Europe and immigration issues, Al Azhar reacts to Geert’s video and more: Links 2 on June 24 – 2015

1. Migrants desperate to get into UK by any means necessary ‘have knives and aren’t afraid to use them’ say British truckers stranded on day two of Calais strike chaos

Mayhem at the French port has continued for a second day, leading to the deployment of extra riot police to control both migrants and the wildcat strikers who shut down cross-Channel services yesterday.

The gridlock outside Calais meant that migrants were able to try and break into lorries for a second day – and frustrated drivers claim that many of them ‘have got knives and they’re not afraid to use them’.

Eurostar trains and ferries started running again this morning but are ‘very, very, very full’ as companies tries to clear the backlog of passengers whose journeys were cancelled.

Hiding: A migrant attempts to smuggle himself in the undercarriage of a lorry at Calais after wildcat strikes caused travel chaos

2. Machete killer ‘became obsessed with ISIS beheading videos’ just weeks before killing great-grandmother, 82, during 45-minute rampage through north London street
(Once again we see the push from the leftist-Islamic alliance to ban evidence of what muslims do when practicing orthodox islam in order to protect the reputation of a doctrine which is fully disreputable. In 2011 the population of the UK was over 63 million people. If a couple of them are affected by Islamic State Propaganda and do bad things, it is a tiny tin fraction of the number of people who, upon becoming aware of how islam behaves given the chance to act on its dogma, would become disgusted with it and support measures to ensure it cannot gain influence at home. This, one must suspect, is why the media is anxious to trumpet the extremely rare case of someone imitating these videos)

Killer Nicholas Salvador became obsessed with watching Islamic State beheading videos before he decapitated an 82-year-old great-grandmother in a violent 45-minute rampage, it has been claimed.

Friends say the paranoid schizophrenic, who at one time converted to Islam, became increasingly preoccupied with the sickening videos in the run-up to the brutal killing of Italian café owner Palmira Silva.

One source said the 25-year-old – who came within yards of two children as he stormed through a suburban street in Edmonton, north London in September last year – had undergone a sinister transformation after researching Jihadi messages and conspiracy theories online.

They told The Sun: ‘He was looking at the videos of beheadings for weeks. He became obsessed with them.’

At least 18 people are dead after ethnic Uighurs attacked police with knives and bombs at a traffic checkpoint in China’s western Xinjiang region, Radio Free Asia reported on Wednesday.

The attack occurred on Monday in a district of the southern city of Kashgar, where tensions between Muslim Uighurs that call the region home and the majority Han Chinese have led to bloodshed in recent years.

Suspects killed several police officers with knives and bombs after speeding through a traffic checkpoint in a car in Kashgar’s Tahtakoruk district, U.S.-based Radio Free Asia said, citing Turghun Memet, an officer at a nearby police station.

Armed police responded to the attack and killed 15 suspects “designated as terrorists,” Radio Free Asia cited Memet as saying.

(One wonders if the Chinese might do a little more than that)

4. This one should make any thinking person quite angry.

CNN attempts to redirect any anger that exists against the Islamic State for its genocides, destruction of irreplaceable historical artifacts, institutional racism, torture and imposition of the most illiberal legal codes human beings can fathom, not to mention the renormalization of slavery and total destruction of basic rights of non muslim, especially woman, and direct that anger at American ‘white supremacist groups’ who as far as anyone can tell, do nothing whatsoever. Even the Roof psycho who murdered a number of seemingly wonderful people at a Church in South Carolina was not connected to any group anyone has been able to expose and even if he had, the scale would be absurdly off balance to islamic slaughter.

5. Al-Azhar condemns Dutch parliamentarian’s attempted publishing of anti-Islam video

Egypt-based major Islamic Sunni institution Al-Azhar has strongly denounced on Sunday endeavours by the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders to publish a cartoon that allegedly offends Islam.

 

Long known for his campaigns against Muslims around the world, including banning the Holy Quran in 2007, Wilders called for the publishing of a cartoon video of the Prophet Muhammad.

 

Referring to the attempted publishing, Al-Azhar said in an official statement on Sunday: “This is a clear provoking act towards Muslims and goes against the western beliefs of respecting other cultures and views.”

(Maybe Al Azhar, but it is in keeping with the Islamic beliefs of not tolerating things you disagree with so you should be proud of your influence there)

6. Geert Wilders’ office informs us that the Dutch state broadcaster did indeed show Geert’s video and the cartoons of mohamed on state TV today as promised.

The video of what was shown is below.

;

From Geert’s official press release:

Today, a selection of Muhammad cartoons were shown on Dutch public television.

 

The cartoons were originally shown at an exhibition of Muhammad cartoons in Garland, Texas,  last May, where PVV leader Geert Wilders gave a speech, and which was attacked by terrorists.

 

Geert Wilders: “The only way to show terrorists that they are not going to win is to do exactly what they do not want us to do. I do not broadcast the cartoons to provoke; I do it because we have to show that we stand for freedom of speech and that we will never surrender to violence.

 

Freedom of speech must always prevail over violence and terror.”

