[the_ad id=”90513″]I have often said that Islam could never have been successful and made the deleterious inroads in the West without the partnership, aid and assistance of the left. The left made it possible to Islamic supremacists to infiltrate and dismantle our freedoms. In Islam, the left found the perfect weapon to destroy America.
Here is an excellent analysis of that rationale from Norwegian author Onar Åm. He writes extensively on libertarian issues.
The Greatest Threat to America Isn’t Islam – It’s the Left
By Onar Åm | CNS | April 20, 2017 |
Story continues below advertisementThese days, many people are anxious about the threat that Islam poses to the West. The fear is understandable but misplaced. And there are a host of reasons why this proves to be true.
Islam is a religion stuck in pre-medieval times and has rarely produced any civilizational, scientific or technological advancements. Around 40 percent of Muslims worldwide are illiterate. Muslim nations are unable to manufacture even the most elementary of things without the aid of Western engineering, knowledge, and technology. To a great and powerful civilization, Islam can never pose a threat.
The only reason Islam was ever able to conquer two-thirds of the Christian territories after the death of Muhammed was because the Roman and Persian empires had weakened themselves and each other through centuries of warfare. Also, plague and famine had decimated the population in the Mediterranean region, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
The problems we are now facing with Islam are only symptoms of the left’s success in paralyzing the West and preventing it from asserting itself. Islam was never strong. The West has become weak. That is why fear of Islam is misplaced. The real enemy of the West is the ideological left, an adversary from within which slowly but surely destroys western civilization by debilitating its cultural and political immune system. In many ways, the left is like HIV, and Islam is like a cold. A cold is annoying but hardly life-threatening to someone with a healthy immune system. To someone ravaged by the HIV, however, even a common cold can be lethal.
For more than a century, the left has waged a relentless jihad on the West. In the 19th century, Karl Marx saw Christianity as the cultural carrier and defender of capitalism and launched an intentional attack on religion in general, and Christianity in particular. He believed that, if Christian values could be undermined, it would be much easier to replace capitalism with utopian socialism. As an articulate intellectual, Karl Marx attracted many academics to his cause, and gradually left-wing radicals took over western universities. From this position of intellectual power, they were slowly able to poison the minds of most young people by feeding them lies that effectually turned them into enemies of their own civilization.
[the_ad id=”90673″]
The left has been insidious in accomplishing this feat by subtly rewriting academic history textbooks. Today, most positive elements of Western civilization have been erased from academia. Modern students do not learn that capitalism raised billions of people out of poverty and that every single day hundreds of thousands enter the middle class around the globe, thanks to free market economics.
At the same time, negative occurrences about other cultures have been carefully removed. Ask an average student in university, and he will know nothing about the one hundred million people who were effectively murdered under communist totalitarianism. He has not been made aware that almost all places that suffer from poverty in the world are governed by left-wing, anti-capitalistic regimes.
Instead, leftist professors teach only about the vices and atrocities that have occurred in our own history. As a student, you will learn that the West became rich due to slavery and imperialism, but they will never teach that slavery was endemic to all cultures across the world, and that it was Western Christian nations which ultimately abolished slavery.
University professors proclaim all the wealth of the West was stolen from innocent, peaceful cultures around the world. Students are taught that whites are fundamentally racist, but it will go unsaid that all these cultures from which we allegedly stole our wealth had been dirt poor for thousands of years and any racism that existed in the West pales in comparison to that of other cultures.
The professors may not use words like “evil,” but it isn’t necessary. Students infer this conclusion on their own based on the deceptions they are fed. They deduce that the West in general, and specifically the United States, must be destroyed so that all the other respectable and decent cultures of the world can blossom again to create the nirvana that existed before our ruthless impoverishment and exploitation.
The worst part is that decent conservatives and libertarians across the world have allowed this to happen practically without moral resistance. Why? The left has found the great weakness of conservatives: their conscience and decency. When someone accuses them of being racist or some other form of evil, their reflex is to apologize and appease. The more conservatives placate and soothe, the louder the left screams racism – because it works.
The cultural decay of our civilization will continue until conservatives choose to stand up and say “enough.” And the first step in what will certainly be a long process of restoring respect for American culture and values is to quit apologizing and cease pacifying the left.

