Adding to Hitchens’ deconstruction of Islam,

…now, that one thing is that Islam is incoherent, parochial, backwards, stupid, brutal and basically false, as much is clear from not only Hitchens’ words and wit, but from the sources of scholarship on the subject. More unsettling is that that the political tradition that has historically, or at least over the past 200 or so years been in opposition to these religions of old, have over the past fifty years increasingly made themselves useful idiots for degrading western intellectual discourse and progressivism as well as societal coherence and stability by watering down the toxic nature of a backwards nomadic religion as entirely permissible, nay outright _desirable_ in the cultural makeup of a modern society. Now, actual, true to traditionally leftists are somewhat seen as heretics in the contemporary left-leaning political sphere since it is comme-il-faut to pay lip service to the culturally enhancing effect of open borders to people who have neither contributed to an affluent society by their labor yet expect to reap the benefit of membership of it, nor has added to and is less likely to contribute in maintaining a secular and progressive society of openness, absence of religious dominance of the citizenry, or the equal legal rights or general dignity of women.

Odd is it also that the degraded ranks of leftists have kowtow’d to what can likewise be considered a bastardized version of the economic-liberal notion of “free movement of labor”, only that it is less labor asmuch as it is a free movement of dysculture.
