Brussels Represents Utopia to the Left, as They Remain in Denial About the Danger of Radical Islam

RUSH: You remember last week, folks, after the Brussels terror attack I spent significant time here on the EIB Network explaining to you just what it was about Brussels being attacked that has so shocked, frightened, scared the left. That Brussels, Belgium, represents the potential utopia in Europe. Little did I know how right I was. You know, my instincts are always right on the money, but on this one, man, there's even much more, and I can't wait to get into it because what it is, is yet another lesson in a never-ending series of lessons to liberalism and the destructive nature it is.

Greetings. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh here behind the Golden EIB Microphone. The telephone number is 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. Hope you had a great Easter. I hope you had a great weekend. I had some time to recharge. Voice is a little bit better today, so we're rocking and rolling and ready to go.

The New York Times in a piece that ran, I guess it's today: "Who Will Become a Terrorist? Research Yields Few Clues." Do you believe this? The New York Times has been looking into who it is that becomes terrorist, and there's no way to know. There's no way to tell. It's impossible to ascertain, in advance, who is going to become a terrorist. Right there it is in the New York Times.

"The brothers who carried out suicide bombings in Brussels last week had long, violent criminal records and had been regarded internationally as potential terrorists. But in San Bernardino, Calif., last year, one of the attackers was a county health inspector who lived a life of apparent suburban normality. And then there are the dozens of other young American men and women who have been arrested over the past year for trying to help the Islamic State. Their backgrounds are so diverse that they defy a single profile."

Really? (laughing) They defy a single profile? They defy a single profile! They didn't have one thing in common. The San Bernardino Two, the Brussels, Belgium, brothers, the ISIS infiltrators, Americans that joined, not one thing in common, not one. And even if there were, the New York Times wouldn't sit by and let 'em be profiled anyway.

I have never seen such a scapegoat story. This is such a brazen attempt to deflect and focus attention away from the obvious. It's serious. It's laughable at the same time, but it really makes you question the motivation here of the New York Times. And then here's an interesting website that we came across called TheReligionOfPeace.com. You know what this site does? This site lists acts of terror and the number of people dead and wounded in list format, much like the Drive-Bys report casualties and warfare, much like the Drive-Bys report the death count in any other criminal endeavor, but they never do it for terrorism. You get newspaper stories, the website publishes stories of the details contained within paragraphs, but you never see the death toll, you never see the names, the counts, and the incidents.

And they've done it here, a list of Islamic terror in the last 30 days. Would you like the numbers? Just to give you an idea. This is part of the list of the Islamic terrorist attacks that TheReligionOfPeace.com website maintains. During this time period, the past 30 days, there were 147 Islamic attacks in 25 countries in which 1,165 people were killed and 3,221 injured.

Now, how many of you thought that the only terror attack that took place in the last 30 days was Brussels? Or maybe you heard about one in Jakarta, but no way do you think that there have been 147 of them, and no way do you think that happened in 25 different countries, and no way do you think that 1,165 people have be killed, 3,221 injured. And we'll link to it at RushLimbaugh.com, TheReligionOfPeace.com. Our guys will find it without me sending them the link. Some of the countries...

It's an astounding list, and when you juxtapose this with the New York Times piece: "Who Will Become a Terrorist? Research Yields Few Clues." (laughing) I mean, it's stunning. Okay.

On to some other matters before we get back to the Brussels piece. Amir Taheri had just a brilliant, brilliant column in the New York Post yesterday that I need to impart some of the highlights, some of the excerpts, because again, what do we do here every day? In addition to being America's Real Anchorman, I simply report the news, all of it, and give you aspects of it and angles that you don't get in the Drive-By Media, or maybe in any other place. We don't do topics here. We don't do causes. We don't do guests. We just do the news of the day related to how I can use it to inform people what I believe and what I believe to be right.

