It has been a busy day but not a prolific one for posting here so far.
Lots of editing of materials for the Counter-jihad although only one finished and ready for the general public. More ready I hope by tonight.
Either I am unaware of them, or there have been fewer islamic atrocities against the rest of the world today than usual. Maybe its cause the mosques aren’t out yet in some areas? I dunno. But I am always grateful for a slow day, unlike yesterday where Muslims were slaughtering their way through many countries and blaming the victims for their horrific acts while they try and balkanize the world as the midway point to making it all subject to sharia.
Here are a few worthy items however:
1. Optimism or Carelessness? by Fjordman
One of the claims presented against Islam-critical writers is that they suffer from paranoia about a secret Islamic conspiracy to Islamize Europe and the Western world. This is of course not true. Nobody ever sad that it was secret, at least not entirely so. The long-term goal of Islamic theology is for Islam to be triumphant across the entire world, including Europe and the Western world. This is simply mainstream Islam, as it has existed for centuries; it is not a recent innovation by a few radicals.
Besides, the truth is that far from exaggerating, even critics of Islam can be taken by surprise at the sheer speed of events, and by how quickly many Western leaders are caving in to Islamic pressures.
2. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff discusses dhimmitude at the Roundtable in Orlando, May 16 2014
4. Gunmen attack Indian consulate in western Afghanistan
(This would be a great time for the new Prime Minister of India to show his greater understanding of the nature of Islam than the previous fellow, and act on it)
(This is exactly how the socialist state installs itself as a totalitarian entity. You disempower the people by removing all rights to defend yourselves or your individual interests but you give each person amazing amounts of power when it comes to serving the interests of cultural marxism. So one person can complain about a church sign and it looks like the state is acting for him but really its giving the state an excuse to act for the furtherance of its own power. Meanwhile we all can complain about Islam and its 5 prayers a day to exterminate us and no action will ever be taken.
As an aside the person who did complain would do well to read about logical fallacies and how that pertains to Pascal’s stupid wager. Its the same trick a lot of global warming alarmists use to grab the untrained minds among us)
6. Here is an interesting video segment of a Sam Harris talk taken from this website which also looks rather interesting at first glance.
Thanks all for the links. More to come later on today.
#5 The Baptists do believe, without receiving the sacrifice of Jesus, God will burn your soul, for all have sinned since Adam and Eve and so will not be allowed into Heaven. Anything less would be tantamount taqiyya by contravening the trade’s description.
So the Sociovists might want to check through their hymms before moving on to ripping and burning their bibles as a Public Protection from Hate Crimes.
Those who fought the second world war are too frail to defend the country from these public servants.

This is what the socialists, mainly through their school teacher henchpersons, have been inculcating into the young for the last few decades. If young Robert Gladwin had been taught to be a man, he might have gone into the church and politely told the minister what he thought of the sign, because he happens to be right and it is bogus to threaten people with hell just for not agreeing with you. But no. Young Mr. Gladwin had to make like a little wuss and run to the authorities, to go tell the teacher, to tell Mom – in short – to rat. The left wing bastards are trying, with great success I might add, to turn us into helpless little pansy boy sheep/children who can’t deal with anything without a big strong grown-up unionized left-wing-voting government employee to figure it out for us. I hate them…
And, re Pascal’s wager, it is really nothing more than a joke. Belief is not a choice, but a phenomenon that takes place inside your brain whether you want it to or not, as a result of evidence or perceived evidence. If you look at your watch and it says 3:00, it is impossible to force yourself to believe it is midnight. If I were to offer you a million dollars if you could honestly choose to believe that the sky is green and the grass is blue, you would get no money because you could not honestly believe a thing that you know is not true. Pascal was a dimwit, obviously.
OK, OK, I don’t really know who Pascal was…:)
I just looked up Pascal and discovered one of the geniuses of the 17th century. Maybe the word “dimwit” was poorly chosen…
I think Pascal’s wager was intellectual slight of hand. Global warming guys use his logic all the time. They essentially argue that if they are right and nothing is done we all die, and if they are wrong and we do what they say the world is better for it anyway so why not go along with their agenda since its a win win?
Pascal’s version had to do with believing in Jesus and avoiding hell. He reasoned that if you believed in Jesus and Christianity was not true, then no harm done so its a win win or at worst, a massive win Vs. a no real loss.
Of course its total bullshit. There is always a loss in believing something not true and acting on those beliefs. Both global warming and religion prove that. Global warming has taken billions of dollars away from fixing genuine environmental problems in order to deal with the fake one of CO2. It is a scam to help the communists disenfranchise the developed world in order to empower the 3rd world politically and financially without them actually having to produce wealth or adjust their bankrupt cultures.
Islam is all I need to say to prove that acting on false beliefs is bad for everyone. As a general rule at least.
The status quo or hell? The progeny of the Gladwins should be told.

I’m glad you find my website interesting at first glance.
This Buddhist monk wishes you all a blessed and peaceful day.

5/ Christians may believe that non-believers will go to Hell – Muslims will physically try to send them there.
The only hateful thing was the kids trying to force people to believe his way.
