From The obduracy of the leftist project found at Barrel Strength
"Picture an ad showing throngs of Muslims screaming in streets, shouting anti-US or anti-Christian slogans, burning embassies, preaching hate on televisions, beheading and stoning adulterers, converts, apostates, and blocking streets in European cities with praying men, butts in the air.
"The voice-over comes on:
“Imagine there is a religion which believes it is the duty of every one of its adherents to kill, enslave and degrade anyone not belonging to it.
“Imagine there is a religion whose adherents believe in removing the clitorises of young girls to secure their sexual constancy and obedience to their husbands.
“Imagine there is a religion which takes as its divinely-ordained human model a man who married his twelve year old niece, disavowed his adopted nephew to do so, slaughtered thousands of prisoners of war, and who made his lusts the criterion and authoritative guide of all male behaviour for all time?
“Imagine a religion which says its primary texts are not just divinely inspired, but are the dictations of God to man, literally and fully authoritative, even though one fifth of it cannot be logically or grammatically deciphered, even it its original language?”
“Imagine a religion that considers all inquiry, of whatever kind, to be formally forbidden”
“Imagine a religion that believes that if God says two plus two makes five, then there is no human basis for disputing that absurdity, and that to do so would merit death?
“Imagine a religion which says that the match does not light the gasoline, but that all physical events happen directly and without intermediation or operation of physical laws, but by the will of God alone?”
“Imagine if there were a religion which says that everything that happens in the universe: every molecule jiggling, every event that happen to a human, every bird falling from the sky, happens by the will of God alone?”
“Imagine the effects on scientific education and rational inquiry, when all possible subjects of inquiry: religious, philosophical or scientific, are forbidden.
“Would you not want to defend yourself against this religion? Would you not seek to have it disputed in public places by people in authority?
“If there were such a religion?”
I can see the hate-crime prosecutions now, but I can see the ad very clearly, and so do many of you, dear readers, without the benefit of televisions or computers. It is running every day, just the voice-over is missing. And now you have one."

"... and the truth will set you free." If you want to be.
Posted by: Howard Nelson at July 17, 2014 11:09 AMAll well and good.
What depresses me today, however, is the sheer magnitude of time, energy and effort presently being wasted on denouncing the left, and trying to shame its adherents into enlightenment.
I mean, seriously, it's like making fun of a child's normative behavior.
If only 1/10th of that resource were to be rerouted to the establishment of institutions, memes, systems and policies all aimed at building an immunity to the collectivist fetish... well, that might actually be cause for hope.
IMHO, it isn't the moral adolescence of the so-called "left" that makes the future look so bleak.

Posted by: Fred at July 17, 2014 11:45 AMImagine, if you will, the followers of such a religion being hunted down and killed for no other reason than that they would do the same to us.
And death to their their offspring and the lands they live in and anyone that thinks they are just fun-loving folks that deserve respect.
Old Testament justice is appropriate here.
