Hollywood cowards refuse to say radical Islam

Hollywood always comes to the rescue after national tragedies, offering their celebrity status to bring more attention to the cause du jour. But in their latest attempt to honor the victims of the Orlando terror attack, the stars were less inclined to blame radical Islam and more inclined to charge Republicans with the crime.

The usual suspects were all there: Lady Gaga, Jane Fonda, Caitlyn Jenner, Sofia Vergara, Kathy Bates, Jamie Lee Curtis, among others. At first, their appearance in the Human Rights Campaign video was a meaningful look into the personal lives of the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre. Each celebrity took the time to not only read the names of each victim, but to offer a glimpse into the life of each person. But the beautiful tribute that lasted for 99% of the video was tarnished when during the last minute, the video’s true purpose was made known: ignore radical Islam, blame Republicans, and push for gun control laws.

This is part and parcel to the Left’s mantra of never letting a crisis go to waste. Instead of acknowledging the hate that is essential to Islamic fundamentalism, including the hate that throws homosexuals off of buildings on a daily basis in the Middle East, these celebrities focused on guns and the hate crime perpetrated by a man with a gun, not a man that swore allegiance to ISIS.

Ryan Murphy, an openly gay producer that appeared in the video, said, “It’s madness that 90 percent of our country wants stricter gun control laws and yet we’re held hostage by this select group of Republicans. I think people are getting angry about it.”

See? It’s not Islam’s fault, it’s Republicans’.

Jamie Lee Curtis told The Hollywood Reporter after filming her segment, “We’re in the middle of an election year that’s so wildly polarized. Trying to find some common link as humanity in this country right now feels difficult with the rhetoric coming out of the Republican Party, but I certainly hope a movement will come where we will all join together and say this is not OK.”

Not to say radical Islam “is not OK,” but that America’s right to the Second Amendment “is not OK.”

But this is the core of Hollywood: simply following in the footsteps of the president they adore, who, coincidentally, also refuses to identify these attacks against Americans as radical Islam.

As is rightly concluded at Hollywood in Toto:

These Hollywood cowards make us less safe, and more vulnerable, to the next terror attack.
