"When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them."
 – The Quran, Surah 9:5

Islam is anything if not ironic.

"A teenaged bomber on Thursday targeted a Kabul auditorium packed with people watching a drama condemning suicide attacks," reports Reuters. "Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the bomber targeted the event because it was staged 'to insult Islamic values and spread propaganda about our jihad operations, especially on suicide attacks.'"
And so, in defense of "Islamic values" and to dispel "propaganda" about "suicide attacks," Muhammad Jr. blows himself into pork-sausage, killing one and wounding 16.

Ah, Islam.

Merriam Webster defines "phobia" as, "an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation."

"Progressives" are crafty little buggers. One of their favorite sleights of hand is to disingenuously brand as "phobic" anyone with reasoned moral disapproval of their very unreasonable and immoral social deconstructionism.

It works like this: Take any objective evil, say, homosexual sin. State its prefix, "homo." Just add "phobia," and voila! The person who holds to the millennia-old precepts of authentic biblical sexual morality is no longer a "Christian," but, rather, is magically transformed into that mythical creature called "The Homophobe."

Cute.

The same applies to so-called "Islamophobia." It's not an "illogical fear" if they really are trying to kill you. Islam is the "religion of peace" in the same way that rape is snuggling. A central tenet of Islam is to convert, enslave or kill the infidel. An infidel is anyone who is not Muslim or, depending on who's doing the killing, belongs to a different sect of Islam. Those who fall into that minority category tagged "moderate Muslim," are also infidels.

"Moderate Muslim" is a contradiction in terms. It is intrinsically oxymoronic. Whereas "moderate" (read: liberal) "Christians," such as those belonging to the PCUSA, embrace certain apostasies that run directly counter to the biblical teachings of Christianity (which is the true "religion of peace"), "moderate Muslims," likewise, embrace an apostate version of Islam that runs directly counter to the clear teachings of the Quran.

Whereas devout followers of Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, are characteristically peaceful; devout followers of that child-raping, woman-beheading "prophet" Muhammad, who was demon incarnate, are characteristically violent.

Islam is Christianity's photo-negative. While Christianity brings eternal life to those choosing to surrender to Jesus, who alone is "the Way, the Truth and the Life;" Islam brings eternal death to those who surrender to "Allah," who is "the best of deceivers" ("[A]nd Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers." [see Surah 3:54]).

It's worth mentioning here that the Bible similarly calls Satan a deceiver. Revelation 12:9, for instance, explains that he "deceives the whole world." Even though it is often claimed that Muslims, Christians and Jews "worship the same God," nothing could be further from the truth. Allah is not God. Allah is the deceiver, and insofar as Christianity, true Christianity, spreads peace, love and truth – Islam, true Islam, spreads violence, hate and deception. Allah is definitely real. He's just not God. Though he wanted to "ascend above the tops of the clouds" and "make [himself] like the Most High" (see Isaiah 14:14), Allah, most assuredly, is not God.

Which brings us to ISIS – Head-chopping, man sodomizing, child torturing, Jew-killing, Christian-sawing, women-enslaving ISIS. The Islamic State is not the exception to the rule; the Islamic state is the rule. ISIS is Islam and Islam is ISIS.

The aforementioned secular-"progressives" love Islam. While the mainstream media won't adequately cover it – it doesn't fit their narrative – you need only look to the new media to see that the Middle East runs red with the blood of Christian and Jewish martyrs. These are peaceful men, women and children, no different from you or me, being slaughtered by the tens-of-thousands at the wicked hands of the Islamic faithful.

And so the media busy themselves with Kim Kardashian and "hands up don't shoot!"

While there are exceptions, the left is overwhelmingly anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-Muslim. Liberals and Islamists, such as those belonging to the American-Islamic terrorist group CAIR, as well as Obama's pals in the Muslim Brotherhood, have forged a bizarre and notably incongruous sociopolitical partnership I call the "Islamo-'progressive' axis of evil." The only explanation for this, as far as I can tell, is best illustrated by the maxim: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The common enemy, of course, is likewise signified by an alliance. It consists of Christians and Jews worldwide. It, too, is built around a shared cause. But this cause, unlike that of the Islamo-progressive axis, intends freedom, not tyranny – representative democracy, not control. Most importantly, this Judeo-Christian cause is built upon the rock of truth given us by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of the living, not the dead. The great "I Am."

The common enemy to both the Muslim and the "progressive" is truth.

The common enemy is Christ.
