Re: Johan Hari’s Brilliant Hypothesis

The true root cause was NOT fishing limitations in Somalia, but a ban on Brittany Spears concerts and paraphenalia. It’s TRUE I read all about it in the Riyadh Daily Zionist Plot Gazzette….ALLAH !

The only way to deal with evil is to admit where it comes from, and attack the source.

Islam – the “religion of peace” – is the source.

Islam teaches a small but significant number of its most devout believers that it is OK to commit violence in the name of Islam. All Islamic violence stems from these brainwashed believers.

We – the non-Muslim world – either take off the PC muzzle and criticize the core teachings of Islam or continue to watch the expansion of an (Islamic) ideology that is more human disease than religion.

Polygamy does more than enslave women by reducing them to cattle. It engenders burning jealousies and deeply repressed hatreds among their male offspring.

A Muslim wife bears up when the paterfamilias prefers another wife and her children. Her master’s carnal whim is merely one of a thousand burdens familiar to enslaved Muslim women. Not so her sons. They boil with rage and envy they don’t dare express.

Rabid hatred of Christians and Jews unlike rage against one’s patriarch and his preferred sons, is entirely permissible, indeed, encouraged. Jihad is an expression of the psychological disorder at the heart of Islamic society. Polygamy is what makes Islam the religion of hate.

I have been convinced for some time that there are two essentials to conclusively winning the war against Islam. (“Overseas contingency operation” and ‘war on terror” are cowardly official evasions.) First, we must replace petroleum as a primary fuel source. Second we must radically raise the consciousness of Arab women.

Only when Muslim tyrants are pauperized and Muslim women are emancipated will peace be possible with Islam.

‘Racial justice trumps gender injustice’ — this is the story of the 21st century. When I read that wretched Times article, I though of Rosa Luxemburg — her line about being truth’s pimp, not truth’s lover, when you “bring truth all masked and painted to the ball.”

The Somali pirates attacked a ship carrying humanitarian aid. This was not an act of “revenge” against someone. It was outlaw piracy. And the pirates, will be shown the result of their actions, regardless of the conditions that drove them to such actions. Piracy on the seas will not be tolerated, period.

Unfortunately, it’s not entirely true that the Barbary pirates were stopped with military action. While the United States did fight them, and had some success, what actually stopped them was a pair of events. One, we paid protection money (as did most European nations of the era) which we had originally refused to do (cf. the “millions for defense” quote above). And second, at just about the same time, the Napoleonic wars ended. While Europe was fighting off Bonaparte, everyone’s navy was distracted, but with the end of the war, the Pirates saw the writing on the wall, took their tribute, and became good citizens, because they didn’t want to risk the wrath of the British. By the next century, the kidnappings were committed by minor warlords attempting to embarrass their overlords (eg the Perdicaris incident).

Johan Hari further falsifies his exoneration of Somali pirates, because their activities more closely resemble those of the Barbary pirates in the 18th-early 19th centuries, who took seamen — including numbers of Americans — as slaves, and demanded huge ransoms. It is worth noting that the Barbary pirates were only stopped by military action by the U.S. Navy and Marines (on “the shores of Tripoli”), sent by Thomas Jefferson (“Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute”) and again in 1835, and the French in 1830.
The Somalis bear relatively little resemblance to the British pirates, many of whom began as privateers authorized by their governments –and who took loot, especially gold and silver from Spanish treasure ships, not hostages for ransom.
