Towards the West's Destruction, Every Knee Must Bend

We could all be forgiven for assuming that the Religion of Peace™ had never had any involvement in the enslavement and exploitation of black people, to hear the Islamic preachers featured below talk.  But who can truly blame them for taking the opportunity of exploiting the current insanity and naivity prevalent in the West with regard to the excesses of the Black Lives Matter movement in order to advance Islam?

In this photo, for instance, are some of the nice but naive Vicar of Rome's nice but naive representatives in El Paso, including a bishop,  paying homage to the movement.

Grab a sick bag and look at this!

This Lowell, Massachusetts, policeman had more gumption and commonsense when, despite raucous intimidatory demands that he "take a knee" he calmly and steadfastly refused to do so.

 So, too, did black Georgia State Trooper O'Neal Saddler, who explained that he kneels only before God, a principle that accords with many Jews and others, including this rabbi:

The link above also shows that State Trooper Saddler has also sensibly observed that 'the actions of bad officers don't make me or other good officers bad'. 

One of the latest targets of the Black Lives Matter movement has been the memorial in Boston to the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, that band of black Civil War heroes and their young white commander, Captain Robert Gould Shaw, whose courage and sacrifice in the cause of human dignity and freedom was so memorably told in the 1989 movie Glory.

Another target, of course, has been Sir Winston Churchill's statue near the Houses of Parliament in London.  For shame.

Heaven help anybody who dares to suggest that a better slogan than Black Lives Matter is the inclusive All Lives Matter, which embraces every human being, or who, while conceding that his was a terrible, unconscionable way to die and that Derek Chauvin thgoroughly deserves punishment for his brutal actions, that there are worthier heroes for Afro-Americans than a career criminal such as George Floyd.  If that brave and articulate black American, the estimable Candace Owens, could not escape calumny for saying so, what hope is there for the rest of us from demonisation as racists by political "progressives"?

Is there no limit to this demented thirst for revenge against all white people (including Jews who don't know or don't care that the Black Lives Matter movement is deeply infested with hostility towards both Jews and Israel) for the racist behaviour of some?  Who, in all honesty, can deny that much of what we are seeing is racism in reverse?

Meanwhile, here are the two Olde Tyme preachers I referred to in the introductory sentence, making mischief out of these crazy times in which we are now suddenly embroiled.

Below is Islamic scholar Nafis Abu Zayd Sparrow of Philadelphia, where he was formerly an imam, and is now librarian at the Maktabah Ibn Taymiyyah Islamic Library and Learning Center,  talking on 2 June, in the wake of George Floyd's death.

To quote Memri TV):

'Comparing the black community to the Children of Israel, whom he said would kill their own prophets, he said that one must fight in order to attain freedom and that this is what had been advocated and spoken about by Malcolm X, whom he said had been the leader that had adhered most closely to the Quran and the Sunnah.

 Sparrow said that if people who are fed up with the system want to make a difference, they must become a formidable and respected foe. He explained that it takes some "real fighting" to stand up, that revolution requires bloodshed, and that America's indigenous blacks should fight for their own land, similar to how Asians have Chinatown and how the Jews in New York have their own "police state" [Emphasis added]'

 Sparrow elaborated that he is "all for" doing what Malcolm X had advocated, and he said that since people are not ready for any form of Jihad, they should be quiet, supplicate to Allah, and inspire others.....' 

And here, on 4 June, is British Islamic scholar Sheikh Haitham Al-Haddad, of Palestinian background, a board member of several Islamic organisations, talking in the aftermath of George Floyd's death ("Surrender yourself to the real superpower -- Allah.").

 To quote Memri TV:

'He said that democracy is being abused by powerful people, that his idea for "post-democracy" is a merge between democracy and Islam, and that the only solution for abuse of power is submission to Allah [Emphasis added].

"Pigs Are Haram"

Remember the '60s?  Remember how radical lefties in America routinely dubbed police "pigs"?  Well, it seems the insult may be returning, at least of this Black Lives Matter demonstrator has her way.

George Floyd was a career criminal and, as Candace Owens, herself black, has argued, not the most wortht black person to be cast as a hero in the eyes of African Americans, his death was an outrage, and his killer deserves no sympathy. 

