What do Islamophobia and Voter Suppression Have in Common?

I unapologetically choose America first, national sovereignty, protected borders, the meritocracy, and unrestricted freedom of speech without which there is no other freedom.

What do Islamophobia and Voter Suppression Have in Common? Predictable cries of Islamophobia are heard after every terrorist attack even when jihadis screaming “Allahu Akhbar” (Allah is greater) make it irrefutable that they are killing in the name of Islam. Leftists and their apologists ignore this obvious fact and instead steer the discussion to Islamophobia. So what is Islamophobia?

A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. Islam is a set of ideas. Criticizing a set of ideas that blatantly states its intention to destroy Western civilization and replace it with a worldwide religious Islamic caliphate is not irrational. Considering that Islam’s particular set of ideas has also created a military corps of jihadists willing to die killing infidels (non-Muslims) to make their Islamist dreams come true, it is not irrational to fear it or be averse to it. Self-preservation is the most basic of human instincts - it is neither irrational nor phobic.

Recall that the left is largely driven by emotions and sentimental platitudes, not by reason or rationality.

It makes perfect sense for those who have subsided into an irrational mindset, however buoyed by intellectual sounding pabulum from academia they may claim to be, to consider any rational assessment to be a phobia.

Indeed, not to long ago on the shout box of an otherwise respectable forum a fellow posted this: “(poster he was addressing), anybody that needs a book to give them morals was a sociopath to begin with. Needless to say, you’re no moral guide.”

... to which I was greatly tempted to ask where WAS a proper place to get one’s morals: whatever the society at large (or at least the right thinking society as progressives deem right thinking) is doing at the moment?

See the mention of sociopath? I’m betting a sociopath has for many now become nothing more than NOT subscribing to the popular notions of tolerance and acceptance. The same with a phobia.

If you do not agree you are intolerant, if you do not celebrate you are you may be a sociopath, if you dare resist you are phobic.

When a man’s morality is determined by whatever lay beyond where his nose is pointing, he has conventions, not morals.
