But it does.
How so?
There is, in the West, a 1400 year epic of Prophet exalting and Prophet slandering.
For the first 1000 years, Prophet exalting had a good run. Prophet exalters on horseback with scimitars invaded peaceful Christian, Jewish, and pagan lands, slaughtering and conquering. Within a century of the first Prophet exaltations, the Prophet exalters enslaved more of the earth than any Roman emperor. Medieval science and arts flourished in the conquered lands-- the genius of the infidels and dhimmis was expropriated by their new masters, who stole ideas and bequeathed only submission.
There were a few missteps in the run-- Charles Martel at Tours, Richard the Lionhearted-- but Prophet exaltation was the growth stock.
By the fifteenth century, the Prophet exalters had sucked the dhimmi dry, and the genius, cut off from its Christian and Jewish roots by the arid Islamic soil, withered.
The Prophet slanderers rose.
They defended their lands from the exalters, at Lepanto and Vienna, twice. They flushed the Prophet exalters from Iberia, and reclaimed their civilization. And the transformation followed.
In the lands of the Prophet slanderers-- and only in the lands of the Prophet slanderers-- real science dropped roots and flourished. Within a few short centuries the Prophet slanderers had opened the book of the physical world-- the heavens and the earth-- and divined the mathematical laws of God's own creation. In the lands of the Prophet slanderers, philosophy and painting and government and technology and literature and music flourished, as learning and art and philosophy and science withered and rotted in the lands of the Prophet exalters.
By the 18th century, the Prophet exalters were consumed with impotent rage, and maniacs who thought the Prophet insufficiently exalted founded garish kingdoms in the sand.
By the 20th century, the sick remnant of the Prophet exalters picked the wrong team in the Great War, and the Prophet exalters were laid waste by civilization-- civilization then, as now, synonymous with Prophet slandering.
Today, the civilized world is that of Prophet slanderers. All science, all technology, nearly all of the West's literature, art, and music are the work of Prophet slanderers, not Prophet exalters. It is astonishing how little Prophet exalting does in the world, except violence.
The only product of the Prophet exalters today, besides rage-- is discovered, drilled, refined, and consumed by the Prophet slanderers.
So, Mr. President, the future does belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
Nearly all of that which mankind can be most proud-- science, and philosophy and technology and art-- is the creation of the Prophet slanderers.
Prophet slanderers have created the West. Why, now, should Prophet slanderers submit to Prophet exalters?

In the very next sentence he takes on the hypocrisy of Muslims and effectively lumps them in with “those that slander the prophet”. I would have joined the general assembly in their applause.
ReplyDeleteHere is the full paragraph. And I would encourage everyone to read the full speech to trully get the proper context. Most of it I’m sure even Egnor would agree with.
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.
(APPLAUSE)
“Why, now, should Prophet slanderers submit to Prophet exalters?”
ReplyDeleteNothing in Obama’s speech suggests that they should. You are smart enough to know you are taking a single sentence out of context and building a straw man around it. You are a manipulative little liar, leveraging stupid people’s fear and bigotry to get your way.

ReplyDeleteLying comes as naturally to Egnor as honesty does to decent people.
ReplyDeleteFunny, Obama was talking about Egnor…and me. He’s wise wise man.
