...Dignity And Respect And Love Unconditionally
Madonna stopped her Saturday concert in Stockholm, Sweden to pay tribute those who died in the “tragic killings†and “assassinations†in Paris on Friday night, but after crying for the victims and their families, she wrongly told the audience at the Tele2 Arena that while people do “atrocious, degrading and unforgivable things†to one another, among the reasons for these senseless acts of violence is that we don’t treat “every human being with dignity and respect.†Her view of terrorists, namely ISIS, is naive and downright foolish. See Madonna’s speech below.
Madonna started off in the right direction when she paused her performance and said, “I feel torn. Like, why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones,†before adding in tears, “However, that is exactly what these people want to do. They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won’t let them. We will never let them!â€
The singer, who’s set to perform in Paris on December 9, then said, “I was going to cancel my show tonight but then I thought to myself, ‘Why should I give that to them? Why should I allow them to stop me and to stop us from enjoying freedom?'†Before veering off course, Madonna rightly continued, “All of the places where people were killed were places where people were having fun. People were enjoying themselves, eating in restaurants, dancing, singing, watching a soccer match. These are freedoms that we take for granted, of course, and we must not but they’re freedoms that we deserve. We work hard and we deserve to have fun, and there is no one in this world that should have the right to stop us from doing what we love.â€
But after making a number of valid points, Madonna blew it big time. She first acknowledged, “There are people who have no respect for human life, and there are people that do atrocious, degrading and unforgivable things to other human beings, but we will never ever, ever change this world that we live in if we do not change ourselves, if we do not change the way that we treat one another on a daily basis.†Madonna then misguidedly added, “We must start treating every human being with dignity and respect, and this the only thing that will change the world… Only love will change the world, but it’s very hard to love unconditionally, and it’s very hard to love that which we do not understand or that which is different than we are, but we have to or this will go on and on forever.â€
While in broad brushstrokes, there’s no argument that spreading love and treating one another with “dignity and respect†will make for a better planet, but ISIS doesn’t play by those rules. ISIS detests our way of life. ISIS wants to wreak havoc of the Western world.
Does Madonna really think if we gave ISIS “love unconditionally†they would no longer perpetrate horrific acts of violence? And can Madonna really “love unconditionally†a group that beheads, throws over the sides of building, and stones to death men for being gay?
There was no act of love or kindness nor any show of dignity or respect that could have been done by the government of France or the 129 people who were murdered that would have changed ISIS’s resolve to kill and injure as many innocent people as possible. Perhaps those who are terrorized can learn to “love unconditionally,†but it will never sway the terrorists’ hate.
Following her mostly well-intentioned speech, Madonna then launched into her 1989 hit “Like A Prayer.†Sadly, though, it will take more than dignity, respect, love or even prayer to stop ISIS.
Watch the video below of Madonna addressing the audience in Sweden, and tell Gossip Cop what you think.
Well Dennis Rodman was kinda smart. He said after being with Madonna that he had had better. Just saying.
Even Dennis Rodman has standards.
The horrific legacy of Islamo-terrorism is a very long one. With lots and lots of examples like that. Mass killings that would make Mao and Pol Pot smile. So let's compare your list of who didn't respect who again? We'll clearly see that islamists are heartless, bloodthirsty ghouls. Demons that always prey upon unsuspecting innocents all the while thinking that that is their path to heaven.
Anyone who is not brain dead can come to the right conclusion when you honestly compare them to us. Madonna, you're just too full of $hit to see it.

I'm as interested in what Madonna says as much as I want to get a colonoscopy without the feel good juice...
Someone with the world-wide fame of Madonna is so insulated from the real world, and have been for so long, that she's lost contact with reality.
Movie Director (Clerks, Mall Rats) Kevin Smith has a hilarious video on YouTube where he talks about his interactions with Prince, and in talking about how out-of-touch with reality Prince was, he spoke about his dealings with one of Prince's "people," who explained that Prince wasn't making demands for things out of spite, he just doesn't understand why it can't be done. he said, "I might get a call at 3am in the middle of winter (in Minneapolis) with Prince saying he needs a camel right now (not a cigarette!). And he simply doesn't understand why you can't just deliver a camel to his studios at 3am in the middle of winder in Mn." It's just that having been surrounded by "yes-men" and sycophants for so long, they just don't understand the way the world works.
Just an explanation, not justification. But it makes them look really nuts.

And Climate change or global warming, or weather.......is making them do this.
Most people just have a sinus headache when the weather changes but ISIS needs to kill Christians and Jews.
These idiots just can’t bring themselves to condemn PC crowd
But whites, Christians, conservatives = root of all evil
According to Islamic law, it is permissible to have sex with a female BEFORE and AFTER BEHEADING her. Not only is it legal, it is expected. Bad odds for Vegas.
"But she never lost her head, even when she was giving......."
When Aaron Klein was schoozing with terrorists—which he tells about in Schmoozing with Terrorists—he said they knew NOTHING about any important cultural or historical figures in the West. But they all knew about Madonna, and said they couldn’t wait to saw her head off.
Madonna, being a religious illiterate, thinks her five-and-dime “spirituality” is the ticket. Warm, fuzzy, smarmy feelings. When she talks about “love,” those feelings are what she’s referring to.
It is grossly unfair and inaccurate to compare the Marxists now running Western Europe and North America to Neville Chamberlain.
Chamberlain was pursuing a policy of appeasement, based on the reality that England was unprepared to fight Hitler. Chamberlain was not in league with Hitler, and did not want Hitler to destroy England. The Marxists want Western Civilization—i.e., Judaism, Christianity, marriage, and all of Western culture—destroyed.
Obama and the rest of the Marxists are NOT “Neville Chamberlain.” They are Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mohammed, and Satan.
Madonna has body guards with guns, and they will kill those that wish her harm. She has never been shot at. I have been shot at.
I do not have body guards and thankfully was not hit. At that time I could not legally carry. Fortunately the laws have changed. I now carry anyplace it is legal. I will not be a victim.
Today I live outside of the city. I have a gun range in my backyard. I shoot there on a regular basis as do a few of my friends. A few neighbors also have gun ranges on their property. When I hear them shooting it comforts me.
I forgot to add that on occasion we hear gunfire that is a little different. Our first thought is someone has a new weapon and of course we go to see what they have. It is a good day, as we get to fire their new weapon.
This is Texas and that is just the way it is.
Madonna, they’d kill you so damn fast you wouldn’t know what hit you, you stupid, stupid little girl.
I call it
May I presume that you're including the media?
Maybe someone should explain to her:
Many of these terrorists WERE given jobs, education (along with government handouts). They dropped out of school. Many came from middle-class homes. They couldn’t work or mark anything of themselves. Either lack of character or intelligence, hard to tell which.
These people are evil losers. Period. Is she that daft?
i say let her go "negotiate" with the terrorists sans a hijab or a burqa and let her find out irst hand what animals she's dealing with as they thrw her to the ground andrape her then stone her to death. Idiot liberal bubble millionaires don't have a damn clue what they're dealing with...
> Translation: it’s our fault.
She’s just another rich, lurless white guilt liberal. Madonna just shut up and sing. If we ahve to listen to your political bs you should drop the ticket prices...