From the article: “I have often said that Islam could never have been successful and made the deleterious inroads in the West without the partnership, aid and assistance of the left.”
Without reading another word, Ms. Geller nailed it. This is why America is divided. This is why we have irrational, out-of-control protestations on college campuses. And of course, we have George Soros, the guilty-as-sin puppeteer operating in the background to feed and advance his well-oiled machine with ill-gotten wealth. Additionally – when moral standards went collectively out the window, the devil’s crowd moved right in.
But – where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty – not as Soros provides, but and the Declaration said every human being is endowed with.

Agree ! Islam/jihadi are real threat. But Bigger threat is from the Left/liberal Pro-jihadi goons in media and colleges like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BznqyTiR7o

Evidence of is U.S. weakness is the failure to put the disgusting seditionist, George Soros, away for good and to find grounds for doing. Further to this, why are Bill and Hillary Clinton still free? Why is Susan Rice not charged? There seems to be very little will on the behalf of conservatives.
You are righty about moral standards. I here lots of talk about ‘values’ but most of this is pure rubbish, the ‘values’ based about upon feckless, baseless, transient ideas that change with each new social fad. Just listen to the prime minister of Canada if you wish to see an example of drivelling talk about ‘values’. They values have a foundation of inviolable principles.

Pardon my typo in the last line above.
The Democrats don’t view this as ‘let bygones be bygones’ and are trying to ruin Trump’s presidency. He needs to wake up to this and cut their throats – figuratively – left, right and centre. At times he appears too conciliatory. It won’t win their love, so he shouldn’t waste his time trying.

Correct. The Left is relentless – hoping repeated diversionary tactics will keep the Trump Administration on the defensive and less likely to reverse this trend with vigorous tactics against the left-wing enemy itself – as you named Hillary, Obama Rice, etc.

The author made a fundamental error when he referred to Islam as a religion. It is not. Islam is a totalitarian ideology with the explicitly stated goal of world conquest – a religion is a part of this totalitarianism. This is important because it removes protection by the 1st Amendment.
.
“Islam” and leftism are both direct threats to our civilization. Islam may be crude and technologically backward as the author states, but it is destroying Europe today with great speed; all because of leftist policies.
.
Both are grave dangers to our freedom. Both have the potential to destroy the USA in the next very few years.

The synchronous integration of both, which is now underway, is a magnitude of danger that I’m not sure we’ve ever faced. It is synergistic, creating a worldwide monster much more deadly than Islam alone.

Like I’ve said for years, moslems are nothing but maggots on the corpses of once great nations.
Leftists have, for years, maybe decades, lived out their murderous rage through the blood lust atrocities of Islam. Now, through their shared faux victimhood and other emotion laden false narratives, the integration of the left and Islam is underway, extremely dangerous and becoming more dangerous by the minute. This is a war that is well underway and that we’ve hardly even begun to fight.

Yes, in the now lunatic, left dominated West he does get away with it. Toronto imams have made all manner of hate-filled statements and still them remain free. One Toronto Muslim journalist has openly made clear that every Friday in mosques across Canada, imams pray a prayer that the ‘infidels will be conquered by Muslims’ – yet nothing happens. When he once reported to the Toronto police that some Muslim needed to be watched, the head of the Toronto police security branch turned up – and it turned out that he is a Muslim.

The future of security on campuses and no gun zones like airports and courthouses is likely to be robotics. They are even testing some to detect lies. I do not believe any of them are going to be named mohammed.

Error! Error! The Left is certainly a problem in this regard, but the partnership of BIG OIL with the Sunni Gulf Oil states is the real problem. Big Oil controls the LEFT through the Rockefeller, Gates, and Soros Foundations/Networks. Further, Conservatives made the mistake of bringing down the Soviet Union with said same alliance with the Sunni Gulf States!
