The great Nidra Poller, writing in Frontpage (thanks to EPG):
October 2000, Place de la République in Paris: the first of what would become an endless series of ambiguous pro-Palestinian demonstrations welcomed the snake of anti-Semitism into its heart. "Death to the Jews" rang out loud and clear that day as policemen stood by, journalists watched with apparent indifference, and the mass of demonstrators thronged and thrust as demonstrators do.8 March 2005, Place de la République: a thousand young toughs pierced the heart of a student demonstration and unleashed their rage, not against the police but against the "privileged classes" in their own age group--the protesting lycée students. Operating in gangs of ten and twenty, the casseurs (smashers) in brand-name sweat suits swept through the march like pirate ships, zeroed in on their prey, attacked from behind. They threw kids to the ground, gratuitously beating and kicking them, snatching handbags, ipods, wallets, and cell phones. Riot police looking like robots with their thick leather padding stood by as the predators cut through the crowd wielding knives, clubs, and tear gas bombs....
Read it all.
Was it just yesterday that the jeunesse, doree or argentee, of Paris was walking along, bras- dessous bras-dessus, in those marches of solidarity designed to express touching touche-pas-a-mon-pote (hands off my pal) sentiments, mainly on behalf of Muslims, seen just yesterday as so unjustly resented, so unfairly maligned, regarded so unjustly with suspicion (but only, bien entendu, by the petty poujadistes, and the incurably troglodytic) so in need of an expression of fellow-feeling and sympathy. And that fellow-feeling and sympathy flowed, and flowed.
And now that "pote" is back in the hundreds and thousands, ready to roll and packing, if not heat, then a knife or a bludgeon or a machete or two, and eager to have a little fun with the spoiled young Infidel Parisians, who naturally deserve whatever they get (for being better-off and better educated, worrying about little things like the watered-down baccalaureat, and of course, for being non-Muslims and hence the enemy). And those young French people may have been surprised, and have tried to figure it out, but Le Monde won't help, and Canal Cinq won't help, and Dominique de Villepin won't help them make sense. So naturally they still don't quite understand the significance of what happened to them, or where they, and France, have gone wrong.
But they will.
How do you spell schadenfreude again? It couldn't happen to nicer people.
Surely, they also deserved what they got for just being white. Naturally, the PC lot will feverishly deny that any such sentiment was present. And the longer this is denied, the more this virus will grow.
It is spelled "Schadenfreude", JohnB ;-)
Interesting. When I post links to these very articles, kj, giaour and company trash them out of hand.
The very same articles show up here by way of Mr. Spencer himself... and not a word is heard from either of those two.
Curious how the very articles I read and post to this site each morning, are precisely the kind of thing Mr. Spencer feels Everyone should be reading.
More or less. I don't wish to second-guess our host.
Now the question comes down to: why do giour, kj and company feel that these very articles / situations, are not worth informing the general public about?
Let's say, at the very least, President Bush is part of the problem by way of not knowing what he is talking about. (House of Saud, according to at least a few others posting here such as Waterdragon, has already been soundly discredited).
Fine. He may (but more like may not) be selling us out- but the Academia are Indoctrinating our students in the very thing we are fighting against!
I'd really like to know from either of you- giaour, kj- why these articles should NOT be seen by the general public? Why is it neccesary to keep them ignorant of what their own children are being brainwashed into believing?
Gary - "soft" jihad is education, Da'wa, economics, and so on. It is more dangerous than the terrorists' bombs. It's frustrating to know how few recognize the danger.
Islam's relentless and murderous pogroms of the Jews, per commands for actual extermination of Jews and Judaism issued in the Qur'an (supposedly by Muhammed) reveal its origins as an ancient human sacrifice cult and NOT an Abrahamic faith.
The Jews worship a deity that has outlawed killing for anything other than self-defense. The same goes for bodily harm against another human being (if with less emphasis). Now WHY would anyone wish to exterminate people who possess beliefs that protect human life?
