Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Variety: “Charlie Hebdo carnage will likely fuel the racism and anti-Islam sentiment which has been on the rise in France”

Jan 7, 2015 3:27 pm By Robert Spencer

coran-merde-charlie-hebdo-karim-achoui-ballesAs always, the Leftist media is not concerned about Islamic jihad except insofar as a (generally nonexistent) “backlash” affects Muslims and encourages “racism.” What race is the jihad mass murder of cartoonists again?

“Gunmen Kill 12 at French Satirical Magazine Charlie Hebdo,” by Elsa Keslassy, Variety, January 7, 2015:

…The Charlie Hebdo carnage will likely fuel the racism and anti-Islam sentiment which has been on the rise in France. It will also certainly boost the popularity of far-right (Front national) party leader Marine Le Pen, who is expected to run for President in 2017….

    The Charlie Hebdo carnage will likely fuel the racism and anti-Islam sentiment which has been on the rise in France.

    Racism is one thing and anti-islamic sentiment is another. If anti-islam sentiment is rising thenthere must be an adjacent cause. Now, I’m not an erudite collaborator of Variety, but I’m thinking that the manifestations of islamic supremacy in France and the attacks perpetrated by muslims against non-muslims might have something to do with it.

    It will also certainly boost the popularity of far-right (Front national) party leader Marine Le Pen, who is expected to run for President in 2017

    As far as I know, the French are free to select whichever leader they see fit.

    European countries need to start the deportations of Muslims immediately. Western Society and Islam are incompatible.

      “Sharia law”, the European Court ruled, “is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy”. What is Sharia law? “Sharia is Islam, to be clear: there is no difference between Islam and Sharia”, explains Fouad Belkacem, “Abu Imran”, of Sharia4Belgium.

      I don’t know the extent of it, but apparently there have been spontaneous rallies and marches in France in support of the Charlie Hebdo victims and in support of freedom of speech there I’m glad to see it.

    There should be a strong response from Europeans over this attack. For one thing, get back their right to have guns to protect themselves. It’s obvious that the Jihadists can get them easily enough. Once again, it’s the criminals that have them and the law-abiding populace isn’t allowed them. Maybe it’s time to implement no-tolerance for Muslims that want to trample EU citizens’ rights-such as the non-Muslim zones that the police are afraid to enter. Are you kidding me? Send in troops and take back the city!!

    Just yesterday Spain’s El Mundo criticized the peaceful Pegida protest in Germany as fascist and alarming! The left-wing media world wide is on a hysterical denial cluster *uck. Can we imagine a Europe
    without: art, wine, fashion,topless beaches and ham? And wake up gay supports of Islam, because you’ll be the first to go.

    Watching the news , the French Security forces have identified three suspects in the attack, it would appear that they were already on the radar. We are sitting ducks over here in the west, not coming out yet whether they have been apprehended. Now if the security forces have to go into the Muslim ghettoes and kick doors in they will be screams of persecution from outraged muslimes. Maybe now folk will see that whether we like it or not there is war on, and its here on our doorstep. We really need to get our act together and face facts. As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War ” there is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare”. We will never co-exist.

    Meanwhile in Canada it was announced today in the media that we will be taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next 3 years…then it was also announced that we would also be taking 3,000 Iraqis this year. Wonderful timing.

      So long as they were 13000 CHRISTIANS there would be no problem at all.

      So: write to Mr Harper and everybody else relevant, in the government, and DEMAND that those most desperately imperilled – i.e. the Assyrian and ethnically-Armenian CHRISTIANS be given ALL of those 13,000 refugee places. Because it is *they* who really are suffering genocide, right now. Sunni Muslims can go to other Muslim lands. Shiite Muslims can go to Iran. The ‘West” should insist that other Muslim lands look after their own; and *we* will look after *our* own…namely, the **non-Muslims**.

      Barnabas Fund and other groups such as Voice of the Martyrs have been working with Christians in Syria and Iraq for years. They would be able to help vet the applicants so that *only* bona fide Christians – and NOT Mohammedans in masks – got in.

    “The first rule of surviving a gunfight is to realize that you are in one.”

    We are in a gunfight. Hating those who wish to kill us is not “racism,” it’s survival instinct.

    Do I hate muslims? Not particularly. I think their religion is factually wrong and is used as a sword more often than an olive branch, but that is a problem with the religion, not the people.

