Mark Steyn: Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be
Steyn Online ^ | 10/26/2015 | HarpyGoddess

Christian bakers have to bake gay wedding cakes, but Muslim truckers don't have to transport alcohol. Gotcha.

I'm sure Anthony Kennedy can explain it, but wouldn't it be quicker just to load America onto the truck and drive it off the cliff?

Then again, if you're a senior bureaucrat with the IRS and you regard conservatives as the spawn of Satan, you have complete freedom of conscience to screw them over as you wish.

~Every day the papers are full of stories that would have seemed extraordinary 20 years ago but are now depressingly routine. For example:

A rabbi and two of his congregants were stabbed outside a synagogue in Marseilles, France.

One of the victims in the Saturday-morning attack was stabbed several times in the abdomen and is in serious but not life-threatening condition, the French daily Le Figaro reported.

Police arrested the assailant, who shouted anti-Semitic epithets at the victims and reportedly was drunk at the time of the attack. According to Le Figaro, the assailant is known to local police and is considered mentally unstable.

Well, maybe. But he shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and "Itbah al-Yahud!" ("Kill the Jews!") So how exactly do you tell the difference between a "mentally unstable" "drunk" and a healthy, well-adjusted Jew-hating Muslim? Ask Germany's "security experts":

Germany's security experts have rounded on the country's leader, Chancellor Angela Merkel, warning that her immigration policy will "produce extremists", and stating that the country is importing "Islamist extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, [and] national and ethnic conflicts of other nations".

For the most part, the Continental media are content to downplay stabbed Jews. But what happens when all the Jews are dead or fled, and there's no one left to stab but Pierre and Fritz?

“Palilalia” is a psychological disorder, sometimes caused by genetic abnormalities, where one is prone to repeating coherent phrases compulsively, though able to otherwise communicate normally when necessary.
I’d like others to take note of the malady and identify those possibly suffering from it (which I’ve noticed quite a lot lately on certain YouTube videos, among other reported events).

murkel is destroying Germany. She is completely and totally responsible for the swarming masses of invading savages that are about to devastate her country.

It sounds like you are describing rap music.

I’m describing the possibly pathological overuse of the phrase “Allahu Akbar!” by a category of violent fanatics. I’ve been watching YouTube videos made by ISIS et so, and am struck by how they keep repeating the phrase incessantly - as though it’s not from some rational devotion or based on some cultural axiom, but as though there really is a genuine documented mental illness involved. I finally discovered the term “palilalia” which perfectly describes the malady: the coherent compulsive continuing repetition of a phrase while still able to otherwise converse normally - it is a documented mental illness due to, among other possible causes, genetic abnormality.

Inbreeding perhaps?
