Steynicalisms & Forgetting the Flock
I just read a (an?) hysterically ironical piece claiming that Judeo/Christianity has respect for the individual over the tribe which then goes on to claim that Muslims are a collective menace because of Islam. Here's the link if you want to play: "Spot the Inconsistencies in the Islamic Menace Argument of the Day on Mark Steyn's Blog" MarkSteynLivesHere
Euro/MuslimTension-ThanksToMuslims
But catch the yellow alert at the end of the piece:
Forty years ago last weekend, British classicists and politician Enoch Powell warned that if immigrants bringing alien values and customs into Britain were allowed to continue their immigration, a sense of alarm and resentment would develop in the indigenous British population. He was ejected from British politics for giving that warning.
Uh... by the Islamic Menace? Or by Judeo/Christianists... In any case, here's a tip for all you Islamophobes - it's not the religion, it's the theocracy. See, Christian churches are all about community, too. That's the whole point. We're all children of God in God's house, when we're in God's house, which we call "Church". We're a community. It's not about the individual. We're all one when we're with God in his house.
So really, it's up to us, believers and non believers, secular society, the west, to prevent True Believers from getting anywhere (come on down Bill C-10 and Bill C-464) near power. That's because religion is about faith in God as the Supreme Being, the Creator of the Universe, the All Knowing and All Powerful, not individual rights and freedoms. I mean, you can say it's about the individual, you can even say ONE religion is the One True Faith and better than another, you can write that Judeo/Christianity is all about individual rights and freedoms and Islam isn't, Mark Steyn can even post your piece on his site as if it has some kind of profound truth to it, but it's still complete and utter bullshit pulled out of your ass for partisan political purposes - the Church of PPP.
