Following the January 7 massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, where Islamic gunmen killed a dozen people because the satirical magazine had mocked the prophet of Islam, one thing has become clear: the amount of atrocities committed in the name of Islam all around the world have become so frequent, so ubiquitous, that other, lesser hostilities by Muslims, which might once have been newsworthy, are now completely falling by the wayside, seen as minor and insignificant—commonplace, almost expected.
Thus, while Islamic gunmen were massacring “infidels” in Paris (and elsewhere), “everyday Muslims” in Europe were engaging in less dramatic, but no less significant behavior.
On Friday, January 9—Friday being when Muslims get most riled during mosque sermons and when non-Muslims are frequently attacked—“foreigners” in Italy, believed to be Muslims, attacked a man kneeling in prayer before the statue of the Virgin Mary, tore the photo of a loved one from his hand, and then broke and urinated on the Virgin Mary statue. By the time police arrived at the chapel the attackers had already fled.
Ten days later, also in Italy, a crucifix near a populated mosque was shattered to pieces.
Immediately after this incident, according to the report, “People have already strongly reacted across social networks. They are outraged at this new blow to their deepest feelings, to their beliefs. People can’t take it anymore.”
Nor did the municipality’s Councillor Giuseppe Berlin of the civil list “Your Town” mince words:
It’s time to put an end to the do-gooders’ policies of welcoming and integrating by a certain political party. Before we put a show of unity with Muslims, let’s have them begin by respecting our civilization and our culture. We shouldn’t minimize the importance of certain signals; we must wake up now or our children will suffer the consequences of this dangerous and uncontrolled Islamic invasion.
Meanwhile, Pope Francis called on Catholics and Western people in general to refrain from insulting other religions—namely Islam: “It’s normal, it’s normal [violence]. One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.”… Keep reading

I was thinking exactly that, great text.

“Meanwhile, Pope Francis called on Catholics and Western people in general to refrain from insulting other religions—namely Islam: “It’s normal, it’s normal [violence]. One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.”
It is widely believed that the Pope made these statements in reference to the Charlie Hebdo massacre, which was provoked by “insult[ing] other people’s faith,” those “people” being Muslims and that “faith” being Islam.
One wonders if Pope Francis would still call it “normal” if members of his own flock were to murder those who urinated on the Virgin statue or broke the crucifix?”
The above quoted part of the article, is not shown above as it is in the “keep reading part”. Given how intelligent, thought provoking and witty it is,I thought of including it here.

“You see, here in the West, for any Islamic outburst or attack to be deemed “newsworthy,” it must involve dramatic, wholesale slaughter, as in the Charlie Hebdo affair—such is the West’s desensitization towards Islamic violence. Muslims attacking Christians praying, smashing and urinating on Christian statues and icons, or screaming “You will all die! I am a Muslim!”—are today deemed trite and commonplace, hardly newsworthy.
One wonders how long before Charlie Hebdo-style attacks also lose their newsworthiness, becoming commonplace and expected, as the tentacles of the jihad continue to grow.”
I personally think that the above quoted two paragraphs are very precise in describing one of the many sickening aspects of western mainstream media covering of Islamic violent acts, taking place on western soil.
Notice how the last paragraph is sounding the alarm for the whole west to wake up, if ever!
The whole thing comes back to the example or experiment of the frog and the boiling water. The result of putting the frog in water before starting boiling it and then starting doing so gradually, versus that of putting the frog in the already boiled and very hot water.

Exactly. The natural order of thing in this world is chaos. Without energy to build and create order, it all disappears over time. Islam is smart in gradually moving us toward chaos, like they have it in the middle east. Wherever they have been, chaos followed over 1400 years. Many religions and many other humanitarian efforts create order and they are all being suppressed by Islam.
NEVER FORGET!!!! says
Just like Osama & all the Jihadis have said all along, “We will not stop killing, chopping heads off, pushing Islam any way we can…..You people in The West will just accept the killing as long as it’s not near you…….You’re foolish liberal leaders will continue to make deals as to avoid the fight, so they can live instead of standing up & fighting…….Allowing us to prove to you that the only thing you can do for yourselves is to CONVERT or DIE!”
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER FOFGET!!!!!!!!!
BO LIES JUST LIKE THEM!!!!!!!
EVERY DEAL MADE IS ANOTHER FORM OF JIZYA!!!!!
NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!

Yep, Barry is our Taqiyya president. And he’s pretty good at it. Trouble is Americans don’t realize what he’s doing. He’s practicing taqiyya for the cause. He pro caliphate. He with the Brothers… He won’t do anything or allow anything to happen to that which he and Valerie support. Even promote as in leave a ton of material for ISIS to take up for their own use.
I’m so tired of talking head asking “why does he/is he/won’t he…because he practices taqiyya!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drives me NUTs!
Ross says
I’m with you. Westman. I’m am still pissed about the beheading of Nick Berg and I will never forget what these animals are doing to ruin life on this planet. I have grand children.
John Barron says
Their atrocities, demands and consistent threats over decades were the main reason for the original Crusades (which they blame all infidels/kafirs for, of course). Unfortunately it’s going to take that kind of resistance again to push this current wave of Islam back.
Salah says
The West must wake up. The West must declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. The Egyptians did, the Saudis did, the UAE did. What are we waiting for?
The gradual fall of Islam is already happening in the Middle East PRECISELY because of this decision.
Why are we still protecting these thugs?
Alissa says
Obama is the problem. He is complicit
Kevin Walker says
It’s not only Obama, majority of politicians in the west are complicit with islamists, otherwise they wouldn’t have allowed the flood of mohammedan immigration. In Canada their population has almost tripled since 9/11 and I believe so is the case in each western country.
terry says
“The West must declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. The Egyptians did, the Saudis did, the UAE did.”
But Islam is still in full control there!! The other day, a woman was publicly beheaded in Saudi Arabia; several people were charged and convicted with blasphemy and/or insulting Islam, in the last three months alone, in Egypt.
Declaring the Muslim B. a terrorist organization is like surgically removing a malignant tumour from an organ or part of the body after it already metastasised, and now the whole body, or almost all of it, is filled with malignant tumours.
The best course of treatment in this case is not surgically removing each tumour mass, one by one, but dealing with the real root cause by a whole comprehensive treatment to clean the whole body, fortify its immune and healing systems, strengthening its defence and protective mechanisms.
In other words, cleaning the planet from and strengthening its defences against this malignancy which is Islam!
MKG says
So it would seem they are going to have to get more audacious in their attacks just to get headlines. And, in doing so brings more attention to the West of their foul deeds.
fred bartholomeusz says
Once again this Muslim idealism crap is getting discussed by those of us that are not interested in the whole argument anyway. The only thing that is entirely clear is that every jihadist needs to be removed and I mean unequivocally exterminated for the long term good of all mankind.
All Western governments need to accept that there will be no integration of these hardline fanatics in any country. These animals cannot exist in their own homelands so what chance in the modern world.
Furthermore the Religion of Evil , Allah and his Muhammad monkey should not be allowed to cross any borders. Let them behead each other in the desert sands and let the rest of us live in peace and harmony
