Islam Takes Advantage of Leftist PC

Political Correctness is a path that every Westerner consciously and unconsciously has practiced nearly on a daily basis. The concept seems to know no boundaries on the political spectrum that stretches from Left to Right.

The political spectrum often determines the degree of what is politically correct. An example might be that political correctness is determined through a filter of the political spectrum. That which is politically correct seems to be determined more by what is politically incorrect.

A Right Winger might feel politically incorrect extrapolating a goal from which is outside defined rules and defined conduct. A Left Winger might feel politically incorrect forced to extrapolate a goal solely on defined rules and defined conduct rather than discovering a potentially better goal that might be formed by the “now” situation of the collective will. The Right Winger is fine with change that falls within the parameters of perceived absolutes. The Left Winger is fine with change that falls within the parameters of relative realities which is felt to constantly evolve.

The society that seems to survive is one that has achieved a balance between perceptions of the absolute and relativity. When one totally squelches the other, society tends to unravel. So it is not as important to determine which is better between absolute and relativity. Rather what is important is to recognize a balance needs to be discovered between the absolute and relativity.

I am not suited to write a philosophical treatise on the effectiveness of a society balanced in the absolute and relativity. Rather I am writing this hypothesis that drives both scientists and philosophers nuts. This hypothesis is based on gut feeling.

My gut feeling is that Western society is out of balance. As a Right Winger I am guilty of believing that relativity coupled with politically correctness is way too dominant. This kind of political correctness dilutes morality to the point that the bad and ugly far outweigh the good. This kind of political correctness blinds society into accepting practicing ideologies (secular and religious) that are inimical to the progress of Liberty and Freedom in the West. This blindness has affected leadership in the West by allowing ideologies in the name of Liberty and Freedom which actually destroy Liberty and Freedom.

A Left Winger might view this unbalance as the intrusion of the concept of the absolute resisting the evolution of the collective into a better society. I’m a Right Winger not writing a philosophical treatise so I am not going there.

There are probably a number of paths my unscientific subjectivity could lead me. I could complain of the Western ruling elites wittingly or unwittingly focused on making the faith of Christianity irrelevant furthering progress of a Left Wing utopian multicultural and diverse harmony. (Interjection: sounds like an oxymoron, does it not?) This would take me down the path of removing Christianity from the public forum in addition to including alternate lifestyles (such as homosexuality) as morally acceptable to a normal society. The thing that is on my mind at the moment is a short Bill Warner essay I read entitled, “Questions for Every Muslim”.

Warner writes about how political correctness has failed American society (by extension include the West). Political correctness places the powers that be into an uncomfortable zone when it comes to asking the correct questions to ascertain an answer beneficial to American society.

America’s Muslim minority is beginning to go Mohammed medieval in American society. There are cases of honor killings that the government and the MSM have been reluctant to label as honor killings. This denial has the potential of placing a young Christian convert (aka Muslim apostate) in danger by forcing her to live with her Muslim parents.

Homegrown terrorism has been on the rise in America which the Bush Administration had been lucky enough to nip in the bud in most instances with the public having little to no knowledge of. Notice more and more of these instances of Islamic homegrown terrorists are coming into the public eye. The MSM have been reluctant to label obvious acts of Islamic violence as associated with the teaching of Islam.

The Ft. Hood Massacre exacted by Muslim-American citizen Nidal Hasan is an example. Muslim apologists have been quick to label Hasan’s massacre as the act of a singularly disturbed man. Muslim loving Leftist (Diversity don’t you know) apologists have gone to great length to back the disturbed man profile. The more scrutiny into Hasan’s activities prior to his murder of kafir (Allahu Akbar) demonstrates he was guided by classic Islamic principles.

There are many Islamic incidents in America. The most recent was the capture of Muslim-American citizens in Pakistan looking for terrorist training to come back home seeking to follow Hasan’s path of killing non-Muslim Americans. Ultimately this is following the example of Islam’s purportedly perfect human being – Mohammed the blood thirsty prophet.

Political correctness and the Leftist misguided utopian concept of diversity actually are allowing Muslims following the example of Mohammed to plan the demise of the American Constitutional experiment. With this in mind Warner puts forth a series of questions for Muslims that he feels might pass the muster of the need for political correctness. Warner believes the questions are unintrusive as to not offend the Muslim mind yet should draw obvious conclusions to comprehend that Islam is diametrically opposed to American concepts of Liberty and Freedom.