    Do I believe that the majority of the muslim world wants to kill me? Again, not particularly. What I do believe is that the part of the muslim world that does want to kill me is willing to kill the part that doesn’t want to kill me until the ones that do want me dead are the only ones left. And I believe that there are plenty more that want things like Sharia law which I do not agree with. The majority of muslims still favor stoning adulterers even though this ends up killing FAR more female rape victims than all others combined. The majority of muslims believe that there are valid reasons to kill civilians during jihad and those who do not believe these things are the ones who never speak out against it. Why not? Because they know they will be killed for it.

    Do I believe that islam is a cancer on the world that should be eradicated? Absolutely. Just as Nazism was a cancer during the 30’s and 40’s which was eradicated to the point that anyone claiming to support them is universally despised; islam should not be tolerated in the modern world due to it’s views on slavery, homicide, and sharia law.

    This isn’t racism any more than anti-nazism was racism. We don’t hate a group of people, we hate the ideas that those people have. They can keep their lives, just not their ideas.

    Islam is indeed a religion of peace. It teaches muslims to kill, murder, rape, and behead peacefully. .. They’re monsters like orcs and uruk hai in LOTR.

    Variety: “Charlie Hebdo carnage will likely fuel the racism and anti-Islam sentiment which has been on the rise in France”
    …………………………….

    I heard about this atrocity on the radio—they interviewed a Muslim cartoonist from France who is now operating out of Berkeley, Khalil Bendib—and his main concern was–surprise, surprise!–a non-existent “backlash” against Muslims in France.

    From the KCBS post:

    “Khalil Bendib, who lives in Berkeley, said he fears…a backlash against Muslims in France”

    What crap. We hear about this after every homicidal Jihad attack. The civilized French did not target Muslims in France after the Mohamed Merah mass shootings, nor did Westrners after 9/11 in the US, 7/7 in Britain, or the Madrid Train Bombings in Spain. It is all false Muslim victim-mongering.

    And this was before the bodies of the *actual* Infidel victims of his vicious coreligionists were even cold.

    And here’s one of Bendib’s sickening cartoons, where he sneers at 9/11 and the idea that Jihadists hate American freedom:

    https://www.facebook.com/KCBSRadio/posts/10153022696641108

    Many must find his repulsive sneering pro-Jihad sentiments offensive, but of course no one in the civilized West is threatening him.

    Also in the post:

    “’It just shows you how dangerous this profession that we have really is,’ said Khalil Bendib, America’s best-known Muslim political cartoonist…”

    He doesn’t say, of course, that the threat comes *almost entirely* from Muslims. Charlie Hebdo regularly makes fun of Catholics and other Christians, religion in general, politics and politicians, and every social foible you can think of. They might have gotten a few irate letters from time to time, but the death threats came from ravening Muslims. So did the fire bombing:

    “Firebombed French paper reprints Muhammad cartoon that got it bombed”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/11/firebombed-french-paper-reprints-muhammad-cartoon-that-got-it-bombed

    Brave Charlie Hebdo came back from the firebombing, but I don’t know if they’ll be able to come back from this horrifying massacre that has taken the lives of twelve of its staff members, including its most famous cartoonists.

    As despicable as the attack was (the victims were mostly unarmed after-all) the reason behind the attacks is clear. It also serves as a warning to both the Left and the Right…but most especially to the Left.

    The warning coming from the Islamists is this.

    ‘Careful how you treat other peoples belief systems. Especially their religious ones.’

    This magazine prided itself in mocking other peoples beliefs. And as you so clearly observe, they mocked everything except the Left.

    Astonishingly : they thought that the French Police (which they despise) would somehow protect them from assault. How wrong they were.

    Now, the governments of Europe will all join hands in public lamentations and cry crocodile tears over the fall of European civility. But in a few weeks time it will all be back to the business of politically burying their heads in the sand.

    Nothing will change, and the Islamists will go from one outrage to another. This should not be a surprise, since the Left has spent the last 50 years courting sympathy for the plight of so called middle eastern ‘victims’ of both the West, of American Imperialism and of the state of Israel.

    One day the Left will wake up : only to find that the very Islamists they support will be turning up at their doors with knives in their hands. But by then it will be too late.

    Not only was Mo the ham ed a phony prophet but he also had a six year old sex slave Aisha who of course the media will falsely claim its his wife…LOL Oh and the cow ran does too!
    Only Jesus is Lord and Savior who can save us from the phony faith of pork islam and the phony liberal press….The news media is so polluted.

    Yes, the carnage likely will fuel anti-Islam sentiment, just as the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1942 fueled anti-Hirohito sentiment and Germany’s bombing of London fueled anti-Hitler sentiment.
