, which does not suppress their Muslims, that gets his attention.The US treats muslims better than every other country but Canada..Osama would attack China if they were the greatest infidel power on the planet, if the Chinese instead were the greatest impediment to a World Caliphate. But then would any idiot invoke the ridiculous phrase, “Muslims hate the Chinese for their freedoms?”

    Here’s the deal: America stands in the way of Muslim world domination. Whether we are a free nation or a dictatorship doesn’t matter because there are no apologies we can make, no treaties we can sign, no amount of Jews we can kill, no abject deeds we can perform, no concessions we can offer that will placate them other than our abject surrender and submission to Allah. Then, perhaps, they won’t be angry. Then, perhaps, they won’t hate us.
