There Is No Exception in Islam

Razib Khan writes:

Several years ago there was a famous exchange between Ben Affleck and Bill Maher & Sam Harris on the nature of Islam. In response I published a post titled “ISIS’ Willing Executioners”. The overall point was that Affleck’s comments were not informed by the nature of Islam or Muslims, but broader political currents. As for his interlocutors, Bill Maher and Sam Harris, I think they were making a better faith effort to engage with the facts, though they too came up short. The primary reason that I give them more credit than Affleck is that I think to some extent their anti-Islamic talking points were counter-narrative toward their preferred ideology, which was on the Left-liberal end of the spectrum. Though a general contempt or disdain for religion is not necessarily a problem among American Left-liberals, for various reasons Muslims have become a “protected class” subject to prejudice from the ideological opponents of Maher and Harris’ normal fellow travelers…

Sam Harris would probably respond that these people don’t take Islam seriously on its own merits, and that Islam is fundamentally and constitutively at odds with tolerance of gay people and a liberal attitude toward the rights of women. Though I disagree in the firmness and definitiveness of Harris’ conclusions, I do agree that people like Ben Affleck, and frankly most Left-liberals who might fall back on the term Islamophobia, don’t actually take Islam, or religion generally, seriously. This explains the rapid and strident recourse toward a racial analogy for Islamic identity, as that is a framework that modern Left-liberals and progressives have internalized and mastered. The problem with this is that Islam is not a racial or ethnic identity, it is a set of beliefs and practices. Being a Muslim is not about being who you are in a passive sense, but it is a proactive expression of a set of ideas about the world and your behavior within the world. This category error renders much of Left-liberal and progressive analysis of Islam superficial, and likely wrong.

German Finance Minister: Without Muslim Immigration, Germans Could Degenerate Via Inbreeding

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Trolling?

Did the “cuckservative” meme not make its way across the pond? There must be some awesome German word that says the same thing as cuckservative.

The guy’s trolling us, right? I mean, the timing, man, the timing.

* TED talks serve the same function as Davos. Plus they have their own NPR radio show. And podcasts

* Can’t anybody here look on the bright side?

A major Euro leader is thinking HBD-like.

* I see that Charles Murray was among the Bilderberg attendees.

* If Germany, a country of 80 (?) million people is worried about the destructive effects of “in-breeding,” what about Israel with its roughly 6 million Jews, who have been ostensibly in-breeding for thousands of years?

* This seems like people are inventing completely non-existent problems for mass Muslim immigration will solve as a contorted rationalization.

Does Japan with their harsh anti-immigration homogeneous single ethnicity nation state have problems with inbreeding? Is there any evidence or measure of the damage caused?

So, there was some problem with Jewish inbreeding in Jewish ghettos in Europe. That has vanished in recent history. Other than that most of France, for example, has had a fairly stable ethnic mix with very minimal mass migration until recently. Was inbreeding a problem there?

* Group of 150 very very wealthy white people meeting secretly to discuss imposing their vision upon half this planet: acceptable, no real MSM inquiries, military-grade security, no infiltration by SPLC-spies, no Soros-funded protesters.

Group of 150 middle-class whites meeting secretly to discuss legally attempting to help uplift lower-class whites out of poverty: unacceptable, MSM slander, no state security provided, SPLC-infiltrators (amongst other groups I’d imagine), attempted career and social damage, possibly Soros-funded protesters.

* The idea that importing immigrants will help increase fertility rates is not going to be borne out empirically. It hasn’t worked in the USA, for example, which currently has a TFR of 1.9 despite massive Hispanic immigration.

When you think about it, mass migrations aren’t very conducive to increasing populations, as the latter requires stability and mass migration is both a symptom and a cause of instability. There are not going to be many babies born in Germany’s refugee centers, because there are few women and few intact family units there. There aren’t going to be many babies born in Syria because many of the young men have ran off and the country is devastated by war. And notwithstanding the entirely appropriate moniker “rapefugees,” German girls are not going to have children with Syrian migrants. They don’t want to date them or marry them, they don’t want to bear their children, and good luck getting a women to carry a child to term if, God forbid, she is raped in a country with emergency contraception and legalized abortion.

Urbanized people have never been very good at reproducing themselves, and drawing in human matter from the four corners of the earth only forestalls the problem. Merkel’s Boner is accelerating the demographic winter.

