In our contemporary West, the children and heirs of Socrates, Dante Alighieri, Thomas Aquinas, Nicholas Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and the rest have legalized weed, sparked up a fatty, and settled back into a comfortable haze, turning off their minds, relaxing, and floating downstream.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Just saw this on the feed:
‘Muslim advocacy group asks Greenwich synagogue to reconsider Ayaan Hirsi Ali appearance”
These terrorists from cair have colossal nerve. The various *chapters* of the hamas-funders invite all manner of muzzies to their snakes nests to speak and encourage their warfare against everyone they see as ‘infidels,’ and then they poke their fat ugly noses into the business of Jews and Christians to tell them what persons shouldn’t be invited to synagogues and churches.
GREENWICH — A Muslim organization is speaking out against what its members see as a controversial speaker scheduled to appear at Temple Sholom in Greenwich on Thursday.
Farhan Memon, chairperson of the Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, wrote to Rabbi Mitchell Hurvitz, the temple, and its Board of Trustees on Tuesday to express the council’s concerns regarding a visit from Ayaan Hirsi Ali.”
The gall, the audacity, the arrogant nerve. The goon and his kind say the worst things possible about the rest of us….and do the usual threatening….of every Christian and Jew.
“Memon said Hirsi Ali’s public record “extends far beyond criticism of particular doctrines, governments, or extremist movements,” as Memon argues Hirsi Ali has condemned Islam as a whole and portrayed ordinary Muslims as members of an inherently dangerous and hostile religious community.’

“Hosting Hirsi Ali, particularly without a credible Muslim speaker to challenge her, is not conducive to Temple Sholom’s mission of creating a welcoming and inclusive community, Memon said.”
ow often do the muzzies invite Mr. Spencer or Mr. Ibrahim,Mr. Greenfield or Ms Geller to “challenge’ their muzzie liars? And how dare he decide what Temple Sholom should do, or what the “mission” is?

Yes, somehistory.
Proof positive that Ayaan Hirsi Ali is over the target…

The names printed in this article are on men who contributed much to the development of Western civilization are “Socrates, Dante Alighieri, Thomas Aquinas, Nicholas Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein.”
One great thinker was not mentioned, his name should be, He was Plato.
The Greek philosopher Plato is one of the contributors to Western Civilization. He may shed some light into the subject of those people who are shackled in the chains and darkness of Islamic thought. In Plato’s REPUBLIC he gave an allegory of a cave where “the condition of men living in a sort of cavernous chamber…Here they have been from childhood, chained by leg and also by the neck, so that they cannot move and see only what is in front of them.”
This can fit into what the Imams do in the mosques and how they brainwash the young people in the madrassa’s by always programming Islamic doctrine into their victims and not exposing them to other worldviews. Furthermore, even in Islamic tradition when Muslims have their newborn child the father whispers words of the Quran into the infants ear so that that Quran verses are the first thing the newborn person hears.
This programming process takes place all their lives. These are some of the chains that keep them bound in a mosque [cave]. The chains do not let them reach out for dialectic reasoning and let them examine the evidence both for as well as against, or even question whether Muhammad was a true prophet of God or not, and if the Quran is a hoax or not. As the chains and darkness of the cave blinds and holds the prisoners back from reality, so Islamic propaganda holds back the cognition to reason with the question if Islam is true or not. They are forbidden from even thinking to question Islam. Furthermore, if a Muslim by some miracle wakes up to the truth about Islam, it would be like the man in Plato’s cave allegory who was released from his chains and taken outside to the real world. At first direct light would be painful and disorienting, it would take some time for him to understand what the truth is all about, he even might cling to the shadows and still for a time believe some of the illusions to be real. But he would finally come to know “what he had formerly seen was meaningless illusion.” And that was “what passed for wisdom in his former dwelling place and that the other cave prisoners also needed to see the light [the truth] for he “was sorry for them.” and he would re-enter the cave just to rescue them. Nevertheless, the cave prisoners wouldn’t understand and “if they could lay hand on the man who was trying to set them free.” And if they could “they would kill him.”
Likewise, when someone escapes from the shackles of Islam, those still in the darkness of this religion would not understand and if possible kill him for leaving Islam, and even more so if he were to try to enlighten them about the truth about Islam. For these people in Islam are chained to an empty imitation of truth and godliness.
Walter Sieruk says
In the classical work of ancient Greek literature, by Plato, entitled THE APOLOGY OF SOCRATES it in written that Socrates had said that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Likewise, in may also be said that “An unexamined religion is not worth believing in.” This is said about all religions. Yet to be specific, in this case, the topic is about the religion of Islam.
Furthermore, one man who was as a former a Muslim and had lived in one of the Islamic nations of the Middle East but now he is Christian and an American citizen had explained in a book he wrote that “Driving into depths of the word of reasoned thinking and research in Islamic societies has always been costly. Some Muslim who have done this have even been excluded from their social rights and even sentenced to death.” [1]
