So, it’s OK for feminists to claim that all men are morally responsible for the rapes committed by a tiny number of men. It is also OK to claim that all white people have white privilege and all white people owe all black people reparations for slavery. But to suggest all Muslims should take a moral stand against terrorism is… according to those same people… racist.
SRSLY, how does that work?
In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, the primary concern of left-wing media was not that violent Mohammedans would commit more acts of violence against innocent people, but that “anti-Islamic” sentiment might increase and, even more terrible, right-wing political parties in Europe might benefit!
The key danger the Times is worried about, it would seem, is that Europe might reverse course on its march to demographic and cultural oblivion.
What just happened was most tragic. It might be called France’s 9/11. However, France, with her liberalism, brought it on itself. When they allowed the creation of ‘no enter zones’ which total over seven hundred, sharia law replaced French law. Liberals in their desire to show their magnanimity, such as the former Archbishop of Canturbury, a liberal judge in the U.S. make statements like, there are parts of sharia law that can be practiced in this country. That opens the door to radical muslims.
I love how they conflate “right wing” with dictatorial statism. That is a modern construct. Dictatorial socialism and fascism and communism are all peas in a liberal pod.
The French “right wing” would march into those 751 no-go zones and sort things out. To socialists, it reminds them of militant socialism instead of Vichy France style cooperative survival by coughing up the Jews for the Nazis.
“Anti-Islamic sentiment” is a liberal propaganda construct. Islam doesn’t kill people, radicals use Islam to kill people. Shari’a is incompatible with western law. IF Islam demands Shari’a and a theocracy of bearded bullies who determine which infidel shall be permitted to live and pay a tribute, then Islam is clearly the cause.
Islam got confronted by al-Sisi in Egypt and it has yet to answer. Here is what al-Sisi has accomplished so far in his response to Obama’s Arab Spring:
◾Disbanded the Muslim Brotherhood as a political terror entity.
◾Arrested those who burned churches and attacked Coptic Christians.
◾Jailed or banished the extremist forces.
◾Supported Israel’s right to exist and defend it’s borders.
◾Defeated Hamas in the border region.
◾Destroyed the border terror tunnels used by Hamas
◾Pressured Hamas and the PA to negotiate the ceasefire, and forced the PA and Hamas to assemble ONE negotiating group for their interests.
◾Fought extremism in the Sinai region, and fought against ISIS infiltration.
◾Fought the Libyan new al-Qaeda network “Libyan Dawn”.
◾Charged and prosecuted the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, who fled to Qatar.
We should reestablish our connections with the Muslim world which keeps tabs on its own radicals and deals with them in their own national interests. The west needs to have its own methods for ferreting out those who would terrorize in the name of Islam.
I suffer from anti-Islamic sentiments. I know that the vast silent majority of Islamists are too afraid to confront their crazies. So, I hold most of them as suspects in cooperating with the overthrow of our moral and ethical codes and system of government. When I see a Muslim woman all draped and covered, I figure that for her sake I had better not acknowledge her. That is not my phobia at work, it is the message that many participants in Islam are more than willing to project.
I have a Muslim acquaintance who is married to a Jewish woman. He has many tales to tell of his encounters with disapproving Muslims. I have Syrian refugee friends who practice Islam in a loving and cooperative way. They claim not be “religious” which is how they define the difference between their view of Islam and going fanatical in the name of Islam.
I am certain that we could all benefit from getting our language laundered in our attempt to communicate intelligently about radical Islam. But words are not causing the actions of the crazies.
Meanwhile our leftist press and the elite in eggheadlandia are all in for blaming us for what the fanatics do.
Zbigniew Brzezinski doesn’t want us to be “unnecessarily nasty” to Islam. This guy is only slightly loopier than Cher. There is no reason to get “unnecessarily nasty” to Islam. There is a huge reason to get necessarily nasty to fanatic people who kill people in the name of Islam. We could start by terrorizing the fatwah’s out of the enablers.
Carol Brown wrote a piece in The American Thinker that is worthy of concentrated analysis.
It is harsh in its remedies and its claims need verification. BUT if this were KKK or Nazi groups we would be on it like ugly on an ape. Here are a few of Brown’s observations:
The simple fact is that until radical Islam disappears, it is crucial to profile people for signs of jihadism, efforts to subvert our Constitution by Shari’a and sending their youth off to join ISIS or al-Qaeda. We can not permit a cancer committed to the violent overthrow of the Constitution to exist and grow in our midst.
The liberals don’t even want to allow the discussion. Ask Ali Hirsi about politically incorrect speech in eggheadlandia. At least Rupert Murdock has his eyes open. He tweeted: “Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.” and “Big jihadist danger looming everywhere from Philippines to Africa to Europe to US. Political correctness makes for denial and hypocrisy.”
Milo Yiannopolis over at Breitbart made a number of good points: “moderate” Muslims are the minority in Islam, not the majority; recent events are bringing Islam to a tipping point, past which it will not be tolerated even in the most high-mindedly progressive of European countries; moderate Muslims refuse to admit that Wahabism is not a perversion, but a natural development from something deep in Islam’s core.
