Newspeak Triumphs, Truth Slain

“They all looked half drugged or half asleep, dull, as if the creatures had been hypnotized or poisoned….they walked and moved and went about their lives in a condition of sleepwalking: they were not aware of themselves, of other people, of what went on around them.”

Thus spake Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing in The Four-Gated City.

Do people really understand what is going on in our world right now? That language is being used to confuse us? America is the greatest “terrorist,” Israeli Jews are the “Nazis,” non-Muslim pro-western Brits are called “right wing fascists” because a small number stood up to 200 angry and armed Muslim Brits in front of a Birmingham mosque, parliamentarian Geert Wilders is considered a “racist Islamophobe” and faces a criminal trial because he tells the truth about Islamist jihad.

And, by the way, the so-called “fascist” Brits held aloft an Israeli flag and signs that said “Extremists Out,” “Britain Safe.” One woman interviewed said: “If people come here they should respect out laws.” Yes, this group may also be allied with genuine Nazi-era style racist-fascists—but then again, they may not be. The problem is that what they are saying has merit.

The Orwellian doublespeak (or Newspeak) does not stop here. People insist that honor killings which, according to my research, are mainly a Muslim-on-Muslim and male-on-female crime have absolutely nothing to do with Islam; that Islam is a religion of peace; that 9/11, 3/11, 7/7—have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia or al-Qaeda, that Arab and south Asian Muslims did not fly planes into American buildings and embassies, blow up trains in Madrid and London, perpetrate a massacre in Mumbai.

Naw. The Zionists and the CIA really did it all. But if the Arab and south Asian Muslims did do it too—they did so for a noble reason, to protest the Zionist “occupation” of disputed lands, long claimed as “Palestinian” by the Arab League, the United Nations, international human rights groups, and the western intelligentsia.

Arthur Koestler, in The God That Failed describes the intellectuals who joined the communist party in the 1930s as naive idealists and those who recruited and used them as carrying on a “white slave traffic whose victims were young idealists flirting with violence.” Or, as my friend and computer genius, Mitchell Price, has put it: Those Americans who keep giving a free pass to jihadists and Islamists are flirting with “the barbarian within.”

I’ll say.

    Phyllis, it is because of the cultural bankruptcy of those who want the benefits of monotheism, but can’t stand it when reminded that the most durable standard is eternal.

    They are cheating themselves, and ultimately all of us.

  2. The news about the Florida court and Rifqa Bary is terrifying. Everything possible should be done to publicize this information.

  3. I have written about Rifqa Bary to President Obama and to various newspaper people, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Shanah Tovah, Dr. Chesler – another Jewish New Year will soon be here. Time passes so quickly. You were an important part of my life as I came of age as a second wave feminist. Whatever our real disagreements may be (and we have real agreements about the horrors of gender apartheid and misogyny too), I will always be grateful for Women and Madness, for having heard you speak at Jewish feminist conferences, at the New School (my alma mater too – for a masters in anthropology), and at a conference at NYU on pornography. And fleetingly on the street when you lived in Park Slope. We had a brief conversation a long time ago about anti-Semitism in the feminist movement. You may not remember. No matter.

    Again, Shanah Tovah to you and to your family.

    Mohammed Atta wrote in his diary a checklist for the night before the 9/11 attack:

    [Inspect your weapon before setting out and before you even begin to set out and let every one of you sharpen his knife and kill his animal (dhabiha) and bring about comfort and relief of his slaughter before the journey.]

    In all this checklist found in his luggage that was luckily sent to the wrong place, there is a common line of piety, religiosity, so Pascal wrote:

    “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”

    However evil the 9/11 attacks were, they were surpassed by the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai. The original and festering wound, even before Palestine, was, and is, the Kashmir.

    UNSPEAKABLE crimes and horrors have been perpetrated by the Jihadis in Kashmir through the decades. Hundreds of thousands of Kashmir Hindu Pundits are refugees in squalid conditions in their own country in refugee camps. Abandoned by the world. My friend, French Journalist Francois Gauthier, a resident of Auroville, was in New York last month with his, now famous, display and presentation on this horrible, and continuing, tragedy.
    http://www.lokvani.com/lokvani/article.php?article_id=5917

    Yes, in Mumbai, in the name of Allah (whoever that Devil is) and his prophet. May I remind you that the beautiful and young Israeli couple, the Rabbi and his wife, were TORTURED before being killed!!

