    Someone replace the US flag with “Islam” to scare them. It’d be just as accurate. Put a “Memri TV” banner on there while you’re at it.

    By the way, this is a common argument among fascist pundits who disingenuously equate western liberal thought with “judeo-christian beliefs”, whatever the hell that means. Our society is good because it’s based on religion and our religion is flawless because our society is based on it.

            Which is ironic when you think about it. Pre-christian judaism is really about pastoralist migrant tribes oppressed by materialistic empires, there’s nothing in it that could resonate with liberal thought. And Jesus, well, we all know what he thought of merchants and rich people…
