Need one ask?
As I wrote elsewhere,
“Islamophobia” is a
liberal taboo-word coined to do the same propaganda work as their other
creation, “homophobia.”
Each does a kind of
Orwellian double duty.
The latter term serves
to indiscriminately damn any and all negative beliefs about or attitudes toward
either gays or homosexuality, and public expressions of them.
The former does the
same to negative beliefs about or attitudes toward Muslims or Islam, and their
public expression.
Both are modeled on
the equally taboo-laden terms, “racism” and “anti-Semitism.”
And all are trotted
out to support liberal political, cultural, or other positions or goals by
licensing even the most vicious efforts to silence and punish any who utter
such thoughts or manifest such attitudes by, for example, getting them fired
(in America) or legally punished (in Europe).
So, even if, contrary to fact, Christianity’s negative
handling of homosexuality had historically been no worse than the nuns’ attitude
toward chewing gum during Lent, it would have counted as homophobia.
That’s the Orwellian beauty of the word.
But in fact Christianity’s history with regard to homosexuality
is all too comparable to its history with regard to the Jews.
As for the details recounted in PB’s article, what is
striking is how successful the liberal, post-Christian morality has been.
Still, when you are done reading you have to wonder what
disobedience, and to what hypothesized laws, he is talking about.
