Thread: Social-Cons are scared to DEATH of Muslims. Why?

  1. #1

    Question Social-Cons are scared to DEATH of Muslims. Why?

    Why are the social cons scared to death of Muslims?


    The argument typically goes like this...

    "Well the Muslims are going to come in here and take over once they get enough people to vote themselves into office and then they'll institute Sharia Law and turn us into a Muslim nation... just look at the problems France and other European countries are having"

    Multiculturalism (forced immigration) and democracy is not a good combination... it never ends well. One group will use the government guns against the other and vise versa.

    Politics of fear need their boogie men, dear. That can be commies or Jews or Mexicans or Muslims or who knows who too. What really matters, in all of their pratters, is that the badmen are nothing like you. So stay in your houses, lock up the kids and spouses, and let nobody in. Unless he says he's Republican. Now go to your churches and learn all your verses- so you can be righteous too!

    You are correct Marshal law or sharia law are going to be unpopular now matter how you slice it , but the former could more easily happen.

    A fair share of Muslims unfortunately live in the 6th century. I'm not a social con but I can clearly comprehend the distaste. Running around crying "jihad", covering up your women from head to toe and killing homosexuals in broad daylight, isn't exactly going to win one respect points in the realm of western civilization strata. Let's be serious here. Is the venom directed towards Islam over the top? Absolutely. Is this distaste unfounded? Of course not.

    Sadly , this does seem to apply to the Saudi and Iranian leadership. Any citizen anywhere should be wary of them. That said , there are plenty of other places ( most ) that this is not true . Education is the only way out of anything . Maybe someone should expand on all the other countries that are not like that.

    Another problem is lack of concern from Muslims who aren't of that stripe. They are relatively silent about such matters.

    They are not. Or ever have been. This is a meaningless statement.
    Anyways, the moslems who are in the US are hardly a sample from those cultures. They tend to be highly educated and have a very low crime rate or divorce rate etc..

    So this is not about a fear of people who come with "those traditions". It is as Ron Paul put simply an irrational fear. A phobia. It's bigotry.

    Responding to the original question in this thread, it's good to note that often hysteria has a nugget of truth in it. After all, it's not just US socons who are worried about Muslim assimilation, the FRENCH are passing every law they can think of short of driving every Muslim out of the country. While we can debate methodology and attitudes, there's sufficient evidence to suggest that a Muslim voter base would try to institute their own way of doing things much like liberals, socons (and yes!) libertarians would if they had the votes to do so. In fact, historically that is exactly what happened (when votes were soldiers, of course!), what the Qur'an can reasonably be assumed to teach (Qur’an:8:39 is a juicy nugget) and what Muslim leaders are calling for today. In fact, trying to ignore such evidence can be considered just as crazy in my book!

    I certainly am not on board with the neo-con social interventionists.


    But I think any student of history needs to look at the foundations of law and culture in societies. It was Murray Rothbard who said it was Christianity (since the time of the Reformation) that put emphasis on the individual as opposed to the State. I think there is something about the foundations of Muslim theology and jurisprudence that is fundamentally against the concept of individual liberty and equal rights.

    Not really. Religion is up to the interpretation of the individual. Any reformer can take the same text and argue the exact same point in favor of liberty. This is exactly what the enlightenment period was--reformation of Christianity.

    In fact if anything, Islam was the most liberal ideology of its time. It was the reformation of the Arabian society in the 7th century, making it one of the world's most liberal, tolerant, productive and scientific of all ages.

    Yeah. I know man. I've heard all the propaganda too. I understand why they say what they say about the "glorious" past of Islam.



    But let's look at reality. In Muslim courts, a woman's testimony carries 1/4 of a man's testimony. That is reality bro.



    All I'm saying is that different social foundations provide different views of Liberty....some produce only tyranny.

    The vast majority of today's Islamic leaders are not "liberal" in any sense of the word.

    Islamic ideology as practiced is for the most part based on conservative religious beliefs that are diametrically opposed to liberalism/libertarianism. While I think opposing beliefs can be tolerated in civil society, statist and anti-libertarian actions or institutions should not be supported by libertarians.

    While it's true there are some *rare* quasi-liberal strands of Islamic thought, these are very small minority views in today's Islam and far from mainstream Islam.

    Therefore I don't see how a libertarian can support or condone those actions of conservative Islamic activists, any more than those of socialists or Marxists.

    What bothers me about this whole debate is what's not being said...

    Why is Obama and the government chiming in on this?

    Is this government property? If so, why is any religious institution being built there.

    If not government property -- why won't Obama shut up and let the property owners and/or local community decide? If the property owners want to have a mosque there, despite local protests, then that's their right. If they don't want to have it there, that's their right too.

    In my community there are restrictions on mosques, in the sense that the Islamic call to prayer has limits and they must adhere to all other property restrictions (same as churches and businesses) etc.

    What the heck does Ron Paul or Obama have to do with it?

    What's ironic about these religious kook Christians in the US is that they actually believe in a book which promotes something very similar to Sharia law. If these mindless cattle really want old testament rule of law, they should get their asses over to Saudi Arabia.

    You know what? I say we bring on the old testament rule of law. I'll be the first in line to chop off the head of one of these backward redneck $#@!s the second they break sky man's ridiculous rules.
