RICHARD DAWKINS ON THE HYPOCRISY OF THE WEST




Leftist, evolutionist, and Christian-baiter, Richard Dawkins, had been dis-invited to speak on KPFA Radio in Berkeley, California following complaints about his past negative comments regarding Islam. KPFA explained:

·       “[W]e didn’t know he had offended and hurt – in his tweets and other comments on Islam, so many people.”

Dawkins understandably responded that he had been equally critical of Christianity, but no one had ever objected. He therefore protested:

·       “Why do you give Islam a free pass? Why is it fine to criticize Christianity but not Islam?”

According to Dawkins, the media’s defense of Islam is worse than hypocritical because Christianity is “benign” compared to Islam and a “bulwark against something worse”:

·       “There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings,” Dawkins said. “I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death.” https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/richard-dawkins-benign-christianity-is-about-to-be-replaced-by-something-wo?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com&utm_campaign=dd7763e091-Daily%2520Headlines%2520-%2520U.S.&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_12387f0e3e-dd7763e091-401443397

How then can we understand the hypocrisy of Western media and leadership? For one thing, the more that Western culture has rejected its Christian values, the more it has felt both restricted and judged by them. In this sense, the West is like a teenager rebelling against the restrictions and judgments by which he feels bound.

But how is it that he cannot see that by rejecting his parents, he has partnered with a killer. Does he believe that life will be better under Islam? Is he not aware of the rapes, sex-slavery, killings, and oppression found throughout the Islamic world? Muslims are already crowing that soon Europe will be theirs.

I can understand this. They have consistently observed that bullying will get them everything, and that Europe does not have the character or convictions to stand up against anything, even violence and rape.

However, I cannot explain the capitulation of the West through any rational or pragmatic considerations. Yes, it is insanity, but what has caused their abandonment of rationality? It must be satanic. As the West has rejected Jesus, they have filled the vacuum with moral relativism, multiculturalism, and secular humanism, and this has utterly blinded them, no less than if they had plucked out their eyes.
