Asked why the left goes after Christianity while giving Islam a pass, Phil Zuckerman, atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif. said,
“Fear.”
“I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear,” Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. “I’ve got three kids.
“As an atheist – where on planet Earth is the death penalty meted out to atheists?” Zuckerman said. “It’s only in, I think, 24 Muslim countries.
“Where have human rights flourished the most? In Christian nations,” he said.
“I see Christianity as a great friend of secular culture,” Zuckerman said. “I see Islam as much more of a threat, much more debilitating.
“I would never write the same kind of stuff that I do about certain religions – Judaism, Christianity, LDS, whatever – as I would about Islam – just straight up fear,” Zuckerman said.
PUSSIES!!!!
Guys like him were summed up long ago. He’s stuck on the first definition in reference to jihadist, and not considering the whole meaning in reference to the Being he should be most concerned about.
Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
The word translated “fear” can mean several things. It can refer to the terror one feels in a frightening situation (Deuteronomy 2:25). It can mean “respect” in the way a servant fears his master and serves him faithfully (Joshua 24:14). Fear can also denote the reverence or awe a person feels in the presence of greatness (Isaiah 6:5). The fear of the Lord is a combination of all of these.
Such an admission of truth by this guy is more shocking than what he said. Really… when was the last time ANY Lefty told the truth about anything?
And the Pope is Catholic. Duh!
… and if obama had a son, he’d be as big a wimp as this POS.
Juan Williams was fired from NPR, for mentioning his fears of Muslims when flying on airplanes with them.
Not just fear itself, but even the admission of fear has no place in their PC world.
What these Lefty Pussies don’t understand is that this early-warning fear is a good thing.
And did he go on to say he still bashes Christians in class?
Effin’ dhimmi! Congrats on letting the muzzies get away with exactly what they want.
He won’t know what FEAR is until he is bowing before The Throne Of The Nazarene before being shown the door.
A glimmer of honesty from a moral and physical coward.
Will you let them castrate and rape your son to spare your life? Will you allow them to rape and murder your daughter to spare your life? You and your wife can always have more chillren … right?
Looks like Phil is going to be one of those who stands at the edge of a river and repeats “There is no God” ad infinitum. Fool, that won’t change a thing. Better get ready, cause there ain’t no rock gonna hide you when He comes back.
Ann Barnhardt has bigger ovaries than this guy has balls.
