Like many of you, I was enjoying my weekend when the news of the London stabbings came across my phone and consciousness. Again? I thought*.  So soon after the Manchester attacks?* But the timing isn’t what makes the deaths horrific.  Many of you remember the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, which killed six people and injured over a thousand.  And you’ll never forget watching the attacks on the World Trade Center occur on live television on September 11th.  Spacing them out doesn’t make them more acceptable.

After September 11th, George W. Bush bent over backwards to assure us that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Islam. “The face of terrorism not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace,” he told a devastated nation.  “These terrorists don’t represent peace, they represent evil and war . . . When we think of Islam, we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world . . .and that’s made brothers and sisters out of every race.”

Okay, so now let’s just stop pretending. I’m not going to try to tell you what “true Islam” is, because I’m not a Muslim. I really wish our elected officials would just stop trying to be “Theologians-in Chief.” If all the death in the UK in the last few months isn’t enough to convince us that Islam has a “killing us” problem, what is?

“Tolerance” becomes stupidity when it is leading to the death of innocents.   For too long, the PC left has indoctrinated our population in the Western world with the idea that all religions are equal.  For too long, the left has referred to Islam generally as “a religion of peace.” Yet during Ramadan alone, Islamic terrorism has accounted for approximately 150 deaths.   No other religion is connected to terrorist murder on a mass scale. As Matt Walsh tweeted, “Funny how Christians manage to celebrate their holy days and holy seasons without murdering anyone!”
