Inhumanity & the Left

Exposing Leftists' Radical Islam Connection

I have long insisted that the problem of radical Islam is not a liberal or conservative issue; it's a human rights issue. The unfortunate fact, however, is that largely it is only conservatives who care about it. In the face of the global jihad, the left is strangely silent: no protest marches, no angry full-page ads in the New York Times. When the Left does notice an adulterous woman being stoned to death under Sharia law, or some other outrage in the Islamic world, it is usually dismissed as an aberration or somehow blamed on their all-purpose bogeyman: the United States government.

Tell me how this guy is wrong. Tell me why we should not denounce an inhumane act that a few say their religion demands?

I can't play the 'some of my best friends are Muslim' card, because it's not true, but I did sit next to someone on a plane once and, since he was plowing through the Koran, I asked him to explain where 'it's good to murder' shows up in the text. He was actually pretty nice about it, which is probably at least partially because I didn't word it quite that way. However,,, he couldn't come up with a real answer. Curious, that.