Of course Black Lives Matter.  But so too do all lives. Including White Lives, despire the demonisation of white people which is proceeding apace and is being abetted by radical whites themselves, and by police and politicians who participate in the sickening spectacle of bending the knee to atone for their "white privilege".

On the subject of that submission see Caroline Glick here and Melanie Phillips here and Frank Haviland here

It's hardly surprising that there is much anger in Australia at the holding of BLM demos in city centres today with bloody-minded disregard for social distamcing.  An arrogant young (white) demonstrator even said on camera that the deaths of a few hundred people from Covid-19 as a result of the demo would not matter, since the deaths of Aborigines in custody is so much more important.

The state of New South Wales had attempted to ban the Sydney demo, but the state Supreme Court court overturned the ruling.  In Victoria, the government of dictatorial far left premier Dan Andrews asked protesters not to proceed with the demo, but let it go ahead anyway, despite having more draconian amti-Covid 19 measures in place than any other state.

The antisemitic and anti-Israel of sections of the Black Lives Matter movement is, of course, well-knowm, and in New York American activist Linda Sarsour, and Muslims in Brooklyn have shown their solidarity with the protests over the death of George Floyd.

It's all grist to the mill of anti-white racism. Moreover, we are accustomed to hear of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and there is in comparison little awareness of the enslavement and brutalisation of Africans by Muslim Arabs.  Yet, as a recent article by Larry Elder in the Toronto Star reminds us, quoting a Ghanaian scholar, John Azumah:

“While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Islamic slave trade. Two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims. While the mortality rate of the slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10 per cent, the percentage of the slaves dying in transit in the Tran-Saharan and East African slave market was a staggering 80 to 90 per cent.

While almost all the slaves shipped across the Atlantic were for agricultural work, most of the slaves destined for the Muslim Middle East were for sexual exploitation as concubines in harems and for military service. While many children were born to the slaves in the Americas, the millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the United States today. Very few descendants of the slaves who ended up in the Middle East survived. While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.

It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic, 95 percent of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions; only 5 per cent of the slaves ended up in what we call the United States today. However, a minimum of 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since at least 80 per cent of those captured by the Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from 1,400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been as high as 112 million.”

What a sad and sorry shambles these recent days have been and continue to be:
- For those of us who remember such events as:the American race riots of the 1960s, and the hope of a new dawn engendered by the Civil Rights Movement and the stance and oratory of Dr Martin Luther King;
For those of us who recall the tragic death of young Australian Jewish scholar Yankel Rosenbaum, so tragically killed amid racial tensions in Crown Heights in 2010;
For those of us who respect America and are grieved to see that country tear itself apart in the wake of the shocking needless death of George Floyd;
For those of us who love Israel and see the way that the enemies of Jews and Israel have been exploiting Mr Floyd's death for their own propaganda ends, as in the Washington protest pictured above, and in the targeting of synagogues in Los Angeles.

Much has been written on the antisemitism that lurks within sections of the Black Lives Matter movement and within Antifa, and about the lawlessness and looting that has erupted in many American cities (take a look at this video drive-through of Manhattan to see the incredible number of "high-end" stores that were victimised, cleaned out, and are now boarded up!)

In 2015 the superbly gifted and highly likeable young Afro-American bass-baritone Dashon Burton, he of the charismatic  presence and rich deep velvety tones, recorded Plain-Chant for America, a confronting piece that has assumed a fresh relevance now. 

If you have not yet discovered Mr Burton (whose former college roommate and other friends confirm in YouTube comments that he is every bit as kind-hearted and charming as online interviews with him suggest) the first place to make his acquaintance might be this beautiful and hauntingly poignant spiritual from his album Songs of Struggle & Redemption:

Known particularly as a performer of Baroque music, especially Bach and Handel, Mr Burton is very versatile, as his participation (2013) in Lori Laitman's Holocaust, 1944 shows:

And here's Mr Burton's triumphant rendering (2012) of Handel's rousing The Trumpet Shall Sound, a performance that clearly had many members of the choir enraptured:
