Dan, Da'awa & Dhimmitude (video)

Ever get the feeling that western "multiculturalism" is turning rapidly into a one-way street?

That the agenda is increasingly moved by and in the interests of one faith supremacist socio-political ideology and one faith supremacist socio-political ideology alone?

That, if you have two X chromosomes rather than XY, you are becoming more and more disenfranchised by those who should be defending your interests?

A sacrificial woman, in fact?

An Australian progressive synagogue with a female assistant rabbi invites the recitation of Islamic prayers in its sacred space, stupidly unaware that  the recitations are insulting and that the (male, naturellement) reciters are da'awa activists playing their hosts for fools.

The Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, the nice but naive Ephraim Mirvis, calls on Jewish schools to teach another faith: the faith supremacist socio-political ideology he has prescribed is Islam.

The Austrian president, Green leftist Alexander Bellen, disgracefully proclaims that in the fight against "islamophobia" the day might come when "we will have to ask all women to wear the hijab"!

In the Australian state of Victoria, the ALP (Labor) government of Daniel Andrews pours taxpayers' money into countering Islamophobia (warning: video may cause high blood pressure in the politically incorrect rationally worried):

btw, I stumbled across this oldie but goody and thought I'd post it for the edification of anyone else who failed to see it at the time.

"The veil is just another firm of mask": good on (former) BBC newsreader Peter Sissons for exposing, if not her bare face, than at least the barefaced duplicity of this woman back in 2008.

With her face uncovered she went for a job at a Church of England school in the UK and having been interviewed, by a man as well as a woman, she was employed.

However, when she started work, she astounded her new employers (and probably scared the kids!) by turning up in this Darth Vader-like garment. She then refused to remove it, arguing that no man there must see her face!

A delicious interview, in which the woman, playing the infidel-versus-Muslim victim card, is egregiously evasive, even asking at one point whether she must answer the question.

Ah! But then Mr Sissons is of the honourable scrupulously objective old school of BBC staff, and has, regrettably, long since retired.

Stepping Back from the Precipice ... & Towards It

A good (and my favourite) working definition of a Conservative, first encountered by me many many moons ago as a poli sci student dipping into a British book of readings on the subject, is someone who steps back when they find a precipice at their feet.

Some of us are conservatives by instinct.  Others learn to be so by experience.

One of the latter, to whom I suppose the term "mugged liberal" applies, is the man in this new PragerU.com video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiVQ8vrGA_8):

                                      
To quote the uploader:

"Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report used to be a big progressive. He even had a show with The Young Turks! But now he's not a progressive. He has left the left. Why? Dave Rubin shares his story."  Donate today to PragerU: http://l.prageru.com/2eB2p0h

Some, by contrast, seem hell-bent on opening up that precipice and falling right in, taking all that they should hold dear along with them.

British blogger Edgar Davidson gives an example of potential precipice plungers:

"Truth & Liberty Are Stronger Than You, & So Am I" (videos)

A Dutchman defies his demonisers.  Geert Wilders on his persecution by the "multicultural political elite":

A few days ago, at a migrant centre in Holland:

(Hat tip: Vlad Tepes blog)


Points from a must-read by the Gatestone Institute's Giulio Meotti:

'On December 9, for the first time in Dutch history, a court criminalized freedom of expression: The truly heroic Dutch Member of Parliament, Geert Wilders, was found guilty of the "crime" of "hate speech."

The death sentence against Salman Rushdie in 1989 by Iran's supreme leader looked unreal. The West did not take it seriously. Since then, however, this fatwa has been assimilated to such an extent that today's threats to free speech come from ourselves. It is now the West that put on trial writers and journalists.

The Red Brigades, the Communist terror group which devastated Italy in the 1970s, coined a slogan: "Strike one to educate one hundred." If you target one, you get collective intimidation. This is exactly the effect of these political trials about Islam.

 "Hate speech" has become a political weapon to dispatch whoever may not agree with you. It is not the right of a democracy to quibble about the content of articles or cartoons. In the West, we paid a high price for the freedom to write them and and read them. It is not up to those who govern to grant the right of thought and speech.

 In Europe now, the same iron curtain as in the Soviet era is descending.'  [Emphasis added]

A Blight of Ostriches

 The Ostrich in Rome's Pope's denial that Islam is not engaged in a religious war with the West has of course been received with delight by weaklings, quislings, and fellow-ostriches everywhere.

His assertion that

"It's not right to identify Islam with violence. It's not right and it's not true. I believe that in every religion there is always a little fundamentalist group....If I speak of Islamic violence, then I have to speak of Catholic violence"

has, as the BBC reports (the approval of his remarks by the leftist  broadcaster being, nonetheless, almost tangible, in its counter-examples), outraged many members of said Ostrich's Pope's own flock, with the hashtag #PasMonPape trending in the land where the aged Father Jacques Hamel was mercilessly done to death last week.

Unimpressed by his interpretation of the present conflict, the boys from Isis have issued a blunt message for His Holiness, though given his proclivities, it's unlikely to stop him turning a blind eye as well as the other cheek.

This foolish, dangerous man seems unwittingly bent on making the requiem for Father Jacques the requiem for us all.

