The IslamoKlan Meme Spreads

Blogger Christopher B. Wright has picked up on what I wrote the other day in The Muslim BrotherhoodKlan–and drawn a cartoon about it!

PEEP THE CARTOON.

He also adds commentary at the end of the cartoon, starting with some text that may clear away an important misunderstanding:

I suspect that someone, somewhere, is going to look at this cartoon
and decide that I am equating Islam with the Ku Klux Klan. Which is a
wholly irrational reaction to have, unless you also believe that KKK
and Christianity are exactly the same thing. That
would be a very peculiar position to take given Dr. Martin Luther
King’s profession (he was a Baptist minister), but I suppose it could
be done.

It would perhaps be more accurate to say that I am equating a
specific group within Islam with the KKK. A group that uses violence
and terror in order to advance a political agenda, a political agenda
that hides behind the justification of faith.

So it seems the IslamoKlan meme is starting to spread.

As Montgomery Burns would say: "Exxxxxx-celent."

Maybe other bloggers will consider adopting this meme.

Let the shaming continue!

  5. But what good does it do to shame these guys in English language blogs in the West? They’re already pretty shameful-looking around these parts.

  6. I have a question – is one of the main roots of differences between Islam and Christianity, the Christian idea that God is Love? I have heard over and over again that Muslims deny that God loves us and that they think that such an idea is preposterous.
    Do Muslims agree that Love is a good thing which should comprise God’s essence, or do they simply see it as a worldy, natural emotion which is not a supernatural ideal?
    If this is the case, it would be easy to see why Love is not the answer for them, and outrage and anger and threats are justified (in their minds) rather than attempts to keep peace. Their highest supernatural ideal, it seems, is submission and defending a God (who doesn’t love us) at any cost, since a supernatural ideal such as love (which could lead to peace) has no place in their thinking.
    We would have to attack the core of the problem by making Muslims see that God is Love. How would we do that? And how could we do that, when “Love” might already be interpreted as leniency, permissiveness, looser morals, etc., that is, “Love” being perceived as a core value in the West which they perceive contributes to the breakdown of Western society?
