Xcellent point, of wide application

From a very traditionalist Righty, --one who argues for a civilizational and demographic separation between the West and the House of Islam-- bolding mine:

...Western thinkers’ ceaseless attempt to explain uniquely Islamic beliefs and institutions in non-Islamic terms expresses the essence of liberalism, which is to deny the existence of human differences that really matter.

My thought of late, that liberalism induces a kind of trance, which disables the ability to use common sense and to see what is actually in front of you.
