I don’t think most people understand that the overwhelming number of attacks by Islamic terrorists are against other Muslims (those who follow the “wrong” version of Islam or are insufficiently radical), Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and secularists. Even if you don’t give a damn about Jews or Israel, and even if you want Israel and Jews to disappear, you will not be safe from Islamic terrorism. It starts with the Jews, who have been expelled from every Muslim country if they were not already dead, but then it ends with everyone else. Look at what is happening to Christians in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. Millions of Christians have been killed by Islamic terrorists, but the coverage by the traditional press is virtually nonexistent. This is occurring more and more in Europe and is spreading to the USA and the rest of the Americas. The only country that will not tolerate Islamic terrorists is China, which is brutally eliminating all Muslims, regardless of their religiosity, to ensure they never have a problem with Islam. I’m not proposing the US and Europe adopt the China model, but unless and until this problem is decisively addressed, the terrorism will spread and expand until these attacks become a daily event as in Nigeria.
I don't want to downplay whatsoever the horrific suffering caused by this Islamic terrorist, or what the loved ones of the victims are going through--but what I can't stop thinking about is the willful capitulation of our leaders to Islamist terror. How is this happening? Why do they think it's OK for mobs wearing terrorist regalia and brandishing terrorist flags to shut down streets and public areas, threatening violence and extermination of a religious minority? How is it possible we have such an anemic response from our president--regardless of who it is or which political party they represent--immediately after a terrorist murders FIFTEEN American on New Years's Eve in an American city? How is the FBI so utterly and publicly incompetent in its response? I will never understand the willful surrender to this third-world barbarism. How do so many people not realize or care that this is all of our problem? It's in our house now.
Woke progressivism has the effect of intellectually and morally emasculating those who embrace it. Narratives of “white supremacy,” the evils of Western civilization, the horrors of capitalism, etc. render them incapable of mounting a defense against Islamofascism.
The Intersectional Left has lost its moral compass. As for the Islamic killer in NO. He was not radical as much as he was true to the Islamic written word that is fundamental, supremacist, intolerant and violent. Islamism. It would take an Islamic Martin Luther to change what is fundamental to Islam. The West seems incapable of seeing this fact. You only have to read about Mohammed's massacre of the Banu Qurayza Jews in 627 in the Quran to know nothing has changed.The Banu Qurayza had been in Medina for hundreds of years before Mohammed. They wanted a peaceful resolution with the new Arab warlord. Mohammed instead put all the Banu Qurayza men to death, and took the women as slaves. Fundamentally nothing in the "way of life" of Mohammedans has changed since. It is fundamental. Sad.
Agreed. But the ‘intersectional’ Left has never had a proper moral compass. Intersectional morality is based on group identity, along a good-evil axis of perceived ‘oppression’. It gives the ‘oppressed’ license to excuse, justify or celebrate any action against an ‘oppressor’ no matter how horrendous.

18 days!!
Liberals demand that we regard all cultures as equal.
BS - Islam is far inferior to our western culture.
Look at the (apparent) Pakistani grooming gangs in England; the massacre of dogs in Turkey; the 10/7 pogrom; the Islamic treatment of women.
I could go on, but Islam is not the equal of our western culture.
People have the right to choose. But Muslims do not have the right to impose their values on us.
And we should recognize that many Muslims embrace war against the west.
But I am optimistic that many Americans (with the exception of lefties) are starting to realize the truth.

Point taken.