    For those who preach peace for peace’s sake, please come down to the world. In the name of Allah and Islam, the great religion of peace.

    The writing is on the wall.

    A Buddhist monk was once asked to sum up Buddhist thought and dogma. He thought for a moment and said, “Do good. Resist evil.”

    It is clear to me that we must resist the advance of Islam on our beloved country. The Rifqa Bary case simply points out that Muslim quislings are already here. Resist their evil. Rifqa will be butchered by her parents if she is returned to them. This is a fact. Do good and shelter this young women from the swords of Islam.

  7. 7. Thumbnail

    Send Rifqa to Australia. She is considered an apostate and crim. She will fit in nicely here, and she can disappear in the outback for a dammned good long time. She does need protection, and I would hope there is an underground railway for muddled Muslims as there was for blacks all those years ago. Maybe some Canadian will take her under their wing. Oh. Wait a minute. There are honour killings there too. Keep her away from the Kingston canal.

    I wonder how many people that CAIR had to funnel money (from the Saudi royal family) to for them to get that judgment?

    Phyllis, take a gander at this piece by Barbara Kaye. For she writes a lot like you, and I am guessing that you have names not on her rolodex,
    and vice versa.

    Enjoy!

    Truth and survival

    Barbara Kay, National Post

    Broadly speaking, 9/11 produced two instinctive responses in the thinking population, which then became political positions that have continued to diverge and harden with the years.

    The realists instantly understood that the trade tower attacks were the tipping point of an already metastasizing jihad against the West, a jihad that had now to be resisted on all fronts: the physical jihad by combat, and the soft jihad– the push for Islamization of the West through suppression of “offensive” speech and a gradual imposition of shariah law –by words and civic actions.

    A more populous and culturally influential group, our liberal dreamers — mainstream media, intelligentsia, liberal Christian and Jewish clergy and most Western politicians — were too besotted by utopian multicultural ideals to grasp the nettle of Islamism as a phenomenon beyond rational means of containment.

    The realists understood that the survival of Western civilization was at stake. The dreamers understood that the success of the ideal of tolerance was at stake. The realists understood that the West was the victim of 9/11. The multiculturalists understood that Muslims were the victims (or soon would be) of our racist society’s Islamophobia.

    Hard evidence validating realists’ fears continues to mount across the West, while no evidence has materialized to justify the dreamers’ fears.

    In 2006 there were 8,000 hate crimes reported to the FBI in the United States. By far, the most — 2,640 — were directed against blacks. Gay males suffered 747 hate-motivated crimes. Only 156 incidents involved Islamophobia, a trivial figure in a population of 300 million.

    Islamophobia amongst Western non-Muslims is highly exaggerated, but anti-Westernism amongst radical Muslims is not. Trouble is, the evidence of jihadism in our midst is deemed inadmissible by the dreamers who preside over the court of public opinion. The dreamers’ strategy is to brand realists as Islamophobes, while promoting an unnecessary and unseemly Islamophilia.

    This Islamophilia is urged upon us by omission and commission, and in ways both benign and wicked: from CBC’s intelligence-insulting series, Little Mosque on the Prairie, to the singling out of Muslims from other religious groups for government outreach programs, to — most perniciously– indulgence by our human rights commissions of hate-filled anti-Western rhetoric by imams, while demonizing heritage Canadians who “offend” Muslims with facts and statistics.

    One assiduously realistic witness to the truth about Islamism is Bruce Bawer, Oslo-based author of the newly-published book, Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom. He spoke in Ottawa Monday; he’ll be speaking tonight in Montreal, and tomorrow in Quebec City. (See http://www.pointdebasculecanada.cafor details.) Bawer is a gay activist who abandoned what he considered a homophobic U. S. in 1998 to breathe progressive Europe’s more “tolerant” air. Instead what he found there was an Islam based homophobia far more menacing than anything he’d experienced in Christian America.

    His eyes now opened to the effects of an increasingly Islamified Europe, Bawer became the poster boy for the proverbial liberal mugged by multicultural reality. The epiphany resulted in his first book, While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam Is Destroying the West from Within, a withering critique of Europe’s pusillanimous submission, in the name of multiculturalism, to virulent misogyny, anti-Semitism and homophobia.

