Let's Just Call It 'The Muslim Question'Read it all...
"In our time the revolutionary response and the “little darling” response to the Social Question have merged into what I call the “activism” culture. Our educated ruling class teaches that there are three kinds of people: the oppressors, the oppressed and the champions of the oppressed. The only ethical choice is to march and peacefully protest on behalf of the oppressed and fight the oppressors.
Life is pretty black and white to these champions of the oppressed. Any group newly immigrating to the Western city is automatically awarded victim status and anyone that questions the “little darling” politics of the activists is an “-ist” -- racist, sexist – or a “-phobe” -- homophobe, Islamophobe.
Up to now, all this activism has been great fun for the ruling class and highly remunerative for its bribed apologists because the post-WWII group of immigrants played their victim parts to perfection. They allowed the liberal ruling class to speak for them, and marched and protested more or less as directed. They never really posed an existential threat to the ordinary assimilated middle class, not enough that ordinary people might break with the ruling class and turn to “extreme nationalists” for leadership.
But now we are face to face with the Muslim Question, the question of the millions of Muslims that have immigrated to the West in the past generation and that have remained peculiarly separate from the Western culture, partly by reason of the cultural strength of Islam and partly from the multiculturalist ruling class that encourages their “little darlings” in self-segregation."

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.
