Over the weekend, the militant Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, released a picture of what are supposed to be the Nigerian school girls being converted to Islam and praying to the pedophile Allah.
At the same time, Michelle Obama devoted her weekly address to the Nigerian girls' kidnapping, but failed to mention a single time, Islam or the name Boko Haram. What is it with liberals who think that whitewashing evil by not naming it, somehow makes it less evil? Or that naming Islamic terrorists what they are, somehow castigates all of Islam?
You can't paint Islam in a way that makes it look less like the primitive, barbaric cult of savagery and misogyny everybody already knows it to be. Liberals like the Obama's think that by not naming Islam in a negative context(there is never a positive context to Islam) westerners will eventually accept Islam as a legitimate religion, parallel with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc., instead of the gang of illiterate, unevolved miscreants running around in dirty nightshirts we know it to be.

This is the same logic of appeasement that caused Hilary 45 to refuse designating Boko Haram as a terrorist group. I wonder if the Brandeis U. student rand faculty mob who intimidated Ayan Hirsi Ali out of a speech invitation have had the slightest moment of self awareness over this latest Islamist outrage. Probably not.

Photographer Koach, who actually knows what he is talking about says:
"Below is a list of ten things I encountered that I believe attest to the kindness of Iranians.
“
1. About 30 people a day would approach me on the street and ask “Is there anything I can help you with?” or “Welcome to Iran!”
2. About three time a day, complete strangers would ask me where my hotel was and invite me to stay with them. I ended up taking one person up on the offer once. Talk about budget travel!
3. When caught wandering along the street while looking at a map, people would take up to 30 minutes of their own time showing me the way to my destination.
4. Like Japan, it is common courtesy in Iran to give up your seat on the subway when an elderly person gets on. What surprised me is that many Iranians would give up their seat for me because I was a tourist. When I tried to tell them I was fine standing, they would reply: “You’re a tourist, right? Thank you for coming to Iran! Let me express my gratitude! Please, sit down!”
5. While visiting the Naqsh-e Jahan Square World Heritage Site in Esfahan, more than 20 people offered to have tea or lunch together, some with their families!
6. People would frequently come up to me and ask to take a picture together.
7. People would treat me to tea or a meal for no apparent reason. Whenever I tried to pay they decline to take my money.
8. Most stores don’t try to rip off tourists.
9. Foreign tourists are instant celebrities. Whenever I was in a tourist spot, I would be surrounded by Iranians asking me to take pictures with them or exchange contact information.
10. Nearly everyone you make eye contact with on the street smiles at you and says “Hello!” in English.
I’ve visited over 40 countries in my travels, and nowhere have I encountered a people kinder than the Iranians. Never did I feel like they were trying to flatter me; their actions and words always seemed sincere."
