And Muhammed is Their Prophet

Timothy Birdnow

"Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss”

John Milton, Paradise Lost

Here is a great essay on why the Left loves Muhammed.

The author argues:

"Islam is different. It stands for something. And here’s what’s really great about what it stands for: It stands for a lot of the things leftists love.

My cousin, who converted from being a Jewish atheist to Christianity, and then became a pastor, spent decades working in the Virginia prison system. Many years ago, he wrote an email to me that stated something very profound about how common it was for prisoners to convert to Islam. What’s significant is that they didn’t do so because they felt remorse for their crimes, repented, and sought redemption. Instead, something very different was going on:

It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass murderer. That is one reason why criminals "convert” to Islam in prison. They don’t convert at all; they simply remain the angry, judgmental, vicious beings they always have been. They simply add "religious” diatribes to their personal invective. Islam does not inspire a crisis of conscience, just inspirations to outrage.

And there it is: The "spiritual” nexus between Islam and socialism.

For socialists, Islam is everything they want, plus it answers the big questions: Why am I here?

To serve Allah.

Why shouldn’t I murder, rob, cheat, assault, sleep with my sister, etc.?

You’re free to do so, as long as it benefits Islam.

And then there’s the kicker: What happens at the end?

It’s not the end. You ascend to Paradise. If you’ve been a soldier for the cause, you get a wonderful paradise, plus endless sex with 72 women, a good sales pitch for leftist men.

If you’re a regular guy, you get to live in a wonderful paradise, complete with sex with your "purified” spouses, something that will work for leftist men.

As for women, they get to be young, free of negative emotions, material goods, and surrounded by friends and family…but no sex. For leftist women, riddled with angry emotions and utterly degraded and demoralized by hook-up culture, this may actually end up sounding very good."

I remember reading eighth and nineth century Christian thinkers discussing Islam and it's meteoric rise and this author is correct. These thinkers all said the same thing - Islam appeals to the carnal nature of Man, offers the indulgence of the flesh over the spirit. It is not spiritual except in the academic sense; it is more justification for self-indulgence.

Islam turns our moral failings into "service of Allah". Fighting and warfare are not things we do because we must but become "Holy War" aka Jihad, and thus given the impramateur of God Himself. So those who are violent and enjoy the other fruits of warfare - raping women, destroying things, stealing children, stealing "the enemy's" goods, are freed from moral blame as this is in the service of the Kingdom of Allah. Sex in Islam is the easiest thing imaginable; a man may have four wives (who have a legal share in his estate) but an unlimited number of concubines, meaning he can ball any woman he pleases. And it is particularly incumbent upon him to take the infidel women as part of the campaign to terrorize and ultimately dominate t he kaffirs. So deviant sex and even violent rape are not just excused but celebtated. You are no longer a scumbag abuser of women but rather God's anointed warrior!

Islam allows, nay encourages you to lie, to cheat, to steal, to break oaths and treaties, to oppress women, to rape women and even male children, to betray your benefactors and people who see you as friends, etc.

While I am not saying all Muslims are such monsters (most are just normal people who have been raised Muslim and whose parents likely adopted it because of the pressure exerted on them from their Muslim overlords) I am saying many are and that is because, in the end, Islam makes it so.

(I have to ask; why does Allah require his followers to impose justice on the world? Is he so weak he has to have human beings do it for him? Christianity is quite the opposite; God imposes justice, humans bring word of mercy in the hopes that their neighbors freely choose to serve God. A world of difference, even if on occasion Christians haven't followed their faith.)

But judgmentalism and imposing "justice" which is an excuse for imposing your own will, is quite attractive to Muslims and to Leftists alike. It plays to a very flawed human lust for power and a sadistic desire to abuse those perceived as enemies.

Islam has been described as "Judaism without the Jews" and the characteristics the Left claims to so loath about Jews is prevalaint in Islam in spades. But in true Pharisidic fashion the Left admires Islam and loathes Judaism. The Jews were important to Judaism because they were chosen by God to fulfill a purpose - a purpose of missionarizing without forcing. Islam has the purpose of reproducing too but by hook or by crook. The moral code of the Jews constrains them - the moral code of Islam empowers them.. No Jew ever cut off the head of a non-believer out of a sense of "justice". On the contrary the Jew will generally forgive those who do suc h barbaric acts - as do Christians. And Jews do not proselytize; they rather discourage conversions. They are chosen not to convert people to Judaism but to evangelize the worship of God by example. You don't have to be a Jew to worship God - you DO have to be a Muslim to propertly worship Allah. They will tolerate you if you pay them tribute (just like a Mafia Don) but only up to a point. Eventually they will get back to you about your lack of faith.

At Any rate the Islam/Leftist alliance has many facets. I wrote about some of them in an essay at American Thinker some years back.

Oh, there are a number of similarities between Islam and Leftism. For instance, the first thing the Muslims did when conquering a nation was issuing an order forgiving all debt, public and private. This was very popular with the poor and working classes and many became Muslims as a result. That this was theft seemed immateriall to the Muslims, and nothing good comes of a crime. They also imposed a lot of new taxes (something near and dear to the Left). They thought to change times and laws just as liberals do. And they were (and remain) universalists; the whole world must be subjugated by Islam, just as it must be subjugated by leftism. And I have already discussed the sexual mores. There is a reason why, even though Islam forbids homosexuality, they allow the rape of young boys by Muslim men as in the "dancing boys" of Afghanistan. Also, Islam frowned upon alcohol (although they wink at it) but not harder drugs. Smoking hashish was fine to the Muslims but having wine with dinner not so much. That is EXACTLY like modern liberals, who promote legalizing marijuana and even hard narcotics while waging war against beer and wine.

So why the similarities? I would argue both come from the same father and he ain't God. They are brothers in the service of the adversary.

Or, if you prefer to take religion out of it, they are in the service of the same sort of system and their enemies are the same. Both hate Christianity and Judaism. Both hate free societies. Both hate seperartion of church and state. Both want to empower a strong central government to coerce people into believing what they themselves hold true. It matters not who they are - Muslims, Communists, Socialists (including Nazis and Fascists), etc. the program is always the same. And, as the old Arab proverb says, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

And all of them feel the path to paradise, a long-lost paradise, is blocked by the superstitious, primitive, and judgmental Christians and their Jewish allies.

Broad and easy is the path to eternal damnation.
