This president's proclamations should not deflect us from grasping the reality that the world is divided into two types of culture: one where violence is condemned and the other where violence is glorified. One culture is built on the foundation of liberty and the pursuit of happiness; the other worships violence and death. One where success and respect are measured in capital and the other whose virtues are measured in power and violence.
The president and his leftist supporters maintain that all cultures are equal and as such are equally deserving of respect and celebration. That notion may sound noble, but in fact not all cultures are "born equal." This statement overlooks the fact that the cradle of freedom and democracy was the Western world, not the land of Islam. Western civilization, governed by reason and guided by Judeo-Christian values, discovered science and technology and has subsequently produced a prosperous and relatively harmonious culture that the rest of the world envies and admires. The land of Islam, governed by faith, has contributed almost nothing to the advances of science and culture since its inception. We do not know whether Obama deliberately ignores these important facts in an attempt to appease Islam or whether he feels some inherent sympathy for Islam, or both. In his book The Audacity of Hope he writes: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." And so he does.
