The Barbarians Are Inside, And There Are No Gates
Steyn Online ^ | 13 Nov 2015 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 11/14/2015 3:49:30 AM PST by Rummyfan

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) ....

I would like to ask Mr Cameron and Miss Thorning-Schmidt what's their happy ending here?

Best question to ask now and of all stupid liberal policies. It is not just that the liberals are wrong but that their policies are dangerous.

Gen 16:12

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

After watching the events on American college campuses this week, who thinks there any “Aragorns” or “men of the West” on the way who will stand at the “Black Gate?”

The gate has been forced open, the wall breached, and the hordes are loosed upon the land. And soon the “age of men comes crashing down.”

From the article:
“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) and doubtless there’ll be another candlelight vigil of weepy tilty-headed wankers. Because as long as we all advertise how sad and sorrowful we are, who needs to do anything?”

Mark Steyn, you are a genius!

——What it is is an attack on the west, on the civilization that built the modern world ——

There is the essence of the now global war. The Islamic counter reformation refuses to accept any change from it’s founders declaration in the Koran. The only recourse is to kill the counter reformers by the tens of thousands....... starting at Guantanamo bay.

I see them everyday entering Kirtland Air Force Base, directing traffic, putting out fires, at the military recruiting offices, in the pews of my church. Shall I go on?

And who shall lead them?

The careerist officer corps that grovels at Obama’s feet?

The first “transgender” general?

A Congress that is too cowardly to sign a declaration of war yet accuses the troops of “war crimes” and binds them with suicidal ROE?

A President who sends a military he despises to fight and die in a cause he doesn’t believe in and couldn’t care less about?

Who shall lead them?

I believe there will be an attack on our soil...malls and schools are likely Isis eye candy...erstwhile our dear leader says we have universal principles and won’t say anything but unfortunate workplace violence...and those pastors who won’t keep their own houses unlocked at night want to embrace the immigrant and so-called sojourn and keep our borders “unlocked”...they don’t mind putting everyone at risk for their warped definition of stranger or immigrant...I believe accepting people who want to kill you misses the mark of what God talks about many times in His Word.

I was limiting mine to the US itself; worldwide Muslims kill millions, but I was comparing the legal treatment of the Klan to the kid-glove treatment of Islam. Two consecutive presidents pretended Islam is peaceful...

I just heard Steyn on Fox and Friends, and he said Colorado again, although he referred to the guy being from Santa Clara. I think he means California, the “episode” at UC Merced.

There are many. There always have been in our darkest hours. What about you do you plan to stand? Or just bitch from your arm chair?

Thanks for posting the Steyn columns. He's always a good read, and he often - like today - makes important points.

Steyn nails it once again.

So did Ted Cruz about 20 minutes ago on FOX. His political gloves are off and he isn't mincing words or twisting his hanky.
