Islamists can\u2019t do the job of subversion all by themselves. They need help. Other people have to prepare the ground for them. Luckily for the Islamists, liberals, leftists, and secularists have been busy preparing the ground for years\u2014in schools, in academia, in the media, in government, in the corporate world, and elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chief aim of cultural jihad is the imposition of sharia law. And one of the key features of sharia is its blasphemy laws. Where sharia rules, criticism of Islam or its prophet is a crime. It may be hard to imagine blasphemy laws being introduced to the U.S., but criticism of Islam is already a crime<\/a> in much of Europe. If blasphemy laws did come to the U.S.\u2014if it became a crime to criticize Islam\u2014where would the Simmons librarians stand? Whose side would they take? Would they suddenly think, \u201cThis has gone too far. I never realized where all this would lead\u201d? Not likely. If you think \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d is a micro-aggression against Muslims, you\u2019ve already got one foot planted in the sharia camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the librarians of Simmons College are a small group. But it\u2019s easy to imagine that much larger groups in our society would go along with a law limiting the right to question Islam. Take registered Democrats, for instance. That\u2019s a pretty big group. A 2017 Rasmussen poll<\/a> showed that \u201cDemocrats are more likely to think that Muslims are mistreated in America than to think that Christians are persecuted in the Islamic world.\u201d Considering that 90,000 Christians died for their faith in 2016 compared to a reported 127 Muslim victims of assault in the U.S., that\u2019s quite a disconnect from reality. But of course, it\u2019s not reality that rules in much of modern America, it\u2019s the narrative. For many Democrats, anti-blasphemy laws would be seen as simply another form of affirmative action\u2014just compensation for years of hatred against Muslims.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And you are still<\/em> a Democrat?  Have you been paying attention? <\/span><\/p>\n

As for narratives, the beauty of a narrative is that it doesn't have to be true to be a narrative. It suffices that it serves the agenda of those whose narrative it is.<\/span><\/p>\n
