Salon Draws Moral Equivalence Between America and ISIS

Bill Moyers has written a piece for Salon in which he makes the claim that American history shows our country to be no better than ISIS. He mentions the Jordanian pilot who was burned alive by ISIS and then spends most of his column describing the lynching by fire of an 18-year-old black man named Jesse Washington, who was accused of murdering a white woman in 1916. He ends his piece by making a moral equivalence between ISIS and the “barbarians” in America’s history.

Salon – Yes, it was hard to get back to sleep the night we heard the news of the Jordanian pilot’s horrendous end. ISIS be damned! I thought. But with the next breath I could only think that our own barbarians did not have to wait at any gate. They were insiders. Home grown. Godly. Our neighbors, friends and kin. People like us.

People like us. Is he serious?

Perhaps Mr. Moyers can draw no distinction […] → Keep reading

An Evil Bigger Than Islam

The barbarity of Islam has been front and center in the news lately. The murder and beheadings of captive journalists, the savage massacres of Christians and threats against America all culminated late last week with the beheading of a woman in Moore, Oklahoma by a Muslim convert. The shock value of such actions is inescapable and leaves people wondering just what kind of person could inflict such horrible acts on another human being. What’s lost on people is that such horror has been going on all over the world for decades, with Americans being at the forefront of the butchery. And your tax dollars are paying for a lot of it.

If you haven’t already guessed, I’m referring to abortion. Since abortion became legal in 1973 there have been more than 57 million abortions in the United States and more than 1.35 billion worldwide. One of the leading providers of abortion in America is Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood provides around […] → Keep reading

Liberals and ISIS: Two Peas In A Pod

A not-so-surprising Pew Research Center Poll has shown that Democrats fear the fictional man-made global warming more than the Islamic terrorist group, ISIS. Sixty-eight percent of Democrats polled said global warming is a major threat to the U.S. while only sixty-five percent said the same for ISIS. If the ISIS terrorists read this they will be horrified to think that there are Americans who fear weather more than them.

While I was pondering the implications of this poll it occurred to me that ISIS has qualities that should appeal to those on the left. They may even want to send volunteers to the Middle East to conduct voter outreach and registration drives.

The two main things that ISIS is known for is their savage butchery and beheadings, and their attempt to wipe out Christianity from the areas which they control. If you don’t see where I’m going yet, stay with me on this.

To my mind, the butchery […] → Keep reading

Feds File Lawsuit On Behalf of ISIS-Supporting Islamists

Breitbart is reporting that the Justice Department has announced it is suing the town of St. Anthony, Minnesota, over the town’s denial of a permit to create an Islamic cultural center, claiming the denial broke a federal law when the center’s application was rejected in 2012.

“An injustice has been done,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said on August 27. “I will not stand by while any religious group is subject to unconstitutional treatment that violates federal civil rights laws.”

The DOJ claims that the city violated the law when it refused the Abu Huraira Islamic Center the right to create an Islamic cultural center in the basement of the St. Anthony Business Center. The DOJ cites a violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act that was enacted in the year 2000.

But the city fathers insist that the decision to deny the permit is based solely on zoning issues and had nothing to do with religion.