As an aside, how many babies would you guess are not being born right now in Latin America, with Venezuela in a free fall, Brazil cracking up, Zika virus rampant, Antipope Francis blazing through and dog-whistling that “birth control may be acceptable in some cases,” and many of the young people of marriageable age having already split the scene for the USA, where they will conform to the latter’s sub-replacement birthrate within a generation?

* Germans with their mass injection of slav genes in 1945 plus plenty of contemporary exogamy with Scandinavians, French. British, Italians, Poles, and American servicemen are really not in danger of being inbred.

* You know stuff is getting out of hands when high ranking German officials start waxing poetic about the benefits of eugenics.

* Deutschland will be saved by spicing up ze gene pool mit der semitical jizzenschlingers. Ja, mein sister is looking forward to zis, how do you say, boner-blitzkrieg.

* Ha. It’s the rapefugee darlings themselves who are already inbred and have been doing so for a thousand years or more. It’s they who would benefit from breaking the in-breeding cycle, though I doubt there is any benefit for the posterity of the unfortunate German involved.

* It’s obvious that the leading lights in the West, in advocating importing and assimilating millions of backwards Muslims have decided that the only way to bring them out of the Dark Ages is by interbreeding them with we Europeans. Of course they can’t express it that way, so they simply keep the sentence structure the same but reverse all the terms, telling us that it is we who stand to benefit.

The problem is that there are not enough Europeans to raise the IQ of the teeming billions of African and Islamic morons. Our good traits will be obliterated long before their collective IQs move five points.

* I believe Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame is planning on giving a Ted talk of how to go from an estimated net worth of $4 billion to zero in a few short months.

* Inbreeding was such a problem in Germany when it was populated entirely by white Germans that by 100 yrs ago, that the nation had basically turned itself into a desert from the incompetence of the farmers there. The people who could afford it, were riding around on camels (Camels! When the car was being produced here in the US). Most were homeless bedouins, roaming around cutting each other’s heads off for a cup of water. They even had a culture where it was acceptable to marry young girls under 12! Multiple wives at that! Wolfgang Schäuble is absolutely right- the Muslims will definitely help to bring these inbred dirt farmers into the 21st century, with their peaceful lifestyle, their technological achievements, their acceptance of alternative religions, their ability to assimilate, their modern understanding of the role of women in society… the list goes on and on.

* Inbreeding vs. outbreeding in the hbd sense means “marrying your first cousin vs. marrying someone from the next village” (roughly Steve’s words), and not marrying dumb third worlders, much less accepting millions of inbred third worlders into your own country. The latter is part of the mainstream, but is totally incorrect, and so not part of hbd or any other field of scientific inquiry.

* There is a slight problem with the plan. The Syrians would be happy to take German women. But they won’t let Germans touch their daughters or sisters. That is against Islam (not against Islam for the Muslim man to take a Christian wife). That is going to produce some frustrated German men (but not Syrian women, as the Syrians will take multiple wives).

* The ostensibly “serious” media – NPR, The Times, The Washington Post, and the news and opinion mags – have really revealed themselves to be co-opted. One would think that an international confab of the richest and most power people in the world (and/or their hirelings) like Bilderberg or Davos, would be considered rather important and news-worthy. But the media pays them virtually no mind. Nothing to see here – why do you ask? You must be some kind of nut.

* The structure of commenting and censoring here on Unz is not conducive to active give and take between commenters. We’re all spokes of the author’s wheel.

* The Guardian pays some attention to Bilderberg, because it’s a center-right thing.

* Whether it is the myth that the migrants are coming to save social security, or now to save us from inbreeding, it appears there will always be another excuse for why we must let them in. It is like the fix is in. Once you disprove one of their rationales, they just simply pivot and throw out another after another. Honestly I don’t think they will ever admit they are wrong. There are going to have to be thrown out of power for things to change.

* I am always amazed that quite often, people who consider themselves very liberal, the open-minded (such a stupid expression), almost keep blinders on when it comes to most people from MENA. It is kinda’ a “la-la-la-la-laa” with fingers in their ears when cousin marriage, multiple wives (marriages that are not recorded in Europe – to get “single mother status”); clitorectomies of prepubescent girls, various types of deadly Slut Shaming, forced marriage come to play. European men and women in political power are just left speechless since all that grotesque behavior would not be allowed in their own fracking family.