    Today Bawer is recognized as one of the most persuasive members of a small but courageous band of politically incorrect brothers and sisters: brilliant writers like Bat Ye’or (Eurabia), Andrew Bostum (The Legacy of Jihad), Melanie Phillips (Londonistan), Claire Berlinski (Menace in Europe) and Canadians Mark Steyn (America Alone) and David Solway (The Big Lie), to name but a few. These Cassandras have difficulty finding uncowed publishers willing to back them. They risk libel suits and even physical harm, but they soldier on in the name of truth and Western survival.

    There is hope that some influential dreamers are waking up from their eight-year nap. None of the books mentioned above was reviewed by The New York Times, including Bawer’s first book. But his new book, Surrender, was given a positive review this summer. The review began with these words: “There is no more important issue facing the West than Islamism … and there is no more necessary precondition to countering that threat than understanding it … But before we do any of that, we have to agree that the threat exists.”

    The review ends: “Surrender is, at times, hard going … [because] Bawer is unquestionably correct, and that fact is quite simply terrifying.”

    Just so.

    Re. the Muslim ‘prayers’ (massed threat display) that is planned for Capitol Hill, Washington, on 25 September. (I am reminded of the mass Muslim male threat display – oops, ‘prayers’ – that took place in the piazza in front of the Duomo in Milan, in January this year, as part of a let’s-hate-Israel jihad incitement ‘protest’).

    First: ALL non-Muslims of every non-Muslim faith should pray that something happens to spoil this event – for example, drenching rain all day, nice and cold, with an icy wind, would be good.

    Second: they want 50 000 people for their mass threat display? OK – ACT for America and friends should be hitting the phones, emails and social networks and raising the alarm, with a view to rustling up *at least* 70 000 people, preferably 100 000, and ideally from all non-Muslim backgrounds – Jewish, Christian (need lots of Copts and Assyrians), Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, secular, black (throw in some Sudanese Christians), white and brown – who can turn up *first* on Capitol Hill on 25 September, with plenty of banners and flags, and leaflets to hand out to passers-by, leaflets that give the facts about sharia, jihad, killing of apostates, etc. Get there early in the morning; march around the Capitol and sing anthems and bless the USA ; and then settle in to wait and watch. Let the Muslims see that there are a *lot* of Americans who are onto their little game.

    And some people should bring dogs, if they have dogs that can handle crowd situations. Put those right at the front. Dogs are supposed to scramble Muslim ‘prayers’.

  11. 11. Lynda

    “Oh yes, let’s not forget the call for 50,000 “peaceful” Muslims to pray on Capital Hill on September 25th of this year…
    Why not pray in a mosque? Why on Capitol Hill? What kind of momentum is being gathered and expressed here?”

    Phyllis, you need only go to http://islamoncapitolhill.com/Home_Page.html
    to realize exactly what is being expressed here. Scroll down to the bottom of the home page for “Islam on Capitol Hill” and you will find this final statement…OUR TIME HAS COME.

    So, I have a question and my question is …where are all the bloggers on this one???? “Islam on Capitol Hill” seems to me to be a subject of much greater urgency than, for example, another expose of Carter or ACORN. Let’s get out there and make sure that everyone knows about this…Because of everyone I sent this link to, not a single person had ever heard of “Islam on Capitol Hill”. And I think that’s really scary.

  12. 12. Lynda

    I think we are all as lost as you when it comes to the American judicial system’s refusal to recognize the existance of honour killings when they occur right under its very nose (as it were)

    Rifqa Bary, this desperate child, needs someone to spirit her away to safety before the courts, and ultimately her family, get their hands on her.

  13. 13. AQUA

    Just what would be the response of the great liberal media if 50,000 Christians assembled on Capitol Hill “to pray?”

    No doubt the “outrage” and clamour would be deafening and would go on for weeks.

    I’m not in favor of any particular religious group doing that, but I’d sure like to see it just to point out the hypocrisy and the attacks being made on Christians (I’m not a Christian, by the way — but there’s no doubt they’re being continuously maligned)while at the same time there is “protection” of Islamist political bullying.