First we must ask WHAT does Islam have to gain by practicing maiming and slaughtering human beings (especially those who believe that this is wrong?). And why would protecting human beings from physical injury and seemingly unnecessary death (aka 'murder'?)arouse such violence and warfare in these people? Yes, we are aware of the supposed commands of Al-lah's to kill infidels, and that is the point too... WHY would al-lah utter such a command in the first place? Is al-lah a people-eater??
Give up?
The command from Yahweh "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" directly undermines the practice of offering (and killing) human beings as sacrifices to a deity.
The Arabs, wouldn't you know, have been offering human beings (by killing them brutally as did the Aztecs and Mayans, and also the Irish and Babylonians) for thousands of years. The commands of Yahweh, the Judeo-Christian deity, to protect human life undermine the Arabs' 'civilization' (for want of a better word) of killing people to please Marduk aka Baal aka al-lah, thereby indicating the likely original source of Arab ('islamic') enmity towards Jews, Christians and other religious denominations that conflict with human sacrifice.
Yes, it would seem that the Islamic deity, al-lah aka Baal aka marduk IS a people-eater and the Muslims must (as their ancestors from across the Middle East have done for thousands of years) continue to feed it human flesh. That is why infidels and enemies of Islam exist....they exist as food for a deity that wears the mask of Yahweh---but couldn't be further from it.
And this is the wise, mature Yurrupp that our Northeastern elites want us to emulate?
Question: do those young lycee students still believe in Rousseau's doctrine of the basic goodness of man?
That is a bold lie Gary, pure slander.
Gary you are an infantile arse. How can I defend myself against slanderous charges such as the above.
I do not dismiss those articles out of hand.
Damn it child, I'm a better anti Jihadi than you are, I have battle scars with Musims, neo NAZI's and leftist dhimmi's to prove it. You on the other hand pontificate to the choir, from a safe place at that.
You fall into the childish Manichean mindset that if I ain't with you, I'm against you. I am NOT a leftist, just because I find your muslim like act dangerous and offensive, doesn't mean that I am sympathetic to the other extremis on the left.
I answered such another spurious insulting charge pf yours Here
I am a secularist true, I am a social liberal true, but within reason, however I am not a hidebound, intransigent, eat up, blinded by rage ideologue like you.
You really need to grow up, put down your playstation and fantasy games, and get in touch with the real world, learn some social skills while at it. Apparently your parents never disciplined you. You Millenials are your own worst enemies.
You need allies Gary, not more enemies, but the way you and The Right go about it, you slap down allies and go out of your way to create enemies, do you have a suicide wish like the Muslims, there are plenty of death cult Muslims ready to accomdate death wish Christians.
The same old Sartre-ian silliness, protesting everything, without a counter-proposal, just to be avante garde and au contraire. That "No" painted on their foreheads [mentioned deeper in the story] reminds me of a line Marlon Brando mumbled in "The Wild One" when a girl asked what he was revolting against: "What you got?"
A pity Camus died young in a car crash and evidently isn't as well grasped as the wall-eyed communist still seems to be. Albert C. taught that moral responsibility required noble restraint. A word that is gone from the French street vocabulary. (Since the Reign of Terror, if not 1848.)
To the 'lycee' student level of thinking, this is all supposed to remain in an 'opera bouffe' realm (a human Punch and Judy Show), and no one really gets hurt during these routine 'demonstrations'... except the evil capitalist oppressors... who run those tempting shops with the big breakable plate glass windows. As the crowds shout:
"Ecrasez Le Big Mac!" (CRUSH THE BIG MAC!)
I can only hope this shock and pain rouses a few from their EU dreams of a short-cut to universal brotherhood. Attempting to avoid the hard work of building shared beliefs and mutual respect.
But these world-class minds would probably reply:
"La mort a la souris de Mickey!"
(Death to Mickey Mouse!)
Rather than admit the Eurabian threat they face.
It'll hit them again and again. And one day they may finally cry:
"Expulsez-les tous a Mecque!"
(Deport them all to Mecca!)
You really need to grow up, put down your playstation and fantasy games, and get in touch with the real world, learn some social skills while at it. Apparently your parents never disciplined you. You Millenials are your own worst enemies.~giaour
Wow. Keep packing in the fallacious fantasies about myself and others, giaour. Just don't be surprised when the bubble bursts.
