I notice the God-less crowd never goes after Islam. Cowards.
I think you are right. Maybe they fear that muslims will come after them if they did. Interesting point.
This lifelong atheist ignores Islam, the religion, and agitates against Islamism, the assertion of Islamic superiority over all things western.
Islamism declared global war against America and western culture at least as far back as the Iranian seizure of the American embassy in Tehran in 1979. I said at the time—along with many of us here today, of course—trying to negotiate with religious fanatics was the wrong thing to do. I've said that again and again over the years since then. No one wants to hear we're in a world war against an avowed enemy who's entitely glad to fight it one skirmish and one battle at a time over the next couple centuries. It's much simpler to tell ourselves we're in this or that little local war on the ground in Asia. As long as we keep pretending this is everything but a world war, (not to mention letting our masters in Washington, D.C. throw away our rights as fast as they can,) the Islamists will keep winning and we'll keep losing.
If we'd taken action during the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, the Islamists probably wouldn't have blown up the Marine barracks in Lebanon. If we'd troubled ourselves to win the Gulf War against Iraq, the Islamists probably wouldn't have launched the first attack against the World Trade Center. If we'd obliterated Mecca with one bomb on September 12, 2001, the odds are high nobody would be worrying about Iranian nuclear weapons today. Do you see a pattern?
All that said™, some atheists do, indeed, behave badly, especially in front of television cameras. So do some Christians; so do some Muslims; so do some Hindus, et cetera. I ask you not to judge all atheists for the actions of the loudest and most self-important few.
