Prior to September 11, 2001, Afghanistan’s repressive Taliban regime was known to most of the world only on account of a single controversy involving its decision to destroy two ancient Buddhist statues. Of course reaction to this incident was one of universal outrage, loudly condemned across the political spectrum as an abominable example of religious tyranny.
Yet this desire by the Taliban to obliterate all religious symbolism with which it took umbrage has an ominous parallel within the borders of America in the systematic efforts by the ACLU and its ideological supporters to expunge every Christian expression from the public square. If anything, the Taliban were at least a bit more forthright as to their ultimate goal of imposing Islam on the population at large, while working to forcibly eradicate all other religious thought.
Of course the ACLU hasn’t gone it alone, often enlisting various countercultural organizations, such as the euphemistically named “People for the American Way” to carry its water. Furthermore, an increasing number of institutions employ tactics learned from the ACLU wherein sanctimonious pontificating, threats, and intimidation are invoked as a means and justification for banning outward symbols of Christianity.
Meanwhile, the various organizations throughout America that regularly protest any symbology of the Christian faith are just as often amenable and supportive of crescents, crystals, and the assorted icons of every spiritual alternative. Hardly the trappings of a single affiliated religion, they nonetheless comprise a common effort to undermine and eventually destroy the original spiritual bedrock of American society.
Other signs of this predominantly left-wing assault abound. Thus, the many parallels and similarities between the methods of the American left and militant Islam, though not universally equitable, must be recognized and evaluated for their true ramifications.
Consider, for one example, efforts of the Islamofacists to disrupt, apparently at all costs, the elections in Iraq. Clearly aware that the will of the people of that region, if aired at the ballot box, will undeniably speak against their brutality and despotism, the Islamists will diligently work against the ability of the common citizenry to state their opinions in such a manner.