7. When it comes to guns, perception trumps reality. Again.

8. Hungary reverses its decision of yesterday to ignore EU regulations on illegal migrants

 

 

Thank you Buck, M., Maria J., Geert W., Wrath of Khan, Richard, Carpe Diem and all. More to come shortly including an in depth look at the person who ran over and stabbed people in Austria the other day.

  1. The counter-jihad movement’s lunacy about climate change is truly troubling. In the above video Ezra Klein exhibits some deep misunderstandings:

    1. Anthropogenic climate change is as strongly grounded a scientific theory as we have in science.

    2. Klein says that climate change is a “theory”, which it is, but the way that he says it, he is using it in the colloquial sense of the term, not the scientific sense. In science “theory” represents our highest level of understanding: the theory of gravitation; the theory of quantum electrodynamics etc. These well-grounded, well-tested domains of knowledge are among the strongest examples of human understanding in existence, and the truth of man-made climate change is among them. But Klein seems to think that “theory” in science is the same as “theory” in the every day sense, as in “my Kennedy assassination theory”. But those are two different things.

    3. Most importantly: A proper understanding of man-made climate change, how it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels is essential to the politics of the counter-jihad movement, because the danger of global warming provides a powerful incentive for altering the global energy economy, both technologically and politically, which could include overthrowing the Saudi regime, and shutting off their sources of income. If everyone in America and the West were aware of how dangerous fossil fuel induced global warming is (and the danger is very real), we would be that much more motivated to end the financial bonanza of Arab oil states, which is a major aspect of Islam’s global power. The political Right’s global warming conspiracy theories (for that’s what they are) are there fore in contradiction with the political goals of the counter-jihad movement.

    4. On that last point, some clarity is needed: the idea that man-made global warming is a liberal hoax is a delusional conspiracy theory generated by the Right because it has no good answer to the problem (or perhaps because it doesn’t care about the future of humanity). Why is it a problem?

    Here’s the deal with conspiracy theories.

    Conspiracy theories become widespread and influential in a political culture because they fill a psychological need. Conspiracy theories function as a kind of ideological scapegoat: when your own cherished (dogmatic) beliefs lead you astray, and you aren’t willing to criticize or alter them, you must find something else to blame your problems on. This something else is an imagined conspiracy.

    Say you were a far Left wing type in America. If you held, on 9/11/2001 that America was the Evil Empire, that nothing about it was worth defending, and that no other actor in the world could possibly have intentions as evil as the attacks of that day appeared to require, then you had a problem: How to explain evil committed against the United States when the United States is the source of all evil? The solution? The United States attacked itself. Problem solved.

    The same logic gave the same result in other parts of the world. If you were an Egyptian Muslim who knew that Islam was a peaceful religion, and that terrorism was only the result of distortion of ‘true’ religion or legitimate political grievances then you had a problem: how to explain the 9/11 attacks when the religion of peace was invoked to justify them by the perpetrators, and the lead hijacker was from Cairo? The solution? The United States, in conjunction with Israel attacked itself, and then blamed it all on Muslims. Problem solved. No need to rethink your basic assumptions.

    Once you notice this kind of casuistry, you start seeing it everywhere. The belief among Western conservatives that global warming is a conspiracy by liberal academics and media has the same motivation. Conservatives are committed to free market capitalism as a dogma. The phenomenon of global warming calls into question the benefits of our current global economic regime, particularly the fossil-fuel based energy economy. Conservatives therefore find themselves in a bind: how to maintain their beliefs in a current economic order, which includes the fossil-fuel economy, in the face of the overwhelming evidence of anthropogenic climate change? Their solution? Global warming is a liberal hoax. Problem solved. No need to rethink any basic assumptions.

    This kind of mad logic is an ongoing moral and intellectual disaster, and what’s worse, it is fueling the fires of global jihad : WHEN YOU ARGUE AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING, NOT ONLY ARE YOU JUST PLAIN WRONG, YOU ARE CARRYING WATER FOR THE SAUDIS!

    • There is no issue that atmospheric warming is caused by gasses like methane and carbon dioxide and the increased production of them caused by industry, vehicles and land-waste dumps is having an effect.
      What is objected to is the socialists skimming a profit off trading in carbon-tax where the biggest poluters buy off and off-set their problem to not ever need to innovate. They also falsified data. If they had done this with cfc gasses from fridges in the 1970s we’d probably all be unable to go outdoors.

      This lack of ability for socialists and islamists to be able think honestly and rationally, coupled with the death-wish of Communists and Mohammadans, makes a very troubling world. I have not heard of any one government investing in alternative fuels except fracking for their own oil. Short-term parliaments with many members having tidy-holes outside their countries, will not save us. Giving prizes and tax exemption, (that is, leave business alone), so that the desire that every person has for a clean planet will be sellable and affordable.
      Now please pass laws that all plastics be biodegradable and cease all lobbyists bribing and intimidating elected officials. Oh, you want brothers and sisters to be able to marry because of their Human Rights, and ISIS want Jesus and Mohammad to return. ‘Guess they’ve got their priorities right.

    • OK, let’s deconstruct Krishan Bhattacharya’s disingenuous handiwork.