I believe that liberalism and all of its offshoots -- communism, socialism, you name it, fascism, yes, fascism is on the left, in the circle. It's not a straight line, of course. All of these things are the most destructive forces under the banner of liberalism. You could put under the banner of socialism or communism if you want it. I prefer liberalism. Gotta be careful, though, 'cause I don't want people, "Ah, here goes Limbaugh again on liberalism," and get bored. I hope that doesn't happen, because it's too crucial.

RUSH: The Amir Taheri piece in the New York Post yesterday, that liberalism, liberalism, multiculturalism is what led to Brussels. And even now there are people in Brussels and people in the European Union trying to blame it on right-wing zoophobia. In other words, people in Brussels and Europe are trying to blame people like you and me, folks. You know why? Because we're so racist and bigoted against militant Islamists that we are so xenophobic that we're making them mad and we are hurting their feelings, and this is why they're lashing out.

That's not why Brussels happened. Brussels happened because Europe gave up its sovereignty. Europe stopped controlling its borders, Europe let in all manner of immigrants but never required any of them to assimilate. Belgium is a classic illustration and example. Belgium was a country that was established out of three different peoples, three different languages, as a buffer between Germany and France. It never did really have a cultural identity. Well, it did. That's the point. It did have the basics of one, and it's vanished now, as immigrants are not required in any of these European countries. Denmark is changing on this score, by the way, to assimilate and become a member of the culture of the country that you're emigrating to.

RUSH: I want to get into this Amir Taheri column that ran in the New York Post yesterday. Headline: "Brussels Is What Happens When Liberals Don't Push Immigrants to Integrate." But that headline doesn't even cover the main thrust of this piece. I'm gonna do something very rare. I'm going to tell you what this column says before reading the excerpts. I'm gonna give you just a bit of analysis, 'cause it's a long piece. It prints out... I'm not gonna read the whole thing. It prints out to over nine pages. It's a very, very in-depth piece. It is a brilliant piece. Mr. Taheri even focuses on -- even gets to -- the fundamental problem.

It's not just that you cannot have peace if you import and immigrate a bunch of assimilate resistant ideologically driven people. It's not enough. You can't... In other words, if that's all you do, you still have a fighting chance to save your country. If you're gonna openly allow people to emigrate to your country who are not going to assimilate -- and we have been doing that. We have not been requiring assimilation. That's a stark difference between the immigration of today and the immigration prior to 1986. Immigration prior to 1986 all the way up to the late 1800s and the 1965 act, assimilation was why they came.

They wanted to become Americans. They wanted to be part of what was a distinct and unique American culture that contained elements of the American dream, which didn't exist anywhere else in the world. Yes, they might have lived together, formed basic neighborhoods -- the Italian, the Irish -- and they kept their identities. But they became Americans, proudly so. They learned English, for example. They did everything they could to let everybody know they were Americans. And that hasn't been happening since 1986. The immigration since, there hasn't been that.

We've been doing the opposite of assimilation. We've been allowing immigrants to maintain their national language, and printing signs and everything in public in three or four or however many different languages are necessary. We have not required, we have not forced immigrants to learn English, and without that, there is no way they can become part of the American culture. But the second half of this is the left -- the Democrat Party, however you want to characterize it -- their war, the war that they are conducting on the values and principles that have defined America is erasing the culture anyway.

It's a two-prong problem, and this is fundamental to understand what happened to Brussels. You know the 19 hijackers, many of them were headquartered in Brussels, some in Hamburg. Brussels has long been a terrorist safe haven. This column goes on to explain why. But the point here is that liberalism -- and by Obama's own admission, his objective is to fundamentally transform America. That means erase the institutions and traditions that have defined greatness in the culture. Erase it and replace it. And we're in the process of doing it now.

You see what's happening in North Carolina and Georgia just recently with transgender bathrooms and the NFL and so forth, threatening these states economically that if you pass legislation that requires men to use the men's room and women to use the women's room, we're not gonna bring the Super Bowl! I mean, there is an all-out war on the American culture, and it's been going on for a long time, and it's brought to you by the Democrat Party. It's brought to you by the left. So when you combine immigration that is not required to assimilate, because you're in the process of destroying the culture anyway, well, hello?

