Iconography of Western suicide

The handsome, blond, smiling, American pol, Brian Moran, chairman of the Democratic caucus in the Virginia House of Delegates (and younger brother of U.S. Rep. James Moran), has his arm around Imam Johari Abdul-Malik of the Dar Al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, giving this total alien (who in fact is an American-born black, but that doesn’t make him any less alien) his 100 percent approval. It’s all so glowing, so nice. Our friendliness, our openness, our tolerance, of which we are so proud, gives these aliens total entré into our society.

They, the Muslims, have no similar sentimentality about us. Their holy book tells them, “Do not be friends with the Christians and Jews.” If they seem to act nice to us, it is only because we are currently in the majority and they need to curry our favor in order, eventually, to gain power over us. But can you imagine a smiling all-American type like Brian Moran ever grasping such a dark truth?
