Dennis Prager writes<\/a>: Islam has never been a religion of peace. It began as a warlike religion, and throughout its history, whenever possible, Muslims made war on non-Muslims, from the polytheists of North Africa to the Hindus of India. A reported 60 to 80 million Indians were killed by Muslim invaders during the hundreds of years of Muslim rule there.
\nSo, while the left would emphasize a murderer\u2019s Christian faith, it denies that Islam plays any role in the vast amount murder, torture, enslavement, female genital mutilation, unparalleled subjugation of women and rape committed by people of the Islamic faith. Virtually every American and European student learns of the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition and the Christian West\u2019s role in slavery, but nothing of Muslims\u2019 centuries of mass slaughter and vast enslavement of Europeans and Africans.
\nWhy? Because the truth about Muslims\u2019 historical record of violence would shine a light on the Christian West\u2019s far-superior moral record. So the left employs a dual-sided tactic: portraying Islam as benign and Christianity as malicious.
\nI am writing this column in Rome, where I\u2019m staying at a hotel located one block from the American embassy. The embassy is draped in an enormous gay liberation flag.
\nThree questions come to mind:
\nWhy does the embassy have such a flag? Does it have any other giant flag besides the American flag on hand?
\nAre all embassies currently draped in this flag? For example, are the American embassies in Muslim countries draped in it?
\nMy third and most relevant question is: Had a Muslim targeted and murdered scores of Christians, would any American embassy anywhere in the world be draped in a flag depicting the Christian cross? In fact, in light of the one and only ongoing genocide in the world, that of Christians in the Middle East by certain Muslim groups, why aren\u2019t American embassies draped with a flag bearing a cross?
\nWe all know the answer.
\nChristians must be portrayed as villains, not victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
