Irrationalism—particularly in the guise of emotionalism and relativism—has become the greatest defender and chief apologist for Islam in the West.
Or so Jeff Goldblum is learning.
On April 24, 2020, the 67-year-old actor was a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. One of the contestants, Jackie Cox, a “drag queen” of Iranian background, appeared in a star-spangled hijab: “This outfit,” Cox said, “really represents the importance that visibility for people of religious minorities need to have in this country.”
Apparently seeing the irony and/or contradiction in all this, Goldblum inquired: “Is there something in this religion [Islam] that is anti-homosexuality and anti-woman? Does that complicate the issue? I'm just raising it and thinking out loud and maybe”—this last bit came as he looked around and realized that no one was about to agree with him—“being stupid.”
Jeff Goldblum questioned the anti-woman and anti-homosexual nature of many Muslim-majority countries around the world and has now been cancelled by Twitter's left-wing hate mob. Despite the fact many Muslims fled to the USA precisely to leave their religion’s medievalists behind. pic.twitter.com/aLFd2lTRna

The rest—weeping and wailing vis-à-vis the hinting of unpleasant facts—might have been expected, not least considering that the venue where Goldblum’s utterance was made epitomes irrationalism, emotionalism, and relativism.
It began with a teary-eyed Jackie Cox: “When the Muslim ban happened,” he said haltingly and chokingly while sobbing, “it really destroyed a lot off my faith in this country, and really hurt my family. And that’s so wrong to me.”
So instead of using the opportunity afforded by Goldblum to shed light on the abysmal treatment that women and homosexuals such as himself experience under Islam, Cox twisted the matter to bash America and Trump.
“I’m here, and I deserve to be in America just as much as anyone else.”

Incidentally, and for the record, the so-called “Muslim ban” is a reference to travel restrictions placed on nations known to sponsor terrorism and pose a security threat to the U.S. Although not all are Muslim—North Korea for example—most are Muslim-majority nations. This fact—as well as many other facts, for example, that most persecution of Christian minorities occurs in Muslim nations—is less a reflection of “Islamophobia” and more a reflection of why fear of Islam exists in the first place.