* I’m waiting for ethnic Germans and Swedes to be beaten up, pelted with eggs, mugged, thrown down on pavement, hit with a bag of rocks (what the frack WAS in that bag that drew profuse bleeding from that yellow, polo shirt-clad young man in San Jose’?) knifed for being blonde, dragged out of their homes at knife point to….finally….say…Houston, we have a problem.

Is Mein Kampf Too Dangerous For The General Public?

Because the ideas in it are so persuasive? That’s what you have to argue if you claim the book is too dangerous for ordinary people to read.

Washington Post:

Few would have imagined that Hitler’s autobiography “Mein Kampf” would become a bestseller in the 21st century again. But that’s exactly what happened earlier this year with the expiration of a German state copyright that had been used to prohibit reprinting of the book.

On Saturday, “Mein Kampf” could become even more widely accessible in Europe. The right-wing Italian newspaper Il Giornale has announced that it will distribute the book freely to readers of its Saturday edition — an announcement that drew heavy criticism from Jewish groups in the country.

The Italian news agency ANSA quoted the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, Renzo Gattegna, as saying: “The free distribution … is a squalid fact that is light years away from all logic of studying the Shoah and the different factors that led the whole of humanity to sink into an abyss of unending hatred, death and violence.”

“It must be stated clearly: the Giornale’s operation is indecent,” said Gattegna.

Similar plans of a right-wing publishing company in Germany had already caused outrage earlier this week. “Mein Kampf” has been available in German bookstores since January — but only in an annotated version that is supposed to point out inconsistencies and lies in Hitler’s arguments. There are more than 3,000 additional comments in that version.

According to German law, publishing the book without annotations would be considered seditious. But that is what right-wing publishing company Schelm is now planning to do. Prosecutors are investigating the plans and could file charges even before the book gets published.

“This book is too dangerous for the general public,” library historian Florian Sepp told The Washington Post last year, reflecting a sentiment among several German experts on that research field.

The publisher argues that an unannotated version of Hitler’s autobiography would serve as historical documentation — but researchers object, saying that the annotated edition is fully sufficient.

Juan Hernandez: ‘I’m voting for Donald Trump, so I went to see him speak. Protesters broke my nose.’

About a block from the garage entrance, we turned down the street and found a line of protesters standing in our way. To get back to our car, we’d have to go through them. My friend and I were wearing “Make America Great Again” Trump hats. We were targets, and I was terrified. I could feel it coming — they would look at me and start walking up to me.

Before we could make it into the garage, four or five men surrounded me, and another four surrounded my friend. They just started swinging. We swung back as best as we could. My main thing was I didn’t want to fall; I didn’t want to be knocked down. I’m not a big guy, but I can defend myself as best I can if it’s one on one — but not when they have so much anger against us.

One of the blows caught my nose, and blood just started pouring out. That kind of stunned them, and they backed off a quick second. My adrenaline kicked in; I felt punches on my head, and I felt the punch that hit my nose, but I was in survival mode by then, and I didn’t realize until later how much it hurt. I called my friend, “Okay, let’s go!”

We ran into the parking garage, and we thought we were safe, but there were another few dozen protesters there, too. We got in our car and headed toward the exit. Some protesters jumped on the cars in front of us, but we eventually made it out. My friend drove me to the emergency room because my nose was pouring blood. I had a broken nose, and because I was covered with scratches, I had to get a tetanus shot, too. It took a lot out of me, much more than I realized at first; my headaches and soreness didn’t start to go away until a week later.

I still can’t believe how poorly the police handled the protests. I live by Levi’s Stadium, where the Super Bowl was. They had every single cop out there. Yet knowing the violence that’s been breaking out near Trump rallies, San Jose wasn’t prepared for it last week? So the Los Angeles chapter of Log Cabin Republicans held a news conference back in San Jose on Wednesday, to get some answers from the city’s mayor, Sam Liccardo, and its police department about why they let me and other people get attacked and only made a few arrests.

The whole thing made me angry. Here in Northern California, I feel like I’m a unicorn: I’m a gay Hispanic who’s a Republican. It was much harder to come out as a Trump supporter than it was to come out as gay — the minute you say you’re for Trump, everyone comes at you — but this has pushed me out of the closet about it completely.

I should be able to vote for whom I want, and I shouldn’t have to deal with violence to go hear my candidate speak. If people really want to protest at rallies, they should do it peacefully. I have a young niece and nephew, and I don’t want them to think this is how politics work in the United States. We can’t let our freedom of speech and our freedom of assembly be tarnished by politicians like those in San Jose who do not have our safety at heart.
