@SeanMcurrann Blessings on the trip to China, however, why the president is willing to enter the belly of the beast is unsettling. Another neutral location would be more comforting.
American woman makes an excellent point, and it’s a warning based on countless examples throughout history
Islam uses leftists. Once Muslims are done using leftists and have control of government, they will be purged
“Explain to me how the left condemns Christianity and can support Islam. What an interesting marriage of groups. Islam is significantly more of a threat to leftists.
Christianity isn't inherently theocratic. The vast majority of Christians believe in free will and freedom, which is why there aren't really any Christian theocracies, unless you wanna consider the Vatican to be a theocracy.
Islam, on the other hand, is very tied to governance, Sharia, which is why there are numerous Islamic theocracies and semi-theocracies. I think this union boils down to a few things.
The left views Christians as a dominant group who are oppressors, and they view Islamists as a marginalized minority group. The left also has unrealistic utopias, a complete misunderstanding of human behavior, and they have very low information when it comes to Islamists and the history of Islamists. Unbeknownst to leftists, Islamists are very aware of their ignorance, and they use it to their advantage.
The only thing leftists and Islamists have in common is their mutual hate for the West and Western values, which by and large are shaped by Judeo-Christian values. So they kind of become mutual tools for each other.
But historically, this doesn't really play out well for leftists. There are many examples of this, so let's take a look and see how this unholy alliance plays out or has played out in the past. Pause to read.(See video)
So there is an obvious pattern here. Leftists and Islamists unite against a common enemy. When the enemy is removed, Islamists prioritize establishing Islamic governance, which is completely incompatible with secular leftist visions, and honestly, is incompatible with everyone else's visions, as Islamic governance is incompatible with Western democracy.
Once Islamists have the upper hand, leftists are often purged, imprisoned, or sidelined. And honestly, this goes along with any other group of people who do not fall in line with their ideology. We have many examples of violent intolerance.
So yeah, this image I see floating around is highly accurate. If I do have one thing to add though, politicians in the West have no idea what they're doing. And I think as Canadians, we could look towards Europe and kind of have an idea of what's to come. That is if we continue down this path”
