Hashtag Sheep

The recent attack on London was horrific.  It was a terrible act committed by terrible people.  It was also a glaring failure of leadership by European politicians as a whole.  They encouraged acceptance of un-vetted migrants for the sake of political correctness and the appeasement of liberal, bleeding-heart voters.  They invited wolves into the fold and everyone is shocked when they kill a few sheep. 

     But what do the sheep do when the wolves attack?  They defend the wolves and call the shepherds racists.  For too long now the liberal left has been unwilling to accept any narrative or evidence that runs contrary to their agenda.  Islamist terrorist attack after Islamist terrorist attack ad infinium and they still claim that the perpetrators aren’t Muslim.  I’m sorry but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck and kills while reciting passages from the Quran, it might be a Muslim duck.  Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all recent terror attacks are committed by Muslims. 

     It’s amazing how people online were defending the “real” Muslims before the attack was even labeled as a terrorist attack.  Why can’t people just be honest?  Or is it that liberal society has so conditioned us to be accepting of those who wish to do us harm.  Society also refuses to demand condemnation from so-called peaceful mosques and imams.  I can tell you that if a group of Christians were committing these atrocities in the name of Jesus, every preacher and priest across the globe would be renouncing them and disavowing them.  The response from the Muslim community is token, at best. 

     Why do the people of the Western world think that “standing in unity”, crying for peace and lighting candles will deter these attacks?  To the jihadi, these acts are weakness and simply encourage more of the same.  They don’t care that you defend the Muslim faith every time they kill in the name of Allah.  They don’t care that you changed your profile pic to a flag.  They certainly don’t care that you “stand strong” while not actually doing anything to defend yourselves.  Until you literally fight back, then you are a victim waiting for your turn.  Jihad is a holy WAR.  It doesn’t get solved with hashtags.