    The idea of all religionists showing up on September 25 is fantastic, and I do hope that happens. But as a special event for themselves only, a group of many religions would never get the attention in the media in the form of attacks that a purely Christian group would — which — if it could only happen a few days or a week after the Islamist event, would make the clear hypocrisy of the media blare out, besides making a strong statement to those who think their “time has come.”

  14. 14. Jack in Silver Spring

    Ms. Chesler:

    Gut Gesukht (well said). My only disagreement with you is calling Islam a religion. The reality is that Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religlion. (Here I echo someone else on the Internet whose name I unfortunately forgotten.) We should all view everything Moslems do and say through that prism.

  15. 15. George S

    thank you for another excellent article Phyllis.

    some of what you write is painfully obvious yet the majority of people are swing to the incorrect view. both painfull and sad.

    as for the youth Rifqa, why they would consider sending her back to her parents is a one-sided joke considering how the police and judges usually go after parents and take their children away for much less of a threat. what a horrible up side down world the progressives are making.

  16. 16. lefroy

    Isn’t it interesting that none of the left wing trolls who frequent this site have anything to say.

  17. 17. Jaladhi

    Dr. Chesler, my only question is why is this “Sleeping Western Giant” still sleeping or rather it is in “coma” induced by the PC mad MSM(now could be called Fringe Media per Glenn Beck), and our clueless politicians. What is going to wake up this “giant”and when?
    Just last week, FBI raided houses in NYC looking for an Afgani resident and found nine brand new backpacks and a large number of cell phones. Were these Afgani Muslims planning 3/11 and 7/7 type attack(s) on NYC subway system??? Who knows??? Give them shelter and thats what you get back.

    Slowly Muslims and their apologists are attacking our freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and our constitution using( or misusing) our own laws and still the “sleeping Western Giant” keeps on sleeping.
    Just hope it’s not too late before it wakes up!!!

    One must wonder – for all the terrorist talent that exists in the middle-east, why isn’t any of it directed against those tyrannical governments?

    14069 Deadly terror attacks since 9/11

    Last week’s Islamicist body count:
    Jihad Attacks: 54
    Dead Bodies: 221
    Critically Injured: 283

    Last month’s:
    Jihad Attacks: 222
    Countries: 15
    Religions: 5
    Dead Bodies: 980
    Critically Injured: 2369

    “any Muslim who converts out, who becomes an apostate, is supposed to be killed by their families or by any other faithful Muslim”

    The truth is a bitch (as the saying goes).

    People had better wake up and stop pandering to the supposed ‘religion of peace’.

  23. 23. Kipling

    For those interested in a what convert from Islam to Christianity has to say on the matter, please check out http://www.erguncaner.com. Caner, who is originially from Turkey, converted to Christianity and is now the President of Liberty Theological Seminary. His take on the matter is that Muslims who attack and kill non-muslims are not extremists but rather devout followers of the Koran. He can quote you chapter and verse on what the Koran says and his website has a listing as well.

  24. 24. Jaladhi

    #24 :”His take on the matter is that Muslims who attack and kill non-muslims are not extremists but rather devout followers of the Koran.”

    Only an ex-Muslim can say this! and he is
    exactly right!!! And until we, our political leaders,our fringe media(formerly known as MSM), and our university academia understand this, we won’t be able to tckle their barbarianism.

  25. 25. Wynne

    Update: Florida’s (FDLE) report has not gone unopposed.

    The Baron at Gates of Vienna has a current article* about the state of things with Rifqa Bary. It includes excerpts of a rebuttal report in which John D. Guandolo challenges with factual detail the Florida findings.

    it is a bit tricky to dabble in bans of this or that. but the hijab is not just a tratition, but an obligation in many muslim countries and enforced by the religious police in those countries where it is mandatory.

    although a tradition to some …but sometimes a tradition force by religion, not by choice.

    choice is what I take away from Phyllis’ writting.

    regards

  27. 27. Marie Claude

    so if you take that away, so will these muslim women, therfefore that teen girl has no chance

  28. Given that Rifqa Bary is almost 18 this judge should have considered erring on the side of her safety, perhaps her life rather than returning her to Ohio.

    Are the peaceful Muslims a trojan horse to hide the fanatics?