      The counter-jihad movement’s lunacy about climate change is truly troubling.

      There is no counter-jihad movement about climate change. Period. Therefore, there is no lunacy implied about the counter-jihad movement and it is not troubling in the least to the author.

      This is what happens is when you can’t debate a person over the truth about Islam, you create a false association in the mind of your reader and then set out and destroy that to discredit them. Ethical Oil is about not feeding muslims. It is the same as not purchasing halal food: Ethical Eating.

      In the above video Ezra Klein exhibits some deep misunderstandings:

      So it is by this single argument of delving into the area of climate change (beyond Ethical Oil) that would by association destroy the validity of the counter-jihad movement, and agree with this mohammadan’s anti-Saudi rhetoric. Creating a straw-man on a new front to be defended.

      Saul Alynsky’s Rules for Radicals:
      * RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

      F*ck off.

      • Robert Cross asks elsewhere: “So how do these muslim retards square throwing queers of roofs with shagging little boys,?is there an inconsistency here?”

        Something happens to the tacqyya-merchant when their deceptions start getting through. They want to befriend you, ask you about all you family and personal details, and then mount you as a representation of their true dominance. Muslims can’t help it, and they first practice on little girls in their heads and then on the battlefield and then hope in being surrounded in heaven.

        So when you come in contact with a Communist kiddy-fiddler or Islamic support-worker get yourself out there, for your interaction will be your downfall – because the laws of socialism are against you.

        • The free-4-all that Socialism has wrecked:

          “Let us look for a moment at one of the more bald-faced revelations of the homosexualist’s view of, and goals for, American society. In a point-by-point public relations strategy called “The Overhauling of Straight America,” (Guide Magazine, November, 1987) homosexuals Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill explain their modern makeover of Hitler’s “Big Lie.” This remarkable piece is a control freak’s fantasy, a veritable binge of manipulative, coercive and deceptive words and tactics. It begins:

          The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays…To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream… (Kirk and Pill:7).

          This behavior-modification mentality, combined with isolation of “straights” and others as groups or classes who assume the status of de-humanized targets of one sort or another, continues:

          the masses [emphasis ours] should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself…the imagery of sex should be downplayed…(ibid.:8).

          …open up a gateway into the private world of straights, through which a Trojan horse might be passed (ibid.:8).

          …gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector (ibid.:8).

          …make use of symbols which reduce the mainstream’s sense of threat, which lower its guard…(ibid.:8).

          …replace the mainstream’s self-righteous pride about its homophobia with shame and guilt (ibid.:10).

          Not so many years ago, all of these statements would have been unbelievably offensive to most Americans, even if they contained no reference to homosexuality, precisely because they all advocate coercive tampering with people’s most private domain, their thoughts, opinions and beliefs (Kirk and Pill call it “transforming the social values of straight America” — ibid.:14). Such attempts were thought to be the province of diabolical masterminds in sci-fi novels, or of Maoists or the dictators of banana republics. But we have arrived at a time in America in which Kirk and Pill simply add their voices (and the tone of their voices) to the many advocating the forcible or manipulative control of people’s ideas (for example, “speech codes” on college campuses and in newspaper classified advertising policy). ”

            • The empire builders are facing what the Romans did as they expanded into different nations. The Narrative, Political Correctness, the lowest functioning of sex, culture, religion controls the proletariat to permit their leaders to abuse and pillage.

              The Iliad and the Odyssey were fictional stories for the Greek educational system to base their national character around, the story of Jesus, The Good Roman Citizen kept religion out of politics for you and a gateway for politics into religion for them. The Vatican is based in Rome.

              Islam is the greatest self-slave religion and Communism the greatest open prison. What’s not to like by the elite-class?

      • Perfectchild

        Excellent demolition of Krishan Bhattacharya’s proposion that Counter-Jihad’s so called lunacy on Climate change is somehow troubling. A confused

        The other proposition os that AG/CC is a well grounded science. AgW started off its life as a method to scupper the NUM in Britain. It was then morphed by politicians to raise some tax on the specious ground that man was primarily responsible for Climate Change.

        Krishan Bhattacharya makes the claim that CC is just well scientifically grounded, as say the theory of Electromagnetism, or Special Relativity. I would love to see it.

  2. 4 – The main difference between ISIS and the white supremacist is cultural, the white supremacist come from the cultures that have spend the past 2 centuries building western civilization based on individual rights and the rule of law. This means the white supremacist can’t get enough power to commit the crimes ISIS does daily.

    • 4/ CNN, et al.: It’s just too irritating and doesn’t merit a reasoned response. Their cynical ploy is the stuff that got the Big O elected twice and has made our country unable to defend itself.
      — ALMOST unable, that is.

      7/ The guy saved lives! That makes would-be passengers “uncomfortable”?
      Here’s a cluster of people who shouldn’t be having kids. Their idiot genes must perish for survival of the species.

      • To an extent you can think of war as a culling process, the civilians who die in wartime are generally those who are incapable of rational thought.

  3. 7 – This shows the power of propaganda and how hard it is to get the people to think before they act, the left through their control of the entertainment industry and the MSM have people thinking that self defense is evil.
