The halfwits at the New York Post think that because a gay man fled Syria to become the grand marshall of a gay pride parade in the U.S. that “love beat ISIS.” This kid of idiocy is why the west can’t beat ISIS.
In his absurd piece grandiosely entitled, “Love Beats ISIS,” columnist Eric Hegedus gives us the story of 28-year-old Subhi Nahas who fled Syria in 2012 “after enduring years of oppression–both by the government and his own family.”
Hegedus describes the life of fear the young gay man led until he finally made it to the U.S. in 2015. He even reported that a childhood acquaintance of the refugee’s had joined ISIS then threatened to track Nahas down and kill him for being gay.
The other particulars of this young gay Syrian’s life are unimportant to the point that the writer of the piece imagines that his activism for his gay brothers here in the U.S. and in the Middle East somehow “beat ISIS.”
Unfortunately, Nahas’ gay “love” did not beat ISIS. In point of fact it has done nothing, note one thing, to ISIS. It hasn’t stopped ISIS, it hasn’t impaired ISIS, it hasn’t done the slightest thing to ISIS.
It is this kind of cloying foolishness that keeps us from doing what needs to be done to actually beat ISIS and that is kill them by the tens of thousands.
Syrian gays coming to the U.S. to lead frivolous parades won’t stop ISIS. Guns, bullets and bombs will.
But here we have the fools in the press acting as if a gay pride parade has somehow “beaten” ISIS.
Damned idiots.
