Liars or Fools: Which Govern America?
Itâs one or the other when it comes to the mainstream narrative on Islam.

If those running the show still donât âget it,â the overwhelming majority of Americans have by now learned, in Donald Trumpâs words, that âthereâs something going onâ with Islam, âYou see the hatred. I mean, we see it every day.â
âWe see it every dayâ is absolutely correctâhence why those who deny it must either be liars or fools. (See âMuslim Persecution of Christians,â reports which Iâve been compiling every month since July 2011, and witness the nonstop violence and carnage committed against non-Muslim minorities living under Islam.)
Still, Kenneyâs falsehoods and/or foolishness are mainstream. Most politiciansâpractically every democrat but also a majority of republicansâmakes the same claims, beginning with U.S. President Obama who insists that the Islamic State âis not Islamic,â calls for the ârejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror,â and classified the Fort Hood massacre as âworkplace violence,â despite the overwhelming evidence that it was jihad.
More recently, democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton admonished us to get aboard the wishful thinking bandwagon: âMuslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.â Republican leaders like John McCain say that âunequivocally, without a doubt, the religion of Islam is an honorable and reasonable religion. ISIS has nothing to do with the reality of Islam.â âConservativeâ talking heads like Bill OâReilley flippantly dismiss jihad as âa perversion of Islam, we all know that.â
And so it goes. In the context of the most recent slaughter of Americans at the hands of Muslimsâone last December and one last November, both in Californiaâthe usual chorus of politicians, media, and others made the same tired claims.
Despite the evidence that the Muslim couple that massacred 14 people in San Bernardino was motivated by Islamic teachings of jihad against the hated âinfidel,â Obama claimed âWe do not know their motivations.â Chris Hayes and MSNBC were also âbaffledâ in their search for a motive.
Despite the many indicators that the Muslim student who went on a stabbing spree in UC Merced was motivated by Islamâhe was described as a âdevout Muslim,â had an ISIS flag, and praised Allah in his manifestoââlocal and federal authorities continue to insist that Faisal Mohammad, 18, carried out the vicious attack because heâd been banished from a study group.â
In response, the father of Byron Price, who was stabbed while defending some Merced victims, observed that, âEveryone is afraid to be politically incorrect⌠t seems like to me we arenât getting the whole story. I just wonder how much of this is driven from way higher up and is politically driven â I just donât know.â
Unfortunately, it was one thing to be politically correct when America existed in a utopian bubble away from all the nastiness âover there,â but to be politically correct at this late hour when the tentacles of the global jihad are well entrenched in America is suicidal, literally.
Either way, political correctness is a fancy way of saying âlyingââ bringing us right back to our question and a final observation: It doesnât matter if those running the show are liars or fools, for at dayâs end, the result is the same: the worldâs strongest nation lays paralyzed before a vicious threat that grows more emboldened by the day.
