Islamophiles / Regressive Left - Liberal non-Muslims who are desperate to protect the Religion of Peace

I miss the Hitch so much. He'd be having a field day with all the Social Justice bullshit going on. I'd love to see how he'd respond to getting shouted down at a college talk.

How'd he respond to Bill Nye?

Fear of muslims has been brought up already, but when I watched that video it seemed like those people were mostly afraid of their fellow liberals. If they didn't give Rebel Media the usual song and dance, they'd probably become pariahs at their school and get harassed to no end.

The time Richard Dawkins interviewed a Muslim.

I recall him roasting someone who tried to talk over him at a college. I'll poke through my YT history and see if I find it again.

I don't remember who coined the term, but I heard Maajid Nawaz refer to the soft bigotry of low expectations and it struck me that it's a perfect description of how the regressive left treats non whites.

To them, white people have to behave perfectly, express the right opinions, think the right thoughts, have the right ideas, and be perfectly accommodating of non whites. PoCs, on the other hand, can mutilate the genitals of their children, murder each other over religion, commit acts of terror on civilian populations, perpetuate the religious beliefs that threaten to drag us back to the dark ages, and much more. But they get a pass because the leftists have no concept that letting them slide just ingrained the problem.

It's a quote from one of Dubya's speechwriters. Same guy that thought up Axis of Evil.

Wait, something smart actually came out of Dubya's administration? Color me impressed.

Are you talking about the soft bigotry of low expectations? Because Bill Cosby used that term decades before W was in office. He was really big on personal responsibility and trying to inspire black communities to lift themselves out of poverty, and that soft bigotry is why he insisted he play a doctor on the Cosby show instead of a more blue collar job like the tv executives wanted.

Serious sperging in this thread.

Dawkins is a national treasure. Real glad that people like him (and Sam Harris and Bill Maher, ect) aren't afraid to speak out about the dangers of fundamental Islam while being firmly entrenched on the left.

It's good that there are people who want to defend us but they should realize that not every Muslim is automatically a good person and vice-versa.
The cultural appropriations made by SJWs/trannies are becoming annoying, and I honestly wonder if they do think they'd survive in the shittier Middle Eastern nations.

 

[cypocryphy]

If "Islamophobes" are supposed to be far-right would that make Islamism far-left ? That's always confused me. The idea of the Taliban/Wahhabism etc. being left wing is pretty funny.

If you were to air drop those people into the Middle East, it'd probably go something like this.

They just want to stick it to the right wing political parties. Needless to say, it's incredibly short sighted.

Politics don't run along any single spectrum and realizing that is essential to attaining political maturity. Opposites often make common cause for political expediency, sometimes to positive effect (Communism and Democracy aligning to take out Fascism), but often in a negative fashion, such as the fusing of Goldwater Republicans and the Religious Right in the 80's, or the current relationship between progressivism and Islamism.
