I feel like the Left have failed to address Islam

RE: I feel like the Left have failed to address Islam

Any criticism of Islam is deemed ''Islamophobic'' and ''racist'': not only does this stifle free-speech but it has created a culture of fear, nobody can criticize Islam without being labelled a bigot.

There are a few ruling ideologies of our time that, if you criticise, you get called all sorts of things. Islam is just one of those. Other equally insane ideologies include: diversity/mass immigration; free trade is always a win-win; China will rise peacefully; race and gender differences do not exist; transferring power from local/national to the regional/global level is good; all cultures/lifestyles must tolerate all other cultures/lifestyles; hyperventilating about theoretical climate change while ignoring clear and present environmental dangers such as fracking, etc.

These demented ideas are accepted by both left and right. Muslim immigration is a certifiably insane decision. Nobody with half a brain would promote it. It is perhaps the dumbest idea in the history of the Western world.

The root cause of these ideologies is the rise of individualism in the West, the lack of social cohesion, and loss of ability to function as a distinct group in a competitive world where other groups are eager to take our place either through immigration or predatory trade or other hostile acts.

The Western world is circling the drain, and it's not clear if we will recover before it's too late.

Just thought I'd cheer you up.

It is seemingly a natural cycle for civilisations to rise and fall, so if it's a lost cause, don't beat yourself up about it. It's only natural. Not that I'm suggesting we give up, not at all.

PS - Anne Marie Waters is an atheist from the left (I think) but is vocal against Islam. I think she's now with UKIP.
