Reader comment on item: A Key Change to "The Pope and the Koran"

The article by Sandro Magister is exactly on point. Specifically "....the feeling today of the Muslim world: The Western countries are no longer capable of preaching a message of morality...". This is true and it is the result of the leftist influence in western education and media. The left has pushed every immoral concept it can find on western culture. The left's obsession with the separation of church and state has become a separation of morals and government. The left's platform of permissiveness has created a culture that punishes victims instead of criminals, that coddles sexual predators, that is ruining the institution of marriage, that is destroying family values, and is undermining our youth. The Left was so entrenched 50 years ago that they were able to destroy Sen. Joe McCarthy for suggesting that there were communist sympathisers in the Democratic administrations of Roosevelt and Truman, and the US Army (Proven to be true by the Venona Project, http://www.nsa.gov/publications/publi00039.cfm).

Now, over 50 years later they have educated and trained every western educated human since the nineteen thirties. Those left educated and indoctrinated people are now running our country, teaching our children, and writing our history books. Even the "conservative" right has fallen victim to the immorality of the left. The only ways the "Moral (but silent) Majority" can reclaim this country is by not patronizing the left establishment and by making their moral views known. Don't buy their goods, don't advertise in their newspapers and magazines, don't vote for them, and don't go to their schools. Every time there is a left wing editorial in your favorite newspaper or magazine, write the editor and complain. It may not be too late, God only knows.
