The phrase regarding Islam “They order freedom by constraining it” stuck out to me. I know nothing about Tate or his conversion, but isn’t our whole left-leaning society now about ordering freedom by constraining it? Limits on academic speech. Vaccine passports. Hell, Antifa supports vaccine mandates. So anarchists support forced medical treatment of shots that don’t stop transmission?

There seems to be this underlying societal suspicion of traditional religions and all who practice them (in some cases for good reason), yet our supposedly secular society is its own form of religion with rigidity to spare. Try to step outside its orthodoxy and find out for yourself.

It is and in the Church of Big Government, if you don’t conform, you’re declared a heretic, or the leftist preferred term du jour, racist. I wonder how long before they reinstate stake burning as the only suitable form of punishment.
