Oops, they did it again

It turns out that the real victims of Nice weren’t those who lost their lives or those they left behind. It wasn’t those who survived but suffered pain and crippling injuries and who may never recover from the mental scars. It wasn’t the wider population of the French Riviera, their businesses, their security, their joie de vivre. No, the real victims of Nice, we are now told, was the ‘muslim community’... Once again the political media machine is spinning for the aggressors even as their victims are spinning in their graves.

I heard a spokesman saying earlier that we should respect the muslim faith, but why, what is there to respect? The purely religious component of islam may possibly hold some of the peaceful aspirations its adherents insist. But the wailing muezzins and lofty minarets disguise the true meaning, submission, which urges muslims to invade and conquer and those who cleave to the faith are quick to brutal, unflinching, unhesitating, barbaric violence. I don’t ever recall lynch mobs in Britain but across Europe, every day now, we see muslims engaged in the most brutal acts of slaying, mutilation and demands for the subjugation of the host people.

He was mentally ill, he was radicalised, he wasn’t a true muslim; these proclamations from the pulpits of political correctness have become embarrassing. islam has no place in civilisation. islam never had a civilisation and those who claim coincident cultural achievements in the name of allah do so as thieves. In my lexicon islam does not even warrant the status or proper noun. It is sub human, beyond redemption and beneath contempt. The only place for islam in record is to be confined forever to ancient history.

But right now, that work has yet to begin. Turkey has long been the battleground between western culture and the islamic urge to destroy, but the principles of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk are under threat. He said “My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go.” and “Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable....” The current favourite insight from the past is: “islam, the absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, is a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.”

How many more times do you need to be told?

He was right and modern leaders ignore him at their peril. France is in mortal danger now and Germany will follow. As its leaders are too weak to fight back, putting dogma before the evidence of their own eyes and the testimony of their own people, the only outcome will be yet more violence. Outreach work, liaison with the ‘muslim community’, constant protestations of their innocence, the mythical majority of moderate muslims; none of this has made anything better. Nobody cares for your snowflake sensitivities or your yearning to be loved by the rainbow coalition of peoples – the time for vigils and candles is long past - islam wants you converted or dead. Until you learn this, you have learned absolutely nothing.
