* I think their goal is the age old islamic goal of conquering all of Europe. That is the prize of prizes. They’ve had pretty good success. They held onto parts of Iberia for 700 years. They occupied Eastern Europe for over 400 years, and still occupy Constantinople and its surrounds. Recently they successfully tore away Kosovo from Serbia and created a new muslim state inside Europe.
These attacks on Europe are showing just how weak Europe has become and it must give great encouragement to the tens of millions of muslims who seek to dominate Europe. They will continue to migrate and continue to setup their separate communities. Why would they assimilate into a culture that is dying when their culture will eventually prevail?
At first I thought these attacks on Europe were foolish because the muslims still needed more years of massive immigration to get a stronger foothold in Europe. I figured these attacks might close down immigration and begin a period of repatriation.
But now I think these attacks are smart. They are showing just how weak Europe has become and serve as a reminder to muslims to not assimilate and continue working towards the day when they can take over. I cannot imagine the feeling that many muslims must be feeling now. To see their historic enemy, who still has superior military, financial and technological abilities, become so weak and feeble that he is unable to stop what is happening must be surreal. If one were religious I could see how they could feel that God is indeed on their side.
* Yep, it’s hard not to see how Muslims feel that God is on their side the way Europe lays prostrate before them. That they can steal, rape and murder with impunity and all the Euros do is moan for a bit then it’s business as usual.
I wonder if the Europeans will ever wake up from that coffin of socialism they are laying in notice what the hell has happened to their countries.
That said, my money is on the tempo of attacks increasing. As others have stated London is next and probably Berlin as well. We might even get hit before the GOP convention as well since these sorts of attacks gets the jihadi fence sitters all motivated.
* The scorching crime rates, unemployment, and social discord that comes with mass immigration from mohammedan countries into European ones is the reason to prevent such immigration. Mass murder by jihadis is just the icing on the cake.
* It’s likely that most Mexicans are NOT, in fact, Catholic or Christian, in the USA. That’s an old myth that is not true now if it ever was.
We live in L.A. and personally know numerous Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who do not attend church and do not consider themselves Christian, and we don’t personally know many who are practicing Christians.
“Better than Muslims” is unimpressive and is no argument for letting in tens of millions more of these backwards, tubby, grunty, dim bulbs.
* This attack was a reminder to Brussels to keep on doing what they have been doing. In other words Brussels better continue to provide a sanctuary for all aspiring Jihadis where they can collect their Jihad allowance (welfare), relax, breed, and plot attacks. Or Brussels will suffer more attacks.
If Europeans had any fight left in them, they’d be descending upon Molenbeek right now with the intent of running out the inhabitants. Recall how such riots happened in the past. Whether it was the Tulsa race riot, or the Greek Town Riot in Omaha. My bet is that the Europeans will grow more meek and the muslim presence will only increase.
* There was a time when we could hope something like this could be the turning point that would bring people to their senses. Nowadays, it’s like watching a woman who’s been with the same abusive husband for years. At first you hoped each beating would be the last, but now you don’t even have to check – you know she’ll be going straight back to him even before her cuts have stopped bleeding.
Like Pavlov’s dogs, the usual suspects start yakking about the danger of a rise in Islamophobia as soon as they hear a loud bang. Ten years ago, Islamophobia might mean the fire-bombing of mosques or attacks on random Muslims in the street. Nowadays it means objecting to the mass immigration of Muslims.
* The motivation is somewhat impotent rage. There are no demands, there are no objectives. There is just a burning hatred for their host societies and the generally inability to think abstractly or introspectively which are the necessary traits of the career thugs and petty criminals these guys always turn out to have been.
Couple this with a media that tells them they are oppressed and primal sense that non-Muslim society is growing more weak and vanishing/ceding ground and they lash out. It’s basically a glorified version of what they did to people on the street they deemed intimidated by them.
I imagine you’d find the same impression from the black population in Brussels, they just don’t have as big a problem getting a girlfriend or a vast organisation giving them all the tools and examples to commit terrorism.
* It is noticeable that over at the FT their chief foreign commentator Gideon Rachman, whilst clearly intelligent, has simply nothing substantive to say now about mass immigration and Jihadi attacks.
He knows his arguments are flimsy but he has nothing else to offer having no great feeling for the national state nor any other policy than go-ahead globalism and Davos-style backslapping.
(The fool columnist Simon Kuper had a piece in the weekend FT praising Merkel as a safe pair of hands who “dreams in black and white” and was an example to all modern politicians. Christ, even the German papers are now starting to say that she has cocked everything up!)
* We live in Los Angeles, and things are even worse for people trying to defend themselves and their families in California now:
1. Since January 1, 2012, it has been illegal to carry a handgun, loaded or even unloaded, OPENLY. See unconstitutional California Penal Code section 26350.
2. When applying for a concealed-carry “permit”, the citizen has the burden of showing “good cause” (!) for wanting to exercise his Second Amendment rights, and the sheriff may in his discretion deny the application if he — the sheriff! — personally believes / feels that the applicant is not of “good moral character” (which the statute does not define).
Ironic that a paid government thug, who intimidates and oppresses and violates the rights of peaceful people regularly — would be the one to decide whether someone else is not of good character.
* Donald Trump just forced Wolf to “look at those pictures…look at those beautiful babies dead on the floor” – minutes ago! (don’t know if I got the exact quote right). I just want the world to admit that these savages are subhuman, damaged, psychopathic, nihilistic men that need to be exterminated.
* Most western pathologies — including socialism, multiculturism, environmentalism, etc. — are best understood as Christian heresies. Merkel and her seemingly inexplicable and irrational actions are best examined through this lens: she’s a heretic. She’s trying to redeem lost sheep through her own, and by extension her culture’s, perceived power of mercy.
“Then she presented her own policies as the heir to these miracles of Christian Democracy.”
And there’s the rub: to a faithful Christian, this statement reeks of sinful pride. Miracles are the work of God, not a human political party. Merkel has strayed far from her upbringing. It’s doing God’s will to minister to the least of these in one’s own home, giving freely of one’s own gifts and resources in grateful response to God’s gift of unmerited grace. It’s far different — it’s prideful and Satanic — to then instantiate true charity in government policies that are imposed on others via the threat of force.
This sleight of hand, this bait-and-switch, is at the heart of all contemporary Christian heresies. Western liberals of all stripes take God’s commands and principles for individual believers and twist them into soulless ‘policies’ that are then enforced on whole societies via government legislation and ‘programs’. Liberals then get the glory for supporting nice clean, abstract government policies while feeling no pressing need to engage in icky, hands-on charity in their own lives.
