Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani

14 Feb, 2007

Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.

Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism.

Answer 2

We all live in our own little ivory tower thinking we are doing everything right until someone comes along and shakes the tower. We then find out that we have not done everything right and we need to improve. SO - if we are judged it gives us an indication of how we are doing and what we need to do to overcome our shortfalls! Unfortunately the U.S. has brought a lot of criticism on itself and our political leaders have failed to take steps to rectify the problems. Rather than come up with some brilliant (or even simple) solution they try to find a way to blame someone else and spend hours and days arguing and fighting over it but never fix the problem. Our political candidates argue how important their expereince is - that experience has led us into many of our problems. Yes, we are ripe for judgment from the rest of the world. It is time we listened to world opinion. It is time we fixed our problems. I do not think we have a year to study problems, send out envoys, etc. to find out what is wrong or what other nations believe. It is time we fixed the problem and stop shrugging off the issues and problems.

Answer 3

The judgement or catastrophe has nothing to do with the Book of Revelations. The judgement is akin to the Nursery Rhime of Humpty Dumpty - the Nation is heading for a great fall.

Answer 4

What? We're going to face some judgement from God because someone read a citation in the Scriptures and interpreted it that way? Was it in the Book of Revelations?
If so, that was written by John of Patmos and has no relevance to today's world. Even his description of Armegeddon refers to a real town north of Jerusalem called Megedo.

Answer 5

Don't think so it's them who get kick on the butts.
Look like those getting themselves being swiped off the land like swiping off an anthill with living examples of the Asian Tsunami being caught off guard with living warning of a lone standing building being left behind for those casualties of the dead Mummy.
After the living examples of Bam's earthquakes with both having heavy toll of casualites without being aware of getting kick out there.
Luke 21.33-36
The blunders and slip-ups with human errors in idol worshipping the dead Mummy in not worshiping God out there.
Leviticus 26.30-32

Answer 6

I think I agree people are constantly saying stuff like this 24/7. Oh the world is going to end in few years, so and so is going to dies in few years...etc...etc.

Well, one of those 'prediction' or 'feeling' or something is going to hit the jackpot one of these days.

Answer 7

no
no-one is ripe for judgement [and most certainly not a collective 'judgment']

read that we dont know the truth [the real facts] by which to judge
[how we judge others is how we ourselves wil be judged

most [read that as nearlly all] people are good people
yes , good people do bad things [but let ye without sin be the first one stoned ]

we as people are all children of the one god

god has grace [when we die we get to judge ourselves ,

it is logical that if you judged others harshly , you will of pride alone be forced to thus judge yourself of the same harsh measure ;

thus forgive others today so you can forgive yourself in due time ]

or live for eternity with them knowing you judge others guilty but of the same measure found [only?] your own sins guiltless

Answer 8

I think we are no more than any other country ripe for judgment.

Answer 9

Judgment by whom, exactly? Not by god, I hope. If so, we're all doomed to hell, regardless your denomination or beliefs. God is one mean MF, if ya know what I mean. Killing babies, wiping out entire countries. NOT a nice being.

Answer 10

It's ALREADY underway. Stay "tuned"- & watch CLOSELY... :)
