The Tethered Goat

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."—Sir Karl Popper

We learned last week of America’s first beheading by an animal who had served time in prison and recently converted to Islam while incarcerated.  Alton Alexander Nolen’s Facebook page is permeated with the filthy heresy of Islam.

Published in May 2007, Melanie Phillips’ book Londonistan powerfully elucidated that Great Britain was facing a civilizational test and was in danger of being strangulated by political correctness.

In her foreword, Phillips asserts that “Britain is sleepwalking into Islamization.  Under the noses of British intelligence, a network of terrorists and their sympathizers had used Britain to plot, finance, recruit and train for atrocities in the United States and around the world. The scale of this activity was so large that exasperated European security agencies dubbed Britain's capital city Londonistan.”

What, you may ask, does Londonistan have to do with a beheading in Moore, Oklahoma?

Nolen’s mother Joyce said, "My son was raised up in a loving home.  My son was raised up believing in God. My son was a good kid. I know what they're saying he done, but I'm going to tell you this: That's not my son."

Her son supported Nation of Islam leader and prophet of rage Louis Farrakhan who declared that “America must be burned.”  Fanatics like Farrakhan remain free to peddle their poison to lost souls who seek a sense of belonging and a cause which gives their otherwise aimless and petty lives some twisted, demented meaning.

We are discouraged by our betters on the Left from using any part of our lexicon, which they sanctimoniously deem inflammatory, to describe a world that is being polluted by the filthy heresy of Islam.  There is nothing good or noble about being a victim and yet, we are like the tethered goat that can go so far and no farther.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Eric Holder’s Justice Department is expected to issue a broad new policy in the coming weeks banning religious and other forms of profiling by federal law enforcement officers and the prevention of surveillance of a mosque without signs of criminal activity.

When Holder announced his resignation last Thursday rumors were reignited that Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts could be next in line for the country’s top law enforcement job.  The Boston Globe reported that Patrick has “no plans and no interest in making plans to be the next Attorney General.”

He no doubt knows that confirmation by the Senate would stop at the water’s edge because he embraced the Muslim American Society and Imam Abdullah Faaruuq which federal prosecutors have called “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.”  Faaruuq commands his followers to “pick up the gun and the sword.”

The Muslim American Society is connected to Imam William Suhaib Webb the former leader of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma who has ties to al-Qaeda.  The ISGC is the mosque the beheader allegedly attended. 

In 2013 there was a record high 41.3 million immigrants in the U.S., and nearly 300,000 of them came from Muslim countries, and quite possibly could pose a major security threat to America according to the Center for Immigration Studies which based its study on an analysis of Census data from 2010 to 2013.  USA Today reported in 2012 that the number of Islamic places of worship in the United States soared 74% in the past decade.  Islam will overwhelm Christendom without swords, without guns, without conquest.

We must allow the scales to fall from our eyes and demand that local, state and federal authorities do not shrivel and retreat in the face of the “reprimitivization” of the civilized world.

We must refuse to become the tethered goat helplessly awaiting our own slaughter.
