Islam is Coming for your Dog. Also, Your Culture
Look, I don't really know enough about Islam or Muslims to have a very fine-grained view about the question of their compatibility with Western culture and liberalism (in the broad sense). Here's something I do know, however: liberals (in the narrow sense), progressives, and far-leftists simply refuse to honestly discuss or even consider the issue. Their automatic response to anyone who raises the question is: that's racist. Which is pretty much their response, in one form or another, to anyone raising any issue that might call their dogmas into question.
So, among other conclusions we can draw: the opinions of people on the left don't matter here. And won't matter unless/until they start considering and discussing such questions seriously--e.g. admitting that it is at least a possibility that some groups of people, religions, etc. might be, to at least some extent, inconsistent with our culture and/or our political system.
The left's standard responses--that's racist, you're racist, that's x-phobic, blah blah blah--are basically equivalent to: stop thinking about it and simply accept and implement our possibly-catastrophic dogmas. Chop of your kids genitals, give up your First- and Second-Amendment rights, open the borders, admit hoardes of apparently-hostile foreigners...oh and, give us your dogs...
The answer to all those things is, of course: no.
Sorry, I meant: HELL NO.
Until the left stops refusing to think, we simply can't take their positions seriously. Maybe, some day, they'll start, y'know, actually thinking about things again. And then maybe they'll convince us... But we won't know until that day rolls around...if it ever does...
Anyway, I like this guy:
