It is particularly amusing when people like Milo Yiannopoulos or Douglass Murray talk about the incompatibility of Islam with the West, and about how Muslim immigration threatens to change the culture and values of the West; and even more amusing when they highlight as one of their most indignant points the attitude of Islam towards homosexuals (both men are gay).
This is a conspicuous point when you consider that acceptance of homosexuality cannot in any way be regarded as consistent with traditional Western values, but that it is something that has been promulgated with a tremendous degree of calculation and ruthlessness by a tiny fraction of the population and by the entertainment industry in drastic opposition to the previously prevailing attitudes of the majority of the people.
In the earliest known poll on the subject, in 1965, 77% of Americans had a negative view of homosexuality, and felt that homosexuals did more harm than good to the American way of life. In the intervening years until today that has changed almost 180 degrees. But even today, many Americans still believe that homosexuality is fundamentally immoral, though they do not believe that their rights should be curtailed. This is due to the fact that the LGBT community made the strategic decision to pursue their agenda through the mechanism of “identity politics” in order to qualify in the public mind as a minority group, rather than merely as people engaged in an activity and lifestyle which the majority of the public feel is immoral.
So, what we see here is a very determined effort over the past few decades to deliberately change the culture and values of the country; an effort to change Western attitudes about homosexuality which resembled the Islamic attitude. Yiannopoulos’ and Murray’s criticism of Islam on this topic would have fallen on deaf ears 30 years ago, because there would have been very little difference between the prevailing Muslim and non-Muslim views of homosexuality. In other words, the LGBT community has succeeded in doing precisely what they regard as what the Muslim community’s presence in the West threatens to do: change the values and culture.
You can think whatever you like regarding homosexuality; that isn’t the point. The point is that it is remarkably hypocritical for anyone from the LGBT community to raise the alarm to preserve Western culture and values when that community has been singularly dedicated to forcing a drastic shift in Western culture and values for their own benefit for the last 40 years.
