More Fun With Leftists

A nice bit of frothing moonbattery from former New York Times bureau chief, hater of the West and terror apologist Chris Hedges.  A little background on our sniveling tool (Allah calls him sniveling too, there really is no better word for him).  Hedges is ranting about three former Muslim radicals who have become Christian and are speaking out against jihadists, he claims they and many Christian groups want to "purify" the world by eradicating Muslims...he basically Godwin'd himself in the title.  So, let's have some fun and pick out some choice quotes,

These self-described former Muslim terrorists are regularly trotted out at Christian colleges -- a few days ago they were at the Air Force Academy -- to spew racist filth about Islam on behalf of groups such as Focus on the Family.


Emphasis mine, question to the dumbass leftist, since when is Islam a race?

So let's see what other choice quotes we can find...

They tell their audiences that the only way to deal with one-fifth of the world's population is by converting or eradicating all Muslims.


Uh-huh.  He any links with quotes to back that up? Video?  He's referring to Walid Shoebat, Kamal Saleem and Zachariah Anani, three former Islamic radicals who speak out against radicalism.  Shoebat is the only one I'm familiar with, but never seen any of them call for mass conversion or eradication.  But given that this assclown somehow reads race in a religion, I'm guessing there's no proof of any of his claims, he's just chasing Zionist Neocon windmills.

Shoebat, who has written a book called Why We Want to Kill You, promises in his lectures to explain the numerous similarities between radical Muslims and the Nazis, how "Muslim terrorists" invaded America 30 years ago and how "perseverance, recruitment and hate" have fueled attacks by Muslims.


Does he deny those connections?  Ties between the Nazi regime and radical elements of Islam are well documented.   I also like this bit of sniveling anti-Semitic whining,

Bush described the "war on terror" as a war against totalitarian Islamofascism while the Israeli air force was dropping tens of thousands of pounds of iron fragmentation bombs up and down Lebanon, an air campaign that killed 1,300 Lebanese civilians.


Iron fragmentation bombs...has anyone ever noticed, whenever a liberal talks about weaponry, they tack as many superfluous descriptors onto whatever weapon they're talking about as humanly possible?  Like when you see a news report, its not simply a semi-auto AK or AK clone, its (in alarmed newscaster voice) a high power, rapid fire, semi-automatic Kalashnikov AK forty-seven assault rifle *breath* with military features like a collapsing stock *breath* pistol grip for firing from the hip, bayonet mount and high-capacity magazines *gasp*. 

In any case, what's this douchebag bitching about?  What do you think is going to happen when jihadis put their weapons in civilian zones and don't wear uniforms or identifying marks and launch attacks?  You want the Israelis not to hit civilians?  How about you tell Nasrallah's goon squad to lay down their weapons, end their attacks, and hand over the soldier they kidnapped in the name of peace?  Or tell them to wear a uniform, mark their vehicles, and fight away from civilian areas?

The public denigration of Islam, and by implication all religious belief systems outside Christianity, is part of the triumphalism that has distorted the country since the 9/11 attacks. It makes dialogue with those outside our "Christian" culture impossible.

Chris Crocker Hedges: Leave jihadis alone!!!!  Waaaaaahhhh!!!

More fucking dialogue.  Is there anything a leftist thinks that dialogue can't do?

It implicitly condemns all who do not think as we think and believe as we believe as, at best, inferior and usually morally depraved. It blinds us to our own failings. It makes self-reflection and self-criticism a form of treason. It reduces the world to a cartoonish vision of us and them, good and evil. It turns us into children with bombs.


No, these are being turned into children with bombs.

Muslims are gonna have to deal with the abuse western critics dish out if they want any respect in the free world.  Christians, Jews and every other religion gets their beliefs trashed and mocked in the most egregious ways on a daily basis, and are constantly ripped to shreds in scathing critiques, if not outright condemnations daily.

All this dumbass is doing is infantilizing Muslims by justifying, excusing and rewarding the behavior of jihadists, which in turn encourages Muslims who would otherwise try and fit into a civil society to seek out means beyond the traditional boundaries civil society in the west provides to achieve their ends. 

Hedges is advocating unequal treatment based on religion, that Muslims should get a pass on critiques that others face in Western society.  His ranting, while amusing, is quite poisonous.  At some point, Christians, Jews and people of other faiths are gonna wise up to the fact that violence is a pretty effective means of getting what you want if we listen to people like Chris Hedges.  Not only is he woefully wrong, he and others like him are outright dangerous to free societies.
