The thing that baffles me...


The thing that baffles me about this topic-- "Islamophobia"-- in general, is that for decades now (especially since the turn of the century though), it's been pretty standard O.P., for people who typically align with the political left, to raise all hell in order to remove religion-- errr, Christianity-- from everywhere they possibly can... schools, any kind of "government" buildings, workplaces, etc. There are still calls for "God" to be removed from currency and the Pledge of Allegiance. The people opposed to Christianity existing in their presence always talk about how they shouldn't be "forced" to have to be around, and listen to, anything they don't believe in (which is fine-- it's actually an understandable position, and I can understand the separation of church and state).

So I know not ALL people who fall to the left on the political spectrum are fighting this fight, but of the people who are, you can bet that almost every single one is of the left-wing persuasion. The thing about all of this that baffles me is that it's those EXACT SAME people who are ACTIVELY fighting to have countless Muslim "refugees" imported into the US, and those exact same people who call others "Islamophobic" when those others aren't ready to just accept Islam with open arms, and no questions asked (kinda like how, as mentioned above, they love to trash, discredit, and attempt to eliminate Christianity-- but that's apparently different...). I guess I'm just curious as to why the very people who have fought tooth and nail to keep Christians from praying in certain public places, are fighting equally to usher in a SIGNIFICANTLY more strict and aggressive ideology, that (whether anyone likes it or not) tends to produce a fair share of radical extremists, who WILL kill themselves, along with as many random, innocent people as they can take with them, in the NAME of said ideology? And that's not even considering the general anti-American/anti-"Western" mentality that so many followers of Islam seem to hold. And just like where I mentioned "left-wingers" above, and acknowledged it's not all of them, I also fully understand not all Muslims are extremists, and not all hate the US/west. My point remains though... Why are the same people who want to rid society of Christianity, also trying to import Islam in massive numbers? And I REALLY don't understand how those people have the nerve to call others "Islamophobic" for rejecting an ideology, as if that's not exactly what they've done with regards to Christianity.

This isn't meant to be a trash talking post. I'm legitimately trying to understand this, because it all seems pretty hypocritical and pathetic to me. Can someone enlighten me please?
