240...this very thought was going through my mind earlier today when I was watching the Philadelphia police presser and reading about these New Year's assaults in Europe. The one common denominator in this insanity...and it IS insanity...is the leftist mindset. They REALLY believe this shit (sorry for the crudity) that resides in their heads. They believe "people of color" (which includes Muslims) are terminal victims of white racism, and all this trouble is really white people's fault for being rich oppressors...and they forever will be. These leftists really believe this bullshit (sorry again) like they believe the climate change crap. And they will take their own civilization down to destruction - to their own deaths - believing it. Because for them, changing their life-long held beliefs - even ones that are so demonstrably wrong that they will die from it - is far worse than death.
Unfortunately, I have become used to the suicidal mentality of Liberals.
This intrinsic support that Liberals have for Muslims is true insanity. Muslim culture is the exact opposite of everything Liberals believe in every single way.
The Liberals think that they can convert the Muslims with "niceness". And like you said, they truly believe that they can change Muslims culture. That is what the "winning the hearts and minds" program was all about. That is why Obama wants to give the murderous fanatic mullahs in Iran 150 billion dollars. That is why schools in America and Europe kick Christians out for praying and basically ban all forms of Christian expression. And yet these same schools teach the tenets of Islam in class while providing prayer-rooms and prayer-time for Muslim students.
This is all part of the same Liberal thinking, that if they are "nice" to the Muslims, the Muslims will be 'nice' in return. This is the foundational misunderstanding of Islamic culture by Liberal thinkers. 'Niceness' is perceived by Muslims as weakness, and it only emboldens them and engenders more attacks, not less. Liberals cannot comprehend this fundamental fact, and they never will, no matter how obvious it becomes.
The most absurd thing of all of this is homosexual support of Islam. That is the nadir of ignorance and stupidity. There is no Muslim group on Earth that would ever allow an open homosexual to have a place in their society. In fact, they execute them worldwide.
But, there is hope. Israel used to fit the exact description I wrote above. They were all those things. However, after enduring decades of relentless attacks and terrorism, and after offering them everything they claim they wanted several times, only to be rejected, Israel finally woke up. They finally realized that there is no way to appease and befriend a 'death cult'. You cannot coexist with people who want to kill you. Israel finally got the message.
Currently, France and several other European nations are getting the message as well. So while Liberal Americans' support for Muslims is still trending up, European and Scandinavian support for Muslims is trending down. The more experience a nation/person has with Muslims, the more they come to realize that it is literally impossible to live with them or alongside them. The Muslims will not allow it.
We can only hope that we get someone in office as President who understands the nature of the threat that Muslims pose. Hussein understands the threat, but he tacitly supports it. Liberals are ignorant, and have no idea what they are in for. Trump and Carson certainly get the picture. As for Cruz and Rubio, I'm not sure where they stand.
There is only so much destruction Obama can do in a year. We just have to hope the next guy will be able to undo Obama's treason and his selling out of America to foreign nationals in the name of "diversity".