(Update: Don't miss Professor Denis MacEoin's new article "The Pope and Holy War" here)

And of course the Pope is not the only opinion leader in the West, clerical or lay, who refuses to see the enemy, much less see the enemy's designs for what they are.

Contrast this proudly straight-talking guy regarding the future of Europe!

The anti-Trump brigade will (try to) have a field day with this!

Meanwhile, re Hillary...

Important message:

Support the Gatestone Institute (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/contribute.php): 

"What is the response of the American and European leadership to our new reality? Denial, word games and silence. And verbal attacks on citizens who insist on talking openly about the threats we face. They call us "Islamophobic," "xenophobic," or "racist" to try to silence us....Western governments have been successfully working with social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft to censor what they call "hate speech" – meaning any criticism of extremist Islam and illegal mass migration.In some European countries, the police are interrogating citizens for social media posts that are critical of the effects of unchecked migration.At a time when Facebook has censored, blocked or removed Gatestone's material, we refuse to be silenced; we continue to publish our carefully researched, accurate articles and video productions."

Joined At The Navel: The ABC BBC of it

Yesterday, in the wake of yet another Islamic atrocity (the Nice tragedy), conservative Australian columnist Andrew Bolt wrote an article in the Herald-Sun which caught the fancy of an Australian television personality named Sonia Kruger (see my previous post).

Note how the BBC has chosen to report this Aussie incident, giving emphasis to Ms Kruger's critics and deriders of her "as a mother" remark in explaining how Islamic terror worries her.   Some examples from the report:

(Who's Pickering? Oh, some comedian or other.)

Hanson-Young is a Greens senator of whom the ABC is inordinately fond, as indicated by the vast amounts of airtime its new bulletins give her to deride the nation's "turn back the boats" policy and other issues connected with asylum:

Among the critics of Ms Kruger highlighted by the BBC,  a discordant voice:

I should have thought that being a mother, and therefore having a stake in the future of this country and what kind of place it will be for her child[ren] makes a mother a very qualified person indeed.

But the opportunity to mock (and demonise) was, after all, the only reason the Corporation, awash with Islamophile leftists, reported the story in the first place, wasn't it?

I'm correct, aren't I, Jon Donnison (here spoon-feeding the not-to-be-trusted viewing public with a propaganda-laden tweet of his own)?:

In the same vein, the Facebook page of QandA, the ABC's equivalent to the BBC's Question Time  (yesterday's show here), is full of leftist partisanship, and its studio audience similarly stacked.

As always, the terrible twosome are in a three-way relationship, the Guardian being their partner in bias.  But at least the Guardian can claim entitlement to vent its propaganda: the ABC and the BBC cannot, since they are public broadcasters financed by the taxpayer.  And obligated by their charters to be objective.

No Imperialism or Islamophobia Please: We're Leftists

BDSer Associate Professor Jake Lynch has been talking to the Aussie Green Left Weekly about his reportedly troubled Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at Sydney University.

Meanwhile (in contrast to the good sense expressed by conservative columnist Andrew Bolt here and here), in an article entitled "Blame Hate, Not Islam: Europe's Left responds to terror attacks," the Aussie Green Left has been quick to defend the Religion of Peace following the Islamic terror attacks in Brussels, and to take a little swipe at the Zionist Entity in the process.

Inter alia, it tells readers:

'Grassroots groups across Europe are warning against succumbing to misguided and bigoted speech in the wake of the latest terrorist atrocity in Belgium.

Reacting to the terror attacks in Brussels on March 22, an Israeli state official echoed the typical narrative conflating Islam and terrorism, and the idea of a clash of a civilisation.

"This is a Third World War against our common values," Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said, according to the Jerusalem Post. "Terrorism must unite Western countries to unite for a determined, creative, and uncompromising fight against its origins, funders, and operators." Western culture is under attack from extremist Islamic terrorism, which is relentless and indiscriminate, Ya'alon added.

In Europe, calls for increasing security and tightening borders pushed anti-racist groups to issue both condolences and warnings against Islamophia amid the sorrow... 

Brushing away heated polemic, some groups instead opted for a sober anti-imperialist analysis...

Islamophobic comments flooded social media following the attacks, with #StopIslam trending on Twitter in major European countries including Belgium, France, Turkey, Germany, Britain and the Netherlands..."

More on the same theme from CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations), in an article entitled "While Brussels aches, Muslims brace for another round of Islamophobia":

De Nile is in Seine (video)

This long video is a must-see/hear, after reading my previous post.

It illustrates in microcosm "an enormous political agenda at work" among lefty political elites and, in interviews with liberal and Muslim Parisians regarding the recent atrocities, includes this misguided guy:

This was January:

And now?

Brilliant.

Tick Tock! "A Muslim Extremist & A Wannabe Kardashian"

This article (hat tip: reader P), like this video featuring Canadian broadcaster Ezra Levant (www.the rebel.media), effectively beats the clock!

You know which clock, the one that had the lefty Islamophiles from the bloke in the White House through Hillary Clinton through Mark Zuckerberg through Ellen De Generes through the wet media salaaming with admiration and/or giving lots of free stuff away and reminding the rest of us of the tom foolery and unacceptability of that inexplicable invention dubbed "Islamophobia"...
