Tired to Defend Freedom?

- "We
are kidding ourselves if we think we yet live in a tolerant,
liberal society" — UK Liberal Democrats party leader Tim
Farron, who resigned after giving "politically
incorrect" answers on homosexual sex and abortion.
- Wherever
he went, Jeremy Corbyn seemed as if he were a voluntary
collaborator with an Iranian regime that executes gays. But
Corbyn was never questioned about this affiliation the way the
media obsessively questioned Farron.
- Muslim
supremacists murder gays in Orlando? Instead of being proud of
an open society, defending it from Islamic jihadists, and
accepting the freedom to be homosexual as a positive
difference between the West and Islam, our liberals make it a
case for more "inclusion".

his Christian conscience, he could have considered homosexual sex a

After the recent terror attacks in Britain, The
Spectator wrote: "After five centuries, religious war has
returned to England". The reference is to 1535, when Thomas
More was executed for his Catholic beliefs. Tim Farron, a British
MP and party leader of the Liberal Democrats who, after refusing
for several days to state whether he considers homosexual sex a
sin, and gave ambiguous answers on abortion, was not brought to the
Tower of London for a public execution. However, almost 500 years
after More, Farron saw his political career sacrificed on an almost
identical ideological altar as More.
Farron resigned his position as party leader with a
dramatic speech. The Daily Mail condemned the "liberal
fascism" of the "moral pygmies". The progressive New
Statesman headlined its story on Farron's resignation as the
"decline of liberalism". Farron said: "We are
kidding ourselves if we think we yet live in a tolerant, liberal
society".

- To
allay fears inspired in Americans by what he called a
"right-wing caricature" of Islamic jurisprudence,
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf claimed, falsely, that it "does
not presume to replace American law. It agrees with its
underlying values and promotes them." In fact, both
founders of political Islam, Sayyed Qutb and Hassan al-Banna,
openly explained that Islam wishes to destroy all states and
governments.
- A
new problem seems to have sprung up: some disembodied entity
at Google apparently decided, with a few swipes of a bear-paw,
to censor all the contents from these historically accurate
think-tank postings. What is Google trying to keep you from
knowing? Material that would be more dangerous for you to know
or more dangerous for you not to know? How considerate
of Google to have made this decision for you!
- American
fear of sharia is anything but "silly." It comes not
a minute too soon.

In a recent op-ed in the New York Daily News,
Kuwaiti American Sufi cleric and activist Feisal Abdul Rauf -- who
served more than 25 years as the imam of the Masjid al-Farah Mosque
in New York City -- argued that nobody in the United States should
be worried about the incorporation of Islamic law, sharia, into the
legal system or should be protesting it. To allay fears inspired in
Americans by what he called a "right-wing caricature" of
Islamic jurisprudence, Rauf claimed, falsely, that sharia
"does not presume to replace American law. It agrees with its
underlying values and promotes them." In fact, both founders
of political Islam, Sayyed Qutb[1] and Hassan al-Banna, openly
explained that Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments.
