Terrible
news: even the good news is bad.
But
let’s start with the good news. The Daily Telegraph reports that “Muslims have
taken to Twitter to show support for Parisians”. In a piece clearly designed to
reassure its readers about our fastest growing demographic the Telegraph
provides us with a range of sympathetic Muslim tweets on the mass murders in
Paris.
Here’s
a representative sample:
I am a Muslim and I felt so sorry for the loss of
People in Paris. #MuslimsAreNotTerorist #ParisAttacks
My name is Salman Shafeek! I am a
muslim but I condemn the paris attack #MuslimsAreNotTerorist #ParisAttacks #GazaUnderAttacks #SaveHumanitypiece
No matter what everyone
says. I AM A PROUD MUSLIM. Because i know my religion is one of peace. AND I
CONDEMN THE ATTACKS IN PARIS.
My name is Lina. I am a
Muslim. I condemn the Paris terrorist attacks. Over 1.8 billion Muslims do. #MuslimsAreNotTerrorist
“Whoever kills an innocent person it is as if he has
killed all of the humanity.” - Quran 5:32
I am Muslim. I WON'T apologize for something im not
responsible for. #Terrorism has no religion. THIS is my religion
And
my summary of their sentiments:
·
They are sad about the attack
·
The attacks and ISIS have nothing to
do with Islam.
·
All Muslims or at least 99.9% oppose
terrorism and ISIS.
·
The Koran specifically opposes
attacks on the innocent.
·
They are all very proud Muslims.
The
terrible news for us non-Muslims is that of the 21 tweeters quoted, not a
single one had learned anything useful from this despicable crime committed in
the name of their faith. They show not even the slightest awareness that Islam
should change in any way. In short that there is nothing wrong with: infidel
slaying, gay killing, execution of apostates, women’s inferiority, wife
beating, arm chopping, leg chopping, not befriending infidels, rape of captured
women, lying to infidels, etc, etc… All of which feature prominently in the Koran
and the hadith (traditions of the prophet).
This
is bad enough until you realize that the Telegraph journo was a little
selective in the Muslim voices she chose. Helena Horton
only features the views of what are known as “moderate” Muslims. These are, of course, the
great white hope. These are the Muslims that are supposed to drag Islam kicking
and screaming into the twenty first century, although I think a lot of us would settle for the nineteenth. But these so called moderate Muslims might better be termed squeamish Muslims. They obviously accept that rape, murder and mutilation are part of their religion but are relieved to outsource it to their more aggressive and sadistic co-religionists while they get on with enjoying the benefits of living in a western society.
That’s
terrible news.
Why do these journolists only use tweets that they agree with? Is there a political agenda at play? /sarc.
ReplyDeleteShe cannot have missed the thousands of tweets from Muslims also saying that they are delighted at the massacre in Paris, will take over the west, enslave and kill the men and use our women as sex slaves?
How can they possibly scour twitter for Islamic tweets and miss so many of the Jihadist's tweets?
I don't think there's a simple explanation. Part of it is an attempt to portray the world as it should be, or how multicultural liberals think it should be. I think it's also a mindset. They simply cannot conceive that Islam is a supremacist ideology that breeds bigots by the million. And of course it's also an deliberate attempt to influence people by distorting the truth. Liberals don't generally have a high opinion of what they think of as ordinary people. Beyond that it's also group think and the fact that Helena Horton would be fired for telling the truth on this issue. And, of course, telling the truth is also against the law.
Deletehmmm. strange
ReplyDeleteThen as a stranger give it welcome
DeleteIn any case it was Mulsim religion that begot this ferocious terrorist. None of God's messengers act like this! It is a real shame for the Muslims and their supporters!
ReplyDeleteThey obviously don't feel shame about it.
ReplyDeleteThe terrible news for us who don't want a nuclear incident is that apart from few exceptions not a single policy maker has learned anything useful from this despicable crime committed in Paris. They show not even the slightest awareness that America should change in any way. In short that there is nothing wrong with: leading coup against democratically elected govt in Iran 1953 then support for corrupt and brutal Shah, funding Israel with military support $100 billion cf nothing for Palestine, blocking Palestinian state membership of UN, invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, military action to overthrow Gaddafi with disastrous outcome, disastrous intervention in Vietnam and Indo-China, sanctions against Iraq 1990s led to 100 000s of dead Iraqi children, causing deaths of millions in its wars of invasions, inspiring and allowing ISIS to grow and spread, creating millions of refugees and internally displaced, etc, etc… All of which feature prominently in current American foreign policy i.e.. lets continue to fight more with Arabs and others, be involved in more wars. As if this will not inspire more terrorists to attack the west in increasing numbers.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with the comments about Islam, but if you stick your finger in a Hornets Nest you will get stung.
Pecker, Muslims have been attacking and subjugating non-Muslims for fourteen hundred years, long before the USA or Israel came into existence.
ReplyDelete"When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger."
Qur'an 8;!2
"Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them)."
Bukhari (4.52.220)
Hardly spiritual messages, are they?
There are no "squeamish muslims", only patient ones.
ReplyDeleteThey will outbreed us and then you can look out.
Why did labour increase it's majority in Oldham?
The muslim vote.
Why is Corbyn against bombing Syria?
The muslim vote.
Why are certain MPs against bombing Syria?
The Muslim vote.
These people will do anything to stay in power.
Even if it means the destruction of our culture a few years down the line.
If we had anything other than a first past the post system, there'd be a Muslim party in the HoC right now agitating for sharia law.
Of course, the moment they got it, democracy would be closed down.
And no going back.
