In the latest example of political correctness gone awry, a member of Britain’s Labor Party by the name of Naz Shah recently came out against girls who have been victims of Muslim rape gangs, even going so far as to say they need to “shut their mouths” in the spirit of diversity.
Shah retweeted a tweet originally posted by a spoof account pretending to be leftist Owen Jones, which read, “Exactly Areeq, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of #diversity!” It’s hard to believe that anyone would be so ignorant and uncompassionate about such a serious issue, but apparently for some leftists, even sexual assault is to be ignored if it gets in the way of the advancement of their agenda.
But kissing the feet of Islamic extremists isn’t something that is unique to Naz Shah of Britain’s Labor Party. Indeed, leftists in our own country have always been quick to sympathize with Muslims, even as the more radical ones continue to cut off heads and rape little girls.
Take Barack Obama for example, who truly was one of the weakest, most submissive and unpatriotic leaders that this country has ever seen. On numerous occasions, Obama rushed to the defense of the religion of Islam, in many cases even painting Muslims as victims of intolerance and bigotry. In a 2012 speech before the UN, for instance, Obama famously declared, “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Another example comes from just last year, when Barack Obama was asked during a town hall event why he refuses to use the term “Islamic terrorism” to describe the numerous foreign and domestic attacks carried out by ISIS. “What I have been careful about when I describe these issues is to make sure that we do not lump these murderers into the billion Muslims that exist around the world, including in this country, who are peaceful, who are responsible, who, in this country, are fellow troops and police officers and fire fighters and teachers and neighbors and friends,” Obama explained. (Related: Politically correct language control is a danger to society.)
Obama has claimed in the past that his refusal to use the term “Islamic terrorism” has nothing to do with adhering to political correctness, but a leftist saying that they aren’t being politically correct is like a comedian saying they aren’t being funny – it’s just part of who they are. Obama was absolutely trying to be politically correct and he knows it.
And yet, political correctness has gotten us nowhere; as a matter of fact, there is a strong case to be made that it has actually done more harm than good. Time and time again, Democrats in Washington D.C. have sacrificed national security for political correctness, all so that at the end of the day they can call themselves “compassionate,” “accepting” and “diverse.”
Take, for example, the Democrats’ refusal to secure the southern border and their endless push to grant amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. They tell us that discarding our existing immigration laws and letting unvetted foreigners stay in our country is the “fair and compassionate” thing to do, when in reality, it’s putting thousands of innocent lives at risk. Kate Steinle, the girl who was gunned down by an illegal alien in the sanctuary city of San Francisco, may very well have still been alive today had it not been for political correctness.
And yet the liberals continue their push, in Britain, in the United States and elsewhere, to transform society into what they consider to be a fair and just utopia, when in reality, they are bringing about our destruction.