  30. 30. Leatherneck

    Within the Great Satan, we are all inside the house of war. The Ummah makes war on many fronts. CAIR, the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas, Hizboallah, and the nice followers of allah in New York and Denver they are rounding up as we write are consistant examples of Islam.

    Some lovers of allah the moon god make war by attacking the freedom of speech with lawyers, while others plan murder for the infidel in subways, and in schools like Belson, Russia.

    BZO, or Die! ROPMA!

  31. 31. Laura

    With their silence and stubborn adherence to political correctness and even fear, America’s leaders are guilty of aiding and abetting the islamic jihad being waged against us.

    Should she be forced to go back to her parents, the blood of Rifqa Barry and all other “apostates” and women and girls who will be the victims of islamic “honor” killings, will be on the hands of every one of those morally bankrupt cowards in the media, the politicians and judges who were more concerned about avoiding confrontation with the muslim community than the lives of innocents. They will also be guilty of treason against America for violating our constitution by allowing the implementation of sharia law. We are headed down the same tragic path as Europe because of the same type of emasculated leaders.

  32. 32. EscapeVelocity

    I think that Christians should have a pray in at the White House, with numbers in the millions, even dwarfing the Tea Partiers.

    Its not a political statement…

  33. 33. RRWest

    Europe fought against Islamic conquest for over 1,000 years, stopping the Ottoman Turks from entering western Europe on Sept 11, 1683 at the gates of Vienna by only the slimmest of margins.

    Since the emergence of western immigration policies that allow self-styled refugees to enter without question, and the adoption of multicultural policies that were designed to assist those same immigrants adapt to their new homelands, these same nations and others have embraced the enemy whole-heartedly.

    This is in spite of the constant violence that Islam promotes, the destruction of western traditions and the on-going harrasment, victimization and even murder of non-believers by Muslims in many countries around the world. It is part of the practices of jihad, which is embedded into this control system that disguises itself as a religion.

    I feel that the need for oil fuels this madness and we should do everything we can to stop remove the west’s dependence on Muslim oil and also the hijra.

    May the west, truth, equality, freedom, justice and democracy prevail.
    Kufar and proud.

  34. 34. Robert

    Perhaps appeals can delay Rifqa Bary from being returned to Ohio until she is over eighteen. She needs to be protected.

  35. 35. Lynn

    Whether this young girl was coerced into leaving her family or whether she truly was under threat of harm, it is the obligation to the United States to investigate the matter.

    This is a terrible thing to wonder if parents would harm their child in the name of their religion. The repercussions of the War on Terror are being felt in every part of our lives it seems, and Islam is having a harsh light shining on it. From children being raised to become suicide killers, to text books and mosques teaching and preaching vile hatred against Jews, Infidels and the West, it seems that we are constantly walking a finer and finer line between holding onto our freedom and becoming a police state where no one is sure about anything and our freedoms and privacy are being eroded away.

  36. 36. Jason S

    Once again Phyllis cuts through the BS with a hot knife and calls a spade a spade. The truth may hurt, but it is still the truth, and there is a fundamental flaw in Islam, at least as practiced and taught in the east, that needs to be addressed directly and with facts. Is poverty mixed with theocracy the cause? Maybe so, but the result is a large segment of the earth’s population that cannot seem to accept the rest of us as equals. Why should we try any longer to understand them? Seems to me like they should try a little harder to understand non-Mulsims or be dealt with accordingly.

  37. 37. DavidN

    I’m afraid this one is going to be ugly. The courts will never keep this girl away from her parents: we’ve seen cases here in the states where parents kill one child, and are given another one back from foster care, with the admonition to “try again”. Given how terrified everyone in the establishment is right now of being thought anti-Muslim, there’s no way a judge is going to do anything other than give the girl back to her parents. Then, either nothing happens, or she is killed. If nothing happens, we’ll all breathe a sigh of relief. If dad kills her, we’ll constantly hear that this isn’t typical of Islam, and most Muslims aren’t violent. I’m not sure how this could turn out well, frankly, other than if the dad turns out to be understanding enough to accept that his daughter has changed religions. Somehow, that’s the one I doubt the most.

  38. 38. Zac D.

