The west is falling to pieces. Too many people have sold their souls. How else to explain it?

Gandhi and Mandela spent time in prison. Has Choudary done the same?

He should.

Here's one of his followers: Mansoor Miah

Actually the comparison has some merit.

Choudary advocates a jihad of violent murder and terrorism.

Mandela’s role as a militant in the ANC and his proxy support (through his wife Winnie) of torturous murder (necklacing) of any who opposed them certainly qualifies him as a terrorist.

Now the comparison does not fit so well with Gandhi, who was a committed advocate of non-violence. But then he did have one thing in common with Moslems - the sleeping with young girls .....

Gandhi claimed that he strengthened himself by resisting temptation while doing this. I wonder however if he might not have been even stronger had he not done it at all. And of course the Moslems probably identify with Gandhi through the whole urine drinking thing.

(But no - Seriously folks - Choudary and Gandhi ... not too much in common.)

The Stockholm Syndrome seems to afflict a great many Western journalists and politicians when it comes to Moslem nutjobs and outright terrorists.

Isaiah 5:20.

It happened as the West embraced lie after lie after lie.

The Strong Delusion has already started it seems. Or more accurately, we are seeing the precursor to it.

Ghandi deserved to be held up as an example. Mandela, not so much. He actually killed someone and swept the ANC into power. The ANC was/is a communist organization that is killing South Africa slowly.

It used to tick me off that Hannity gave this Choudry animal so much talking time on his show.

I have changed my mind and think this guy should be on every show out there. American (and Canada) needs to hear exactly what we’re up against from the horse’s mouth.

When we had a centrist news network in Canada (Sun News Network), Ezra Levant often had Choudry on. It was enlightening to hear Choudry allowed to rant. Anytime he was on the lefty CBC or CTV, they would feed him softballs that he could hit out of the park. Not so with Ezra. I do miss hearing Ezra.

I miss the courageous Ezra as well. I was very disappointed, although not surprised, when Sun News went off the air. I thought they were honest and hard-hitting....a real loss.

Ezra's interview with Chowdery was a classic of the "normal person vs muslim lunatic" genre...

Ezra Levant and Anjem Choudary

The little mohammed cartoon in the upper right is a nice touch.
