As I write, Paris is under curfew for the first time since the German occupation, and the death toll from the multiple attacks stands at 158, the vast majority of them slaughtered during a concert at the Bataclan theatre, a delightful bit of 19th century Chinoiserie on the boulevard Voltaire. The last time I was there, if memory serves, was to see Julie Pietri. I'm so bloody sick of these savages shooting and bombing and killing and blowing up everything I like - whether it's the small Quebec town where my little girl's favorite fondue restaurant is or my favorite hotel in Amman or the brave freespeecher who hosted me in Copenhagen ...or a music hall where I liked to go to hear a little jazz and pop and get away from the cares of the world for a couple of hours. But look at the photographs from Paris: there's nowhere to get away from it; the barbarians who yell "Allahu Akbar!" are there waiting for you ...when you go to a soccer match, you go to a concert, you go for a drink on a Friday night. They're there on the train... at the magazine office... in the Kosher supermarket... at the museum in Brussels... outside the barracks in Woolwich...
Twenty-four hours ago, I said on the radio apropos the latest campus "safe space" nonsense:
This is what we're going to be talking about when the mullahs nuke us.
Almost. When the Allahu Akbar boys opened fire, Paris was talking about the climate-change conference due to start later this month, when the world's leaders will fly in to "solve" a "problem" that doesn't exist rather than to address the one that does. But don't worry: we already have a hashtag (#PrayForParis) ....

So I say again: What's the happy ending here? Because if M Hollande isn't prepared to end mass Muslim immigration to France and Europe, then his "pitiless war" isn't serious. And, if they're still willing to tolerate Mutti Merkel's mad plan to reverse Germany's demographic death spiral through fast-track Islamization, then Europeans aren't serious. In the end, the decadence of Merkel, Hollande, Cameron and the rest of the fin de civilisation western leadership will cost you your world and everything you love.
So screw the candlelight vigil.
In 50 years if, through the grace of God we survive, people will look back at Mark Steyn as a true of Churchill-—a voice crying in the wilderness.
Great quote. Agree. Screw the candlelight vigils and solidarity declarations.
BTW - Do you know what Steyn is referring to with “Colorado colleges”?
Muslims have killed enough people here (more than the Klan); Islam should be listed as a terrorist organization. It is nothing less.
We lost the secular war against Islam when mosques were allowed to open on 9/12/01.

Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our friends
and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields,
when the age of men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!
Unfortunately the lunatics are running the asylum.
I’d expect Obama’s strong response will be John Kerry and James Taylor back to Paris with an updated rendition of you’ve still got a friend.
Total annihilation is the only thing that will solve the problem.
I agree with him. When do 0’s speech police come and get me?
Steyn ping.
soebarkah say, “Allahu ackbar!”
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
Or kill them all
Agree on all points.
Moslems must be driven out.
The Open Door. They are all zombies and Europe is dead. RIP Europe.
RE: Aragorn at the Black Gate
Beautiful!!
Stein is dead-on about all of it including Obama’s empty reference to “universal values.” Not only do very few around the world share our values, but not even Obama himself ever meaningfully embraces them. In fact, Obama despises our values—always has, always will.
Listening to Obama talk is like listening to a man who tells pathological lies as he prays for forgiveness.
Yes, Steyn’s clarity is comforting. Candlelight vigils are hollow, vicarious events designed to make people somehow feel they’re DOING something.
A brilliant voice, but, alas, a lonely voice of reason and wisdom. For the past years I have been waiting for the West’s reflexive survival instinct to kick in. It never has and it looks like it never will. It is hard for me to watch the slow suicide of our civilization.
Islam is the enemy. It must be named as such and opposed with violence.