    You assume Rifqa Bary’s father follows the the Quran to the tee. After seeing how crazy jesus juice has made her I don’t think her father does at all. Of course, i’m not saying honor killings aren’t taught in islam or are not carried out. However, What I am saying is the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s evidence does not agree with your evidence that honor killings are allowed in the faith of Islam. If you can not connect that DOT you do not have a case.

  39. 39. Zac D.

    I just reread what I wrote.

    I’m also not saying the “Law Enforcement” has in general disproven “honor killings in Islam”. They have not, they can not, and will not because they do indeed exist. But they have disproven Rifqa Bary. She was not a case for honor killing. We should be upset with her for making a mockery out of a very real subject. Now the media will use her as their pin up girl who cried wolf. An real honor killings will be ignored by journalist.

  40. 40. Lynn

    “After seeing how crazy jesus juice has made her”

    You can take a glass of sanity juice and mix a little mockery in with it, but the bitter taste of contempt remains in the mouth.

    One truth I do know is that Jesus would hate the hypocricy and deceit present on either side.

    Drink up your own bitter words.

  41. 41. Dr. Bukk

    As long as Islam exists, the rest of the world will be obligated to kill off their extra men. They are “extra” because polygamy guarantees that an alarming portion of the male population will never marry.

    The Satanic design of Islam anticipates this, and promotes war against infidels, jihad, pedophilia and bestiality to balance society, i.e. kill off or sexually satisfy the extra men. The one glaring mistake is the inbreeding which results from polygamy, which may explain the insanity of the adherents after 1300 years of consanguineous marriages.

  42. 42. Greying Wanderer

    “I feel that the need for oil fuels this madness and we should do everything we can to stop remove the west’s dependence on Muslim oil and also the hijra.”

    Quite.

    I’d like to see islam pushed out of the west completely – pushed south of the sahara and east of the jordan.

  43. 43. Abu Infidel

    Zac D;

    If that girl was that terrified, it’s a sure bet that what she’s heard all her life from her family, relatives, and ‘Sunday School’ is that Muslims who leave Islam are undeserving of any humanity.

    Now, while it is certainly true that not all people who leave Islam are at risk from their co-religionists, it was a strong possibility in her particular case.

  44. 44. myth buster

    30. It’s more than that. The so-called peaceful Muslims are a front to fund and supply the jihadists. In addition to putting up a facade of peace, they see it as a religious duty to pay not less than 1/40 of their income to Islamic charities, most of which fund jihad, using whatever legitimate humanitarian purposes they may have as a front. They also tend to have lots of kids (not that I have any objection to large families, but many of these kids will grow up to be soldiers in the jihad).

  45. 45. JFM

    All Muslims aren’t terrorists just as all Nazis weren’t murderers but Islam is terrorists and fascist.

  46. 46. willwood

    We are at war, not with Islam, but with a political organization of psychopathic vermin who realize that their most potent weapon is the progressive media that seems to worship the “cause” that they represent. Any reference to Islam by these criminals is blasphemy. How can people of the Muslim faith sit quietly while their religion is being demonized by these acts of barbarism? The cowardice displayed by the “soldiers of Islam” is evident in their tactics (i.e. school bus bombings, church bombings, market bombings) the murder of innocents, should make Mohamed proud. Stand up for your faith. Speak up and help purge this disease that has infected your religion and regain your faith. Christians are not a group of people bent on conquest. People of different faiths need not seek the destruction of their counterparts. We are all neighbors on this planet who can benefit from each others different backgrounds and cultures.

  47. 47. MiamaMan

    48. willwood:

    Even though you say many truths, and I concur with most of your ideas, allow me…

    [Speak up and help purge this disease that has infected your religion and regain your faith]

    Islam has been infected from the very beginning. The cause of infection was Mohammed himself and the Quoran. Swami Vivekananda, in his 1895 book “Raja Yoga” nailed it on the head, when he wrote about the dangers of stumbling upon higher states of consciousness without the proper preparation, akin to what happened to Hindu Pundit Gopi Krishna. Vivekanandaji wrote in page 80:

    “…Mohammed spoke some wonderful truths. If you read the Koran, you find the most wonderful truths mixed with superstitions. How will you explain it? The man was inspired, no doubt, but that inspiration was, as it were, stumbled upon. He was not a trained yogi and did not know the reason for what he was doing. Think of the good Mohammed did to the world, and think of the great evil that has been done through his fanaticism! Think of the millions massacred through his teachings – mothers bereft of their children, children made orphans, whole countries destroyed, millions upon millions of people killed!.

