* Ironically, Pope Francis is the biggest cheerleader for massive, uncontrolled Muslim immigration into Europe.
* Muslim extremists love to bomb and attack the houses of worship of those they don’t like. It’s a worldwide pattern. I’m only surprised it hasn’t become a major sized event.
* I have read reports from the BBC, Le Monde, and another French newspaper. None talked about terrorists.
By the way, I have been wondering for some time how long it would be before some Muslims would attack Catholic Churches in France. Centres of a false religion and essentially defenceless.
* Published on Sep 12, 2015: Dr David Starkey is discussing the difference between Britishness and Englishness, when Feminist Laurie Penny interrupts him and tries to mock him.
The result? Dr David Starkey goes nuclear on her, debunking the lies and myth of social justice warriors and feminism’s egalitarian credentials.
You will notice she complains about the personal attack, after she personally attacked Starkey first!
* It’s not terrorism until the fat lady sings “Allah Akbar” and declares allegiance to ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh on Facebook … even if the perpetrators were first or second generation Islamic immigrants. It is always a relief to know it’s not terrorism but rather just a couple of run-of-the-mill murders by who knows and and we don’t know why. France and Germany have been getting a lot of those lately. Must be something in the water supply … or, perhaps global warming.
But maybe terrorism will go away if Frau Merkel and Herr Hollande direct proselytizing Islam to all school-age children in France and Germany. (I understand the Germans already have this in mind.) Perhaps the immigrants will then feel more at home and stop taking out their righteous anger on the natives, who do admittedly have an historical predilection toward racism, imperialism, white privilege, and (this is the worst) failure to submit to the will of Allah. Come on! These natives have been resisting the will of Allah (the most Compassionate, the most Merciful) for 1,300 years. What will it take?
* Bad choice of targets. The catholic and protestant churches of Europe are staunch supporters of the muslim influx. And their organizations and volunteers form the backbone of refugee resettlement.
ISIS still thinks Christianity is a crusader religion. Contemporary Christianity is quite the opposite. It fits the description of cuckoldry perfectly.
* I wonder if this is what the Pope envisioned when he said we should build bridges and not walls.
* “Look at it this way: other than the priest-beheading, it’s been all quiet on the Western front.”
Seriously. Almost a full 24 hours had passed since the last terror attack. I was beginning to worry the Mohammedans had given up.
* What is more French than violent anticlericalism? I’d say these guys have integrated well.
* It’s striking how deep the mental neutralizers of PC go, right down the news announcement: the hostage is “fighting for their life”.
If we’re too sensitive to say the hostage is “fighting for HIS life” or the hostage is “fighting for HER life”, I don’t think that will match up well to guys with bombs and axes.
With an attitude like that, we’re already slaves. We’re just waiting for the chain.
* Yes, fine men such as Dr. Nidal Hasan. BTW, Hasan telegraphed his hatred for America loudly and clearly many times but the more red flags he sent up, the more our PC military looked the other way.
For example, he signed his official work emails (in which he accused American soldiers of war crimes) “All praises and thanks go to Allah”.
* Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, et al, have all made a deal with the devil. They are all on the government tit. They do it for the money, not love, not religion.
I have no idea what the governments of Europe give the church groups but it is probably a similar amount, if not more.
* I wonder if the intentional lackluster and watered down response of the media to these attacks is actually emboldening “ISIS” to carry out more gruesome assaults as a way of saying “Hey, look at us”. Politicians have to do more than just call these incidents “cowardly”.
* It was the devout Christians who were the first to warn the West. Hilaire Belloc, Pat Buchanan, Jean Raspail, Enoch Powell.
* I tried your link at Christianity Today, only to be kept out by a paywall (who says walls don’t work?).
* Points for originality. Beheading a priest in church during a service is a spectacular one. Like something out of ‘The Omen’.
I do wonder when the professional apologiat will realise that their reflexive cries of ‘there is no evidence that this is terror/IS-related’ – even when it happens to be true – will become counterproductive – people would feel considerably more reassured if these attackers were agents sent into France/Germany/etc from ISIS HQ rather than any old Muslim from down the street. When that realisation fully sets in – that it is any and potentially every European Muslim, however well established on the continent – then things really will get interesting and forbidden political parties will start winning elections by landslides. I don’t think we have long to wait now.
* I wonder if there will be a hashtag campaign like ‘I am a Catholic’ or ‘I am a Christian’.
* The tactics for Muslims come mostly from the Koran and Hadiths. They are flexible as to the methods, but don’t much differentiate between infidel types. As a means to gain territory for its followers, it has its strengths and weaknesses. I am not aware of a similar religion of conquest that has had more success.
Christians have colonized lands but not so much because of Christianity, more because that’s what humans do who have military, technological and/or demographic advantages.
* What is unusual perhaps lies elsewhere. It has to do with the truly unheard-of stupor of the ethnic French population, the population that is the historic guardian of the identity of our nation. The fact that there was no popular reaction of any magnitude, no uprising, peaceful or not, demanding immediate accountability of this government of traitors, or invading any one of a number of ghettos known to be rotted to the core by salafism and drug mafias: monstrous breeding grounds that give birth to these displaced jihadis who attack us; the fact that there were no reprisals against those who promoted this situation: not from those in high positions, not from those below, is the calamitous symptom of a lack of life force, a torpid surrender to invasion, a consent – it must be said – to the disappearance of the French nation. In Nice, children were pulverized. Jihadism kills; so does politeness. And if the former is ignoble, the latter, submissive to the former, is shameful. As Renaud Camus recently noted, the terrible irony is that our era, incapable of producing a work of art, a thought, an authentic spirituality, something outstanding that gives value to peoples’ lives, has been able to preserve, from the rigorous demands of civilization, only that which, precisely, forbids us from protecting it. The final form taken by the European mind is, in a senseless turnabout, the very one that makes it impossible for it to defend itself against the forces seeking its annihilation.
What we have left from the Garden of Akademos, from the Cultura Animi of the Tusculanae Disputations, from De Trinitate, is the precious privilege of having ourselves massacred by the first salafist to come along, to whom we will have first granted permission to build his mosque, to have twelve children, to put his wife under a candle snuffer, to send all his money to a foreign country and to live on the back of our social welfare system. Jihadism is barbaric, we know that. A people that only salvages from its store of profound truth weapons to destroy itself, that utilizes the means of civilization against the ends of civilization, is no less so. Our xenophilia and our idolatry of the Other are but modulations of self-hatred and mirrors of the hatred the Islamists feel towards us.
If we cannot be surprised that after the massacre in Nice, our rulers continue to repeat mechanically the same self-justifying mantra, we can be surprised that the people did not have the resilience to trigger the slightest revolt, or even more modestly, to simply question the institutions that had made such a carnage possible.
At bottom, it’s the deconstructionist spirit of 1968 that won the day and the Enlightenment that continues to propagate to the final glimmer its contradictory madness: when entire peoples invade us and kill us, and we only see migrants and psychiatric cases (the media’s eternal label of “unbalanced” attests to it). As for our persecutors, everything is understood: they know they belong to religious, moral and ethnic communities that transcend their particularity, whereas we think that a community, whatever it may be, results from the sum of particularities. It is the very concept of “a people” as the determining condition for the emergence of persons that has become unintelligible to the majority.
