"religiously motivated violence should not be analyzed — unless it is committed by Christians or Jews"

Leon de Winter is writing with wisdom on the MSM meme that the Times Square suspect is, according to their reality, "the foreclosure terrorist":

The authorities and the media reject the idea that religious convictions can drive men to violence. They need justifications that fit within their progressive worldview, and this progressive worldview is focused on socioeconomic conditions.

...

For the progressive, politically-correct authorities and mainstream media, religiously motivated violence should not be analyzed — unless it is committed by Christians or Jews. With the latter, religious violence is a sign of outdated belief systems. But when Muslims are involved, the progressive mind starts identifying socioeconomic circumstances after having been conditioned by decades of postmodern ideologies to think that way.

Since the beginning of Islam, the majority of Muslims have been living in poverty under wealthy ruling classes. Illiteracy, poverty, backwardness, and bigotry among Muslims don’t concern Islamic terrorists like Shahzad. He divides the world between the House of Islam (Islamic countries) and the House of War (us). His concern is the absolute reign of Islam on earth.

Our ruling elites have been trained by postmodern academics to think in socioeconomic models. Cultural studies have trained them in thinking that all cultures and traditions are equal and that Judeo-Christian culture is equal to colonialism, capitalism, slavery, and other vile practices.

(Wikipedia notes that “slavery was an important part of Ottoman society until the Ottoman Empire forbade the slavery of Caucasians [including Georgians, Armenians, and Circassians] in the early 19th century. As late as 1908, women slaves were still sold in the Ottoman Empire. In Istanbul, about one-fifth of the population consisted of slaves. It was Arab traders who started the trans-Saharan slave trade, exporting black slaves from sub-Saharan African countries as far back as AD 1100 and the practice carried over into Ottoman reign.”)

The elimination of the words “Islam” and “Muslim” is the direct result of the dramatic expansion of cultural relativism in schools, academia, and media, which have all been contributing to the idea that differences between cultures and ethnicities should be erased (unless these ethnicities demand autonomy and preferential treatment).

To ignore Islamofascism is to ignore that which threatens Western civilization.  We do so at our peril. 

And isn't it ironic that liberals would likely be the most victimized in a society dominated by radical Muslims?