There may come a time where Muslims living in Western countries will face a choice: abandon and denounce sharia or leave. Those who do so and find a way to adapt Islam to Western principles will be permitted to remain, and may even flourish. Those who refuse will be given a grace period to make arrangements to leave for the Islamic paradise of their choosing; past that grace period, they are getting a visit from the authorities and a rather forceful escorting to the nearest airport.
The French are cynical & – they are French. No one is listening to those that pander to arabs/muslims at this point. It’s all about being bitter & lashing out. After all, they need distraction from their own culpability.
The media are VERY concerned about the so-called “Islamophobia” that may arise from these 2 attacks, yet they are DEAFENINGLY silent on the very real rise in anti-Semitism that’s been occurring in France for the past year…
@ Paul: I think there’s two reasons for that. One, Jews kinda got over their violent period after the Second Temple got destroyed. Second, I don’t think anti-semitism actually ever went out of style in academia and the elite classes- it just got stealthier.
Yes. In the liberty movement I’m a part of, anti-Semitism is very present as well. It’s just used in very clever rhetoric like “the banksters” and what not. However, people like me are present so we can prove to the public that the anti-Semites are just a very fringe element in libertarianism.
@ Paul: That kind of rhetoric is problematic, since it can muddy the waters when discussing the relationship between businesses and banks and Congress. It doesn’t help matters if people think that criticism of cronyism in the banking sector is a thinly-veiled front for anti-Semitism.
Paul- the jews are why islam keeps sneaking into Europe. Frances last jewish president said its racist for white gentiles to not breed themselves out of existence, yet all his wives where jewish. If any country treated foreigners like Israel treats 3rd worlders jews everywhere would cry out. They advocate policies the exact opposite of Israel’s. The French need to stop playing at Charlie Hebo and go back to Charles Martel

Notable ‘journalist’ who wrote on the NY rag is Walter Duranty, probably the biggest Stalin’s apologist that hystory has ever seen. Later he also won a pulitzer. The NY rag never retracted his lunacy or apologized for the 6 million Ukranians starved to death by Stalin and the failure of this parasite to report it. Someone had to remind them nowadays when ‘we are all Ukranians’ what happened 70 years ago.
Why is it considered a paper worth reading is beyond me.
Truly awe-inspiring spectacle…I watched all day. Now if only something positive comes of it.
The French Media’s ambivalence towards Marine LePen’a absence was awkward. She may have attended the March in her home-town and power-base of Marseilles. French President Hollande has a narrow-window of opportunity to craft a policy-solution that addresses the parallel issues of middle-class France’s concerns about radicalization, and the perception of rising antisemitism in-general. Obviously, accommodation to Muslim separate-ism and Shariah has failed. The Jewish Ghetto historically didn’t work, and neither does the Muslim ghetto — even if self-created and enforced.
@ Ted B.: LaPen did not attend?! As the leader of the French nationalist movement, I would’ve thought she would be front and center. She ought to be having a field day with the terror attacks, they are good evidence for her views. Perhaps she’s keeping her distance to not appear ghoulish? Like you said, she may have opted to attended the march in Marseilles.
Still, it’s nice to see the French waking up. All of Europe is slowly waking up. Hopefully before it’s too late.
Perhaps Eurabia may not be inevitable after all.
Reading between the lines, the French Socialists Party and the Liberals at the French President’s office simultaneously-disinvited her specifically, and vaguely-told the Press that “…all were welcome”. Apparently the Palace didn’t want her nor the moderate-Right party’s leader anywhere-near the front ranks. Too-much of a distraction? And perhaps several international attendees were reluctant to march with her present.
Even though Attorney-General Holder was in Paris for security-chief meetings and briefings, similarly you’ll notice that no senior US leader marched either — no Cabinet member nor US Senator or Congress-critter to distracted from the French government’s projected-image of Liberal European-Levantine unity; France, it’s traditional allies and colonial trading-partners, it’s friends in the Middle East — plus it’s NATO and EU partners. The US, Canada and Morocco were represented only by their resident Ambassadors.
The left is comprised of wimps and boot lickers, that is why they are afraid of offending the Muslims. They are not afraid of Christians, of Conservatives, Libertarians, and Republicans because they know that those people will not bomb them or shoot them. Leftists lack a strong sense of self, so they go with what the collective is doing whose orders come from high command such as Obama (who is also a boot licker for the Islamists) and Sharpton. I do feel sorry for leftists because they have such a hole in their souls that they have to fill by being part of a boot-licking, unthinking, collective.
Obama must have fretted over his decision to not attend the gathering of world leaders in Paris to honor the victims of Islamic/anti-western values let alone stand in solidarity with those who believe in foundational philosophical notions enshrined in the US constitution … because… he really, really, wanted to golf, attend a fundraiser and hang w/ Beyonce, again??? There’s no excuse, but to not even send Biden or ask a Clinton is downright disgraceful, an insult and craven.
