We are all witness to a historic event, the beginning of the Islamic Jihad in France and the Netherlands, soon to be spread to the rest of Western Europe. As Paris burns, as the Christian infrastructure is being destroyed, as some of the most fundimental historical foundations of the Western world is now threatened, it is foolish to allow negative feelings for past deeds by the French or any other to cloud our collactive judgements.
We should not snicker, we should not cheer, we should not jab them in the ribs. We are Christians, might I remind you, and the wayward brother now suffers and it is a suffering that we are creating for our own future as well. Our Muslim population does not integrate so well as we would like to believe. Furthermore, as the Oklahoma University bombing shows, more then a few of our own children are willing to join that Islamic scourge and bring down the civilization that gave them life.
Instead, as Christians, as something other then petty human beings, we must assist our Christian brothers, be they French, Lebanese, Cypriots, Russians, Serbs, Ethiopians or any other, to fight the very scourge that will one day trully come for us as well.
If we wish to even pretend to be Christian, it is time to act like it. It is time to see these barbarians for what they are, not just a threat to France but to all Judeo-Christian civilization.
We either stand united or we fall one by one, a light of civilization blinking out here and there, until the night of eternal evil and slavery is all that is left to humanity.
So which will it be? Christ and brotherhood? Or pettiness and eternal darkness?
No. Even if there were armed combat on our streets, the self-loathers would be shouting from rooftops that it is our fault, that we are getting what we deserve, that we stirred up hatred against us because of imperialism, greed, blood for oil, blah blah blah.
Curtis Lemay made the Ruskies tremble in the night, the commies were terrified of him. Why, he meant exactly what he said about nuking them back to the stone age.
Well, yeah. It is still France.
in that case just more targets then...
Our elites are full of absolute madness until something threatens their jets, cliffside mansions, retirement villas, etc...We didn't act until Europe was practically lost in World War II.
But look at the French. They became a full and willing partner in Hitler's genocide after fighting for a few weeks and surrendering one of the largest armies in the world.
They always have another way...and it's always based on inaction. (and cowardice) Kind of reminds you of Democrats.
Right. We would never be told the identities of the protesters. Just like in the current MSM, they would be referred to only in generics because of the politically correct madness that rules western society.
If rioting broke out in our streets anyone who advocated dealing directly and harshly with the protesters would become the enemy.
Faithful did what he was chosen to do - "The Way's the Way and there's an End!"
And no doubt, so are the ones in France who still believe...
And then Napoleon was crowned in a church by a bishop.
Wrong.
First of all, it was not a "bishop". It was Pope Pius VII.
Secondly, Napoleon used Pope Pius VII and the Catholic Church as a political prop and crowned himself!
Napoleon's Coronation as Emperor of the French
Might I remind you that our own government, as an example, has the most liberal abortion laws in the world. The hour before birth, its still just a clump of cells.
What does that have to do with France?
Just because the America of the Democratic Party is an abomination does not make France something that should be admired.
You did not address my main point which is that this will be good for France in the long run as it will help bring France out of its self righteous arrogance and bring France back into reality.
I'm not on the side of Jihadistas anytime or anywhere, but...
FECK THE FRUNCH!!!!!
Actually, when I referred to radical Protestants and Christians, I was thinking of 17th century French history, when there were massacres. Such history is oblivious to the French masses, but it runs through the veins of their decision-makers. They ARE Frenchie-scared of Islamofascists, and not because the latter are fascists; because they are not secularists, like the original fascists!
Good stuff. Saved me from posting it but..
I can't find a downside here. france and the EU can wake up or fall. If they wake up - great. If the fall, we'll clean up and rebuild one more time.
EU needed a lesson and france is the perfect place for the lesson.
Yes.
T...BUZZARD!!!!!!!!!
ROFLMAO!
FECK THE FRUNCH!!!!!!! I love it... :)
Don't misunderstand me. I don't think for a second that the people on the streets are all religious zealots. But I do think it is possible for them to be used by religious zealots, and be willing participants, and be drunken party time punks at the same time.
Islamic fascists will do anything-anything to further their goals. They have demonstrated this. We ignore it at our peril.
I am not cheering, but please allow me to say,"I TOLD YOU SO"!
Who will bail out the French this time?
