The left’s favorite American Olympic athlete came nowhere close to winning a single medal, but she is beloved because she is a Mohammedan who openly hates America as a racist country. (Hillary Clinton ignored America’s first gold medalist, but was happy to sing the praises of the America-bashing Mohammedan who won nothing.) And the same leftists who mock Mormons for Temple garments worn under their clothing think her hijab (a.k.a. Islamic Slave Collar) is cool and chic.
They don’t care about her as an athlete, or even as a person. They only care about her value as a symbol. You may find it odd that the American left has suddenly decided to embrace a religion that unapologetically oppresses women and openly hates gays; a religion that is historically synonymous with the African slave trade. If you do, you do not understand the left.
The Democrat candidate for Senate in North Carolina is a former head of the state ACLU who once threatened to sue an elementary school for allowing children to sing Christmas songs at a PTA meeting. The notion that children singing Christmas carols is tantamount to the establishment of state religion is absurd to any rational person. The left’s insistence that non-Christians have their feelings hurt when they hear a Christmas carol or see a Nativity Scene in a public park was the origin, I think, of the whole Tyranny of the Feelings we suffer today. But how can the left thoroughly despise one religion. Christianity, that preaches things left-wingers claim to believe (tolerance, love for other people including your enemies) and embrace a religion, Islam, that preaches intolerance and is antithetical to the left’s self-proclaimed positions on women, gays, and minorities?
The foremost motivation of the left is the will to power. And their chosen path to power is through an all-powerful state that completely regulates not just the government, but also the economy, and ultimately the thoughts and interactions of all their citizens.
A society where Christianity is universally embraced and broadly practiced would have no need of a powerful central state to regulate and control human behavior. Hence, the Christian church is a rival to the left for power. “We can’t abide people letting some church run their lives,” they proclaim loudly, while quietly whispering, “That’s our job.”
The strain of anti-Christianity runs deep in the American left. This, and political advantage, are why the left and Islam have made common cause.
Leftists and moslems give people the same 3 choices
1 convert
2 die
3 pay high taxes (jizya)
Leftists also think they can change moslems by saying “a man who beats his wife is not a moslem that’s a fact” & control via super delegates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJAL6xgViqg
You cannot explain insanity.
“she is a Mohammedan who openly hates America as a racist country”
Please show me where Ibtihaj Muhammad said she hates America.
If I were allowed to ask Muhammad a question, I’d ask her why she’d choose to remain in a country where she feels unsafe.
I’m sure there must be a predominantly Muslim country that would be happy to welcome her. There are around 50 countries that are Islamic to one degree or another (mild to ISIS/Taliban) so she’s spoiled for choice.
I don’t give a hoot what she wears – it’s a free country. The thing that gets my goat is that lefties don’t seem to get a central point: it’s not women in the West choosing to wear a a scarf, veil, or the full body bag; it’s that women, even in the West, may not have any say in the matter. Mark Steyn has written often of women in, say, London or Stockholm, going out “covered” so as to reduce the static they get from fierce, bearded Muslim men.
It’s not choosing to be “covered”; it’s choosing to not be “covered”.
Hmmm…. I am put in mind of the person who is NeverHillary and NeverTrump.
Suppose we reach the crossroad where there are only two choices: (1) rule by the anti-Christianity left or (2) conversion to Islam or dhimmitude under Islamic rule.
The first choice is subservience to the holy writ of correctness emanating from the all powerful state and the resulting thugocray; the second choice is subservience to a theocratic reading of Koranic tea leaves and the resulting thugocracy.

In your link nowhere does she say she “hates America” so unless you have some other link should we assume you are slandering her?
If so will you apologize to her?
Since in your post you boast that a Christian society has no need for a strong government (showing your historical ignorance) I assume you are a Christian. If so I think you had better follow the teaching of your religion and apologize and then you might consider stop slandering.
Of course if you do have some proof that she does indeed “hate America” then carry on.
I’m sorry she hates America so much she has nothing good to say about her country. I am also sorry she hates Jews. Maybe if she wasn’t a Nazi like you, mikey, she would realize just how good she has it here in the US.
Craig Smith: “You cannot explain insanity.”
But, there is generally a “logic” to it, especially when it’s a chosen insanity. And, once you understand that “logic”, you can anticipate where next the insanity will demand its practitioners go.
littlelettermikey, the fascist:
There is a fair amount of gibberish in this quote from Ibtihaj Muhammad, but you can not escape the tone and message. She feels entirely unsafe in America. She claims her hijab arouses bigotry. The bigotry she claims she suffers does not parallel the bigotry of “the shooting in North Carolina” or the bigotry of “the rhetoric around the Khan family.” We don’t actually hear directly from her what the cause of this bigotry is, but know it is severe in her view of reality.
“It’s ridiculous and we as a country have to change and I feel like this is our moment.”
Now, littlelettermikey, the fascist, what sort of love for America do you ferret out from a woman who feels unsafe “all the time” because of the sea of bigotry sees senses is surrounding her, even “right on 28th and 7th in New York City?” And her solution is to have America (“the country”) change. Get that? She hates America as it is (in her eyes) and she wants to change America to a land where she does not feel unsafe “all the time” and there is no argument with the dictates of her religion which include compliance with the Quran, the Hadith, Shari’a and affectations like the hijab.
Suppose, littlelettermikey, the fascist, that the Amish were to hate America for its electricity, automobiles, processed food and culture in general. You would, I presume, stand up for Jacob waving his black hat and demanding that all bigots bow down to the Amish doctrine.
What pisses me off most about sniveling liberal cupcakes like you, littlelettermikey, the fascist, is that you have an entirely warped sense of equality and justice. You are constantly firing off your mealy mouth stuff about what ails the “victims” you choose to promote. But be very clear: if you disagree with someone, you cannot bring yourself to see that someone as one of your set-upon “victims.”
So, off you go, tilting at the windmills of your mind and coming here to act the skunk at a garden party for no other cause than to raise a stink.
Take VtheK’s challenge and defend the unification of Shari’a with Western law and the impossible blending of the Quranic “supremacy” claim with all other religions including gay bathhouse initiations, satanism and gender equality. But you won’t take that on, because as loopy as you are, you know it can not be done.
You operate under the tenet that it is better to throw a brick into the crowd and run and hide and giggle than it is to stand up and defend your ideology. Post your argument and stick around for the back and forth or slink away as usual. Is does not really matter, because you continue to show that your pin pricks are basically inconsequential.
Great point about the Hijab being like the Shroud of Turin to the left, but the Mormon garment being an object of ridicule and scorn. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder, as Mike proves every time he comments here. The cognitive dissonance required to square such hypocrisy makes the left unhinged.
Funny, mikey, you didn’t say word one when your “Christian” Harry Reid and your “Christian” Jon Huntsman flat-out slandered Mitt Romney and insisted it was justified because Romney didn’t win.
So since you’ve never condemned their behavior, accused them of not following the teaching of their religion, or demanded they apologize and stop slandering, you’re just a pathetic sniveling hypocrite.
And since you’re a pathetic sniveling hypocrite, mikey, what is obvious is that YOU are lying, slandering and trying to manipulate others through abusing their belief systems.
That makes you a con man and an abuser. And until you repudiate your own hypocrisy, this post will be posted following yours at every opportunity, showing how you are a malicious, malignant liar and hypocrite.
