As Islamic Groups Vow Massacres, Paris Olympics Target Christianity
By Robert Spencer, PJ Media, Jul 28, 2024:Every Western leftist’s favorite jihad group, Hamas, released a video a few days before the Olympics opened, vowing that there would soon be “rivers of blood flowing through the streets of Paris.” French police recently arrested two would-be Islamic State (ISIS) jihad suicide bombers who were planning to target the Olympics. The Islamic State also called upon Muslims to carry out drone strikes on the Eiffel Tower during the Olympics. After all that, the Olympics Opening Ceremony featured full-scale, open mockery not of Islam (of course!), but of the religion leftists love to hate: Christianity.Fox News reported Friday that “numerous drag queens” were “a recurring theme throughout the ceremonies.” A man whom Fox describes as an “ex-transgender influencer,” Oli London, expressed succinctly how the ceremony targeted Christianity: “Olympics openly mocks Jesus’ Last Supper as drag queens dressed as women play the role of disciples while a plus size woman appears in the middle symbolising Jesus wearing a giant crown.”The reaction was swift. Elon Musk put it mildly: “This was extremely disrespectful to Christians.” Harrison Butker, the NFL player who got in hot water with the left recently by defending traditional and near-universal gender roles, quoted scripture: “‘Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.
For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.’ Galatians 6:7-8.” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton summed it up: “The transnational Left have contempt for Western civilization.”That’s certainly true. Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Barron was among those who raised another salient point about what Barron called this “gross mockery of the Last Supper.” He asked: “A question I would pose — we all know the answer to it — Would they ever have dared mock Islam in a similar way? Would they ever have dreamed of mocking, in this gross, you know, public way, a scene from the Qur’an? As I say, we all know the answer to that.”Yes, we do. The French would never have dared to mock Islam at the Paris Olympics, and the reason for that is abundantly clear to everyone, although few would dare to enunciate it: those who dare to mock Islam risk being killed, while those who follow cultural trends and mock Christianity do not.Even if, however, Islam carried no death penalty for blasphemy, or there were no Muslims willing to enact that penalty, the leftists who put together the mockery of Christianity at the Paris Olympics would recoil in horror at the prospect of subjecting Islam to the same treatment. To do so would be “Islamophobic,” and as far as the contemporary left is concerned, “Islamophobia” is one of the most serious sins anyone can commit.
