When Liberal Preferences Meet Islamic Principles

There was a recent scandal that, as much as anything else, illustrates the intellectual emptiness and moral ennui of the modern liberal man. It occurred in Britain but reflects a wider phenomenon; what can be said about it can be said about happenings in Sweden, France, Holland, Canada or Belgium — or the United States.

It was discovered recently that Muslims in seven London schools were indoctrinating children with Islamic propaganda, ignoring Western culture and refusing to inculcate the “British values” of the moment. The situation was such that all of one school’s library books were in Arabic and many students couldn’t tell investigators whether they should follow British or Sharia law or which was more important. And one of these schools, mind you, was a state-run Church of England institution — that happens to now be upwards of 80 percent Muslim.

When hearing about the subordination of British law to Sharia and other such Islamic cultural inroads, one of my instincts is to say “So what?” Cry me a river of multiculturalist tears.

Multiculturalism, we’ve been told, dictates that all cultures are morally equal and deserve the same respect and footing within “Western” civilization. Never mind that the ideology is self-defeating. After all, since different cultures espouse different values, not all cultures can be “morally” equal unless all values are so. This makes multiculturalism not only a corollary of, but also a Trojan horse for, moral relativism. And consider the implications. If all values are equal, how can showing cultures equal respect be superior to cultural chauvinism? And what if another culture does prescribe the latter? It then follows that the people within it cannot both have their own culture, unaltered, and accept multiculturalism.

. . . .students couldn’t tell investigators whether they should follow British or Sharia law or which was more important.

Man will not believe in nothing. Christianity has been stomped on in western society for so long, that stinking, fetid, rotten islam is taking its place.

Eff islam.

Liberal vs. Islamic preferences? Let me guess, the Liberal rolled over and surrendered.

They only put up a fight when going up against Judeo-Christians—who are “safe” to disagree with.

We now have to wait if the Pubbies, when they will be in charge, will also put on the kneepads for the muzzies like the RATS have done so far.

If that is the case, there no longer will be the need to vote because, when the muzzies take over, there won’t be any Pubbies or RATS making laws because it will be exclusively Sharia.

Another word for Islam is evil, and yet another is antichrist. Play with it at your own peril. No leftist value like multiculturalism is worth the price of living with Islam. It is like letting poisonous snakes crawl into your bed.
