Hollande Daze ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 10 Jan 2015 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 01/10/2015 2:51:46 AM PST by Rummyfan

The French authorities killed three murderous savages yesterday. That was the only good news on a day in which a third hostage siege began in Montpellier. The bad news started at the top, with President Hollande's statement after the Charlie Hebdo slaughter and the Kosher grocery siege:

Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion.

Yeah, right. I would use my standard line on these occasions - "Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here" - but it's not quite as funny when the streets are full of cowards, phonies and opportunists waving candles and pencils and chanting "Je suis Charlie." Because if you really were Charlie, if you really were one of the 17 Frenchmen and women slaughtered in the name of Allah in little more than 48 hours, you'd utterly despise a man who could stand up in public and utter those words.

Why is it that the politicians all rush to defend Islam? Is Saidi Arabia paying that many people?

Maybe the National Front will make Hollande eat his words.

The National Front picked up another ten to fifteen percent of voters for the national polls this week. They know it too. Right now though....elections at the national level are three years away. But regional elections could go heavily for them in the remaining time, and make national politics more interesting.

I will say that sincd 911 I have expressly voiced my stance of hating Muslims.

I point out their group think and they alone are at war with the world.

Jews? Sure, they hate em and want to see them destroyed. That is: They want every last “Monkey” dead and to eradicate every vestige and artifact of their existence on this earth.

That alone ought to bring sensible people to the realization that if they want to rail against “The Crusades” and how unfair it was then surely they would find the Muslim intent, in modernity and real time, equally offensive.

Yet, I have been called every name under the sun. Fine. I can’t do anything more than be a voice of influence.

Hence, I take to pointing out their cancer on the body called humanity.

Finally, after so many years, they are coming around to a certain reality and indeed, reality itself has confronted them, challenging their sense of fairness and treating everyone equally.

Most have suddenly begun expressing shock, horror and oain to learn of each innocent death.

Should women be treated as chattel and slaves? Where they once ignored the question they now recoil at the Muslim law of Sharia.

Should Christians be killed for worshipping the almighty God? Uniformly, they say “No. No Christian should be forced into a life that is marginalized and they shouldn’t be put to the sword for not being a part of some murderous group demanding renouncement and fealty.

Children? They can’t fathom the innocents losing their lives and future for an intolerant belief.

They kill dogs too? For no reason we understand? That’s just wrong.

Can they ignore the wholesale slaughter in France? At one time they could but, their hearts and conscience can no longer accept that a religion can be so cruel, so crazy.

At what point in Islam history have they ever been a good and just people? Near as I can tell, from day one of their cult, they have been unable to get along with the rest of the world.

Have they finally come around to my viewpoint? Not the visceral level that I never waiver from but, they no longer accept that someone, in fact, 1 billion of them could kill a person, a human being who has a name, a vocation, common interests, parents, brothers and sisters for being gay.

Are there good and decent Muslims? Not enough to make a difference and there are just no voices breaking through saying “I don’t believe what they believe. I want to raise my family and worship my Allah, not bother anyone for being different and I have so many friends of various beliefs and differing opinions”.

My friends now recognize that none of us have Muslim friends and they are self segregated, associating only with other Muslims.

My friends now understand Muslims are nothing like them.

They now understand Muslims want nothing to do with the world at large, except for self serving expediency.

Fk Allah. My words for sure but, that my friends have changed their opinion of Allah worshippers is enough.

It is incredible that people, even on FR, believe political correctness, the great muslim shield, can be defeated/destroyed. No chance.

Citizens will have to fight their government before they can take on the vermin.

I believe these radical Muslims are a product of the extravagant petroleum wealth accumulated over the last five decades. The Oil Shale technology could possibly change all that. For the first time since WWI we are in a unique position to go it alone WITHOUT Mideast oil. A world wide boycott of their only source of wealth would return them to a backwater state of insignificance.

Bravo, Mark Steyn! How weak and tawdry the bulk of US journalists are compared to you.

Arm up, head for the range, practice defensive shooting.

We “infidels” should send a message: “You want a holy war, Muslim? You’ve got it. Now watch your @zz.”

Sick of the candles & the kumbaya and the self-censorship!

“The Oil Shale technology could possibly change all that.”
And they are trying to make sure those guys go bankrupt, by lowering the price of oil!
