From comments to Steve Sailer:
* Mike Tyson put it succinctly in Toback’s documentary when he explained why he converted to Islam while in prison for the rape of Desiree Washington: “I hated America so I became a Muslim.”
* Since only European-descended white folk can be racist, everyone else is “counterracist.”
It’s sort of like how we knew that fellow Zimmerman was white. He was racist (he killed one of Obama’s imaginary sons) so obviously he was white. If Trayvon Martin had killed Zimmerman, that would have been counterracism, don’t you see?
* John Derbyshire: The 1991 Gulf War showed how little has changed since those first encounters. Here were the armies of the West: swift, deadly, efficient, equipped and organized, under the command of elected civilians at the head of a robust and elaborate constitutional structure. And here were the Arabs: a shambling, ill-nourished, shoeless rabble, led by a mad gangster-despot. (That was their Arabs. There were also, of course, our Arabs — the Kuwaitis and Saudis, cowering in their plush-lined air-conditioned bunkers being waited on by their Filipino servants while we did their fighting for them.) Final body counts: the West, 134 dead, the Arabs, 20,000 or more. The superiority of one culture over another has not been so starkly demonstrated since a handful of British wooden ships, at the end of ten-thousand-mile lines of communications, brought the Celestial Empire to its knees a hundred and fifty years earlier. The Chinese are still mad about that: they are still making angry, bitter movies about the Opium Wars. A hundred and fifty years from now, the Arabs will not have forgotten the Gulf War.
* Radical Islam is even spreading among Maori prisoners in NZ. Now we laugh. Soon we won’t. Remember 3000 is a lot in a country the size of NZ.
Maori Muslims
There is a small but growing amount of conversions among the wider New Zealand population and Islam is the fastest growing religion amongst the Maori community.[2] The 2001 census figures shows that 3000 Europeans registered as Muslim in 2001. Census figures show the number of Maori Muslims increased from 99 to 708 in the 10 years to 2001. But Kireka-Whaanga, the leader of “Aotearoa Maori Muslim Association” (AMMA), said numbers had shot up since September 11, as global media focused on radical Islam. The AMMA, the most influential Maori Muslim movement, has roots in the Hawkes Bay province. They view Tino Rangitiratanga as a form of jihad and that Islam is the perfect vehicle for Maori nationalism. Most Maori converts are being drawn to the faith through anti-Pakeha sentiment and a fascination with al Qaeda and the radical chic of Black Muslim icons such as Malcolm X.
