The recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage has highlighted once again, as Mark Steyn notes, the precarious alliance between progressives and Muslims: only in the leftist imagination could “a nice chichi gay couple at 27 Elm Street and a fire-breathing imam and his four child brides at 29 Elm Street” be a recipe for social harmony.
But the issue was all but decided without any real contest in 2010 when Judith Butler, the intellectual doyenne of the progressive queer community, declared her primary allegiance to lie with Muslims, even Muslim gay bashers.
She refused to accept an award from a German gay pride organization because it had expressed concern over Muslim anti-gay violence.
While not actually denying Muslim anti-gay violence, Butler made it clear that talking about it is a form of Islamophobia strictly off limits even amongst those gays with reason to fear for their lives.
...Is there any group amongst progressives who might still refuse to become Sharia-compliant?
I hold a small shred of hope for progressive dog owners: that they may find within themselves the heart to stand and say “Thus far and no further!”
Many progressives may still not be aware — given media silence on all criticism of Islam — that many Muslims dislike dogs as “unclean” animals according to Islamic religious edict, insisting that they be kept away from parks, beaches, and taxi cabs.
The treatment of dogs in Islamic countries is worse than inhumane.
