What's so special about Muslims?

Personally, I am sick to death of the subjects of Muslims and Islam. I am fed up to my eyeballs with special interest, "protected" minority groups, which have become too numerous to keep up with. After America was attacked by a group of mostly Saudi Muslim fanatics imbued with the dogma of supremacist Islam, Islam was elevated to the status of metaminority in America and beyond. Muslims kill thousands of Americans in the name of Allah and Islam is declared a religion of peace with unassailable integrity and goodness by politicians, academics, and the intelligentsia. Islamic terror attacks occur on a daily basis throughout the world and there have been thousands of them since 9/11. European Muslims are demonstrating in the streets of large cities demanding the implementation of Sharia. American Muslim clerics are teaching the same intolerant, seditious hate against the West and non-Muslims. And we're supposed to believe that Islam is a religion of peace that has been "hijacked" by a few fanatics.

The Islamic grievance/taquiya industry is in full swing and our illustrious president is aiding and abetting the advancement of our enemies. Muslims leave their homelands for the West and then work to turn the West into a replica of the hellholes they fled. They have made so secret of the fact that they intend to conquer the West for Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood, the root of all Islamic terrorist organizations, is treated like a respectable civic club and allowed to operate freely. Rabid Muslim clerics teach hate and jihad in our prisons and solicit converts to Islam. Inmates go in as convicted criminals and emerge as potential suicide bombers and jihadists. That's some encouraging 'rehabilitation'!

I do not understand the obsequious pandering to Muslims on the part of politicians, pundits, and the past and present adminstration. Most of the sob stories about hate crimes against Muslims are canards invented by CAIR to elicit sympathy and special privileges. Compared to other minority groups in the U.S., Muslims are a drop in the bucket but they manage to generate more publicity, more grievance theatre, and more propaganda than all the others combined. Why is that? It's all part of the the master plan and if you think I'm a conspiracy theorist, look at Europe.

Islam is incompatible with democracy, freedom, multiculturalism, diversity, pluralism, and equality. Islam unequivocally condems 'man-made' governments and all Muslims are obligated to wage jihad to spread Islam and implement Sharia. Sure, there are 'nominal' Muslims who are content to live and let live but they have no influence on the majority. If the history of Islam is any indicator of what lies ahead, and of course it is, the future looks very bleak. Muslims cannot be placated; the more concessions they are awarded, the more they will demand. Since they believe that the entire world is theirs and they are superior to non-Muslims, there is no gratitude or reciprocity on their part. Maybe some day I will understand why the West is determined to commit civilizational suicide by allowing an invasion of bellicose, arrogant, demanding Muslims. No other immigrant group in the history of the United States has come here with the attitudes, demands, and expectations of Muslims and no other group has been pandered to like they have. It makes me sick.