That's exactly what happened to Brussels and is what is happening in the United States.

The left's war on our principles and values is erasing the culture this country was founded with. It's erasing the culture you and I want immigrants to assimilate into. It's being done purposefully. Belgium should not even exist. Belgium has never been a real country, which I will explain in a moment. It was created in the postwar era as a buffer between Germany and France. And because it was not a real country -- meaning they were not native inhabitants of a singular nationality and culture -- it easily became a European version of what they have in the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan: An ungoverned territory.

It has no real sovereign to speak of, no dominant home culture. You wouldn't be very wrong if you said it was stateless. Afghanistan is stateless. This is why Al-Qaeda wanted to go in there. When there's no state, when there's no official sovereign regime, it's easy to go in and establish your own. So they create a Potemkin country of Belgium that's not really supposed to be a nation. It was a buffer zone between Germany and France. But even worse, they attack the idea of nationhood itself when they establishment it, convinced that Hitler rose because there was too much German patriotism for Germany.

You know, that story, it's like saying, "We should never have access to fire, beause despite that there are millions of lifesaving, life-creating, life-generating good things fire makes possible, look at what happens if it's done irresponsibly. So we're gonna outlaw fire." Well, this is the kind of thinking the left engages in, and it's what they have done in creating and establishing the so-called nation of Belgium. So, over time, what do they destroy nationalism with, the left? How do they attack nationalism? It's under attack. We're under attack here.

You know, when you hear attacks on "nationalism" or "populism," trying to make a bugaboo out of people who put their own country first: "That's braggadocios! That's xenophobia! That's racism. You're not supposed to put your own country first. That's selfish. We're supposed to be citizens of the world, don't you understand? And we're no better and no different than anybody else." That's Obamaism. So the concept of Europe and the closely related system of socialism there is to undermine cultural and economic connections to one's own nation.

So in Europe now, you have a continent of people who've been taught not to believe in anything and not to be attached to their nations. They've done that with open borders, wanton immigration with no assimilation. The attack on nationalism has not just been here; it's all over Europe. And they've swallowed it. They embraced it. They thought it was great, multiculturalism. They thought they were saying that they were great people, that they were nondiscriminatory, that they were open to one and all. And they literally allowed their own identities to be dissolved.

And now they're in the process of being swallowed, overrun, and being taken over. You have a continent of people who have been taught not to believe in anything, not to be attached to their own nations. And because something always beats nothing, they're being overrun by a bunch of seventh century zealots, militant Islamists. And they've let it happen. Belgium is a classic illustration and example of how. This is crucial, folks. It's happening here, whether it is a job that can be completed here as it has been in Europe, too close closest to cal. But it's really, really frightening. And I don't think enough people see it for what it is and the way it is.

I listened to see what Rush would say about the Cruz sex scandal. His strategy was to not speak of him or Trump then take phone calls from idiots attacking him for his “support” of Trump. Pretty cagey unless you know what to expect.

I did not get to hear the last hour but I’ll bet he did not have a peep about that.

His revelations about Islamic terror are well known to Freepers and he could have gotten his information here.

The headline contains a common misuse of the phrase “in denial.”

“Denial” is an involuntary, unconscious psychological process. Thus, many rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans ARE “in denial” about Islam and their own leaders’ real intentions.

But the LEADERS are not “in denial.” The leaders are merely DENYING their true intentions. Namely: They facilitate and finance Islamic terrorism, because their ultimate goal is to criminalize all religion.

Here is the Obama/Jarrett/Clinton/Bush/Soros/Bergoglio* plan:

Stage One: Remove secular governments in the Middle East.

Stage Two: Use Muslims to slaughter Christians and Jews, bringing about total chaos in the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Stage Three: Slaughter the Muslims.

Stage Four: A “Just Imagine” world with no religion, no countries, no freedom.

*Possibly only a Useful Idiot.

Forcing the population who are under attack to accept the murdering savages that kill thier families. When they use water cannon on thier own citizenry but would never dare do this to the muzzies, the people need to rise up