    And that was in 1895!

    Response to Zac D @ 39: See my post at 24 and check out Caner’s website at http://www.erguncaner.com. He will connect the dots for you. He was interviewed on the plight of the young woman http://www.floridabaptistwitness.com/10777.article.

    During the Holocaust, concentration camp inmates who had lost the will to live were known as Muslims. This reveals an essential truth that the religion of Islam is too powerful for ordinary people to manage, reducing them in the process to sleepwalkers who are only roused from their slumbers when they are whipped into an emotional frenzy by their leaders.

    In order for the West to survive it is incumbent on its leaders to recognise this truth and to do their utmost to mitigate the approaching cataclysm. The alternative is the steady descent into a Pax Islamica – a blanket of horror that civilisation may never recover from.

    I suspect that if Rifqa Bary is returned to her parents, because of all the publicity, she will not be murdered. Islam in America has too much to lose by her death. A more likely scenario is that she will be spirited out of the country to a place where she can be locked up, beaten, and raped by a “husband” after an enforced marriage to a Muslim. She would never see the light of freedom again. Her only escape from her living hell would be suicide. This girl must not be returned to her parents, and must be protected. Even at 18 she could still be murdered or kidnapped.

    51. George:

    Thanks.

    1.) Good association with World War II Nazi camps and the “Muselmänner” as they called those that wasted away and lost their will to live. Many ended up running onto the electrified wires. I never thought about this association, but it makes sense.

    2.) “The alternative is the steady descent into a Pax Islamica – a blanket of horror that civilization may never recover from.”

    This is the scary part. This is the objective of the Lord of Falsehood (Lord of the Nations) and his evil cohort. Hitler was within a hair’s breath of getting to his. His nemesis was called Winston Churchill, whom we can consider a Vibhuti (according to the Baghavad Gita). Vibhutis are sent here for a specific role, some may be atheist like Caesar or even Napoleon, the majority do not know what his/her role is, but do it nevertheless, as they are compelled to.

    The scary part is, indeed, that the triumph of civilization and the Spirit this time around IS NOT VOUCHSAFED. It never was, unfortunately. Failure is still a possibility.

    That day of May 1945 when Hitler committed suicide, the Evil Force moved away.

    I have been told that nowadays It wears a turban and cries “Alla hu Akbar”.

    as long as there is a person in the white house who would, for the sake of not offending those who would be our murders, call them anything other than terrorists, we are sitting ducks.

    As long as our legal system discounts the insidiousness of fundamentalist Islam in our courts, there will be no justice for girls like Rifqa.

    Important story.

    This is how a civilization declines – it turns against the core values that built it. The Left and Muslims are now in alliance against Western core values. If it continues for much longer then it’s game over for Western civilization, and I see nothing on the horizon to give me hope. All I see is a small number of people here and there that understand what is happening but impotent to counter the power and social control of the Left/Muslim alliance.

    A minor point, but please cease calling it “Gender Apartheid.
    It is a woman’s sex that consigns her to an apartheid-like system and her sex that signs her death warrant where suspicions concerning her humanity are concerned by the other sex in Iss-slum.

    words have gender: in Spanish, in German, In Italian, French, but not in English.

    Swear off these phony womenist, acedemic, worthless Orwellian terms. They have done enough damage already. You speak of sleepwalking; such irresponsible and lazy terms misappropriated only further the disreputable cause of a dishonest front for the naked ambition of those who crave power and control, which puts these phony womenists in the same bed as these radical Islamiasts (men). Thank You.

    Unfortunately, it looks bleak for Rifqa. I just don’t see our cowardly officials standing up for freedom, well, not Christian freedom, anyway. How awful. I know it must be too late for the U.S.A. All signs point to her rapid decline and demise of liberty. Rifqa will be immediately in the presence of the One she worships and they can’t take that away from her!! We will all face death, (except the ones who are living at the time of the catching away of the church) somehow, some time. It is simply the entry-way to eternity. Where we spend it is up to us as individuals. Choose eternal life through Jesus of Nazareth. The only alternative is the eternal lake of fire.
