It is fascinating to see how extreme ideologies from different parts of the world are so similar.
The Quran 5:51 says “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”
Now over to Seattle, Washington.
According to The Seattle Times:
“One council member, Tim Burgess, tried to highlight this basic agreement by noting that ‘even some of our Republican friends’ have been calling for seismic changes to the incarceration system…
Kshama Sawant wasn’t having any of that. She stood up and said Burgess wasn’t speaking for her with this ‘our Republican friends’ stuff. Because, she assured the crowd, she doesn’t have any Republican friends.
Yay, cheered the crowd.”
To be a member of the faithful, one cannot associate with non-believers. How can one maintain a purity of belief if ther firends can influence them with heretical thoughts.
In such a case one is then bound by faith to fight the unbelievers, by running them over with a car, blowing them up at concerts, bashing them in the heads with bike locks or pelting them from the rooftops with bricks.
We are reaching a critical mass were when you end up with a knife in your ribs, it’s is as likely that that last thing you hear is “no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” as it is “Allah akbar.”
They are sister ideologies.
Remember when they used to use the word “extremist”? I don’t recall hearing that term in a very long time. But I think it applies in both of these cases.
Yup.
Amen J.Kb! The sooner rather than later please. I hate to kick this can down the road to my children.
