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

Raymond Ibrahim: Are Nonstop Muslim Atrocities the “New Norm”?

Aug 26, 2016 7:51 am By Raymond Ibrahim

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls delivers a speech to present his 50 billion euro savings plan ahead of a vote at the national assembly in Paris

As hardly a few days pass without some Islamic terror attack in the West—recently and as of this writing an “Allahu Akbar” shouting Muslim man stabbed a Jew in France and an “Allahu Akbar” screaming Muslim woman ran over two policemen in Canada—the West risks becoming desensitized to and seeing Islamic violence as “just another part of life.”

The words and deeds of Western leaders are not helping.  After the Islamic terror attack in Nice, France, where 84 were killed, counterterrorism chief Patrick Calvar said: “Today, France is clearly the most threatened country.  The question about the threat is not to know ‘if’ but ‘when’ and ‘where’.” Prime Minister Manuel Valls declared that “Terrorism … is a threat that weighs heavily on France and will continue doing so for a long time.”

As if such resignation wasn’t bad enough, at the memorial event for the 84 Nice victims, Valls declared, “Times have changed and we should learn to live with terrorism.”

Actually, the main thing to change with time in France is its demography.  The largest Muslim population of Europe resides there and, in accordance’s with Islam’s Rule of Numbers, is the real reason why France “should learn to live with terrorism.”

More apathy was in the air during the Munich massacre, where a Muslim gunman killed nine.

While somberly addressing the massacre still in progress—with the usual boilerplate “our hearts go out to [X victim of terror]”—U.S. President Obama managed to crack a joke, grin, chuckle, and draw laughter from his audience.

After all, what is the big deal?  Shouldn’t we be used to Muslims rampaging and killing by now?  And really, what’s nine dead compared to the many hundreds killed by Islamic terrorists around the world in recent weeks?

As for the leader of the nation where the attack took place, Angela Merkel waited almost 24 hours before she delivered yet another perfunctory speech containing all the usual words, condolences, and platitudes.

Then again, what was the hurry? Muslims abusing, raping, and killing Germans in Germany is old hat.  A new poll by ZDF found that a record 75 percent of Germans “expect”—which is not unlike accept—more terror attacks in their nation.  Must a statement be made after every single one?!

Needless to say, lesser Islamic terror attacks which once would’ve been extremely newsworthy and received condemnation from the highest echelons of the political wrung now receive perfunctory or no media coverage and little comment.

On July 18 in Germany, another “Allahu Akbar” shouting, axe-waving Muslim attacked train passengers and critically injured five.  The next day, on July 19 in France, a Muslim man stabbed a woman and her three daughters—the eight-year-old was left with a punctured lung and in critical condition—for being “scantily dressed.”

No immediate comments from Merkel and Valls.  (See here for numerous other examples of “minor” and “everyday” Muslim “disturbances” in Europe—such as vandalizing churches and urinating on St. Mary statues—that get little or no coverage or comment.)

Western people had better wise up: in the field of behavioral psychology, “systematic desensitization” is a well-known and effective form of graduated exposure therapy used “to help effectively overcome phobias and other anxiety disorders.”  Consider the following succinct definition with my relevant examples in brackets:

Systematic desensitization is when the client [the West] is exposed to the anxiety-producing stimulus [Islamic violence] at a low level [reports and images of Islamic violence “over there” in the Mideast], and once no anxiety is present a stronger version of the anxiety-producing stimulus is given [reports of violence closer to home, in the West]. This continues until the individual client [the West] no longer feels any anxiety towards the stimulus [Islamic violence].

Is this the plan?  Are the “global elite” producing situations, such as the manufactured “migrant crisis,” that cause the West to experience incrementally worse forms of Islamic violence, until it becomes desensitized, loses its “phobia”—in this case, “Islamophobia”—and simply “learns to live with terrorism,” in the words of France’s prime minister?

Indeed, if the attacks were to fall back to, say, just once a month, many might accept that as a “positive step” they can live with—at least in comparison to what they’ve been seeing, including four savage Islamic attacks in one recent week in Germany alone.

“Conspiracy theories” aside, a much better way exists.  Acknowledge the truth—Islam is inherently violent and intolerant—and build policies on this truth.  A ban on or serious vetting of Muslim immigration—which a majority of Americans support—and close monitoring of already existing mosques and Islamic centers would virtually eliminate Islamic terror from America.

For the fact remains: unlike natural disasters—earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, and the like—we actually do not need to “live with” Islam.

          Right. And absolutely no mention of Jihad. That would be “islamophobic” and besides everyone knows they’re all just mentally ill not to mention misunderstanders of their religion. Did I leave out an excuse? Oh, they’re poor, disaffected and marginalized, all Europe’s fault.

      You left out that the American Secretary of States takes an “Over-the-hill singer who was never very good anyway” to serenade them. That has to be one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of the US.

    Good article.
    The general silence — and ignorance too when people rely on MSM– is indeed astounding. Maybe to many it still feels far away or a small percentage. The atrociousness outweighs that in any case, I believe.
    On top of that, the Church’s lack of direction is disheartening. We know the only One stronger than this great evil unleashed on the world and Christians deserve guidance– not to be told to put on blindfolds.

      If your meaning is that we need guidance from the Pope of Rome, no thanks. Not just his Pope, but any old man in a dress.

    Yes it’s the new norm. And after a few years, one morning you will wake up with the prettiest sound of earth for many, the muslims calling from their minarets. And it will be normal then. It’s the will of mohammad

    I am also wondering how much we are not being told. IE, two nuns in Mississippi stabbed to death, 1 killed and two injured with a crossbow in Canada….We get articles saying these things happened but nothing about the perpetrators.

    • Kay says

      Aug 26, 2016 at 9:03 am

      God help us! I saw two nuns were killed. But the article I saw didn’t even say “stabbed.”
      Yes, makes me suspicious.

    • 762x51FMJ says

      Aug 26, 2016 at 3:30 pm

      The police at first claimed they did not know the cause of death,but that the nuns were not shot.
      They said it was an ” Isolated incident” a simple robbery gone awry.

      Now they say they were stabbed, But aren’t saying if they were decapitated…

      #1 Robbers usually don’t make a big score by robbing nuns, rosaries and bibles aren’t hi end pawn items.
      .
      #2 The voracity of this murder has the earmarks of a religious killing.

      #3 the lack of information by the press and police makes it appear as though they are covering it up.

    Trump seems to understand that with his extreme sharia vetting idea…
    Hillary will encourage more sharia immigration resulting in more jihad in America…No one can explain why the USA ‘needs’ any immigration at all…

      All part of the New World Order. Countries with no borders. A general free-for-all. Anybody can move anywhere and cross-breed to form populations with no national roots, to be more easily ruled by the “elite.”. The populations will be essentially dumbed down idiots bent in entertainment supplied by their masters who will profit from it enormously: –

      David Rockefeller, Speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton and by Dan Quayle–

      “We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
      Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended
      our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost
      forty years.”

      “It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world
      if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.
      But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a
      world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite
      and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

      by: David Rockefeller (1915- ) Internationalist billionaire, CFR kingpin, founder of the Trilateralist Commission, World Order Godfather.

      Note how the MSM are praised for keeping the secret for over 40 years. NOW DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON?

        That quote is bogus and part of “conspiracy world.” I am no David Rockefeller fan but silly conspiracy theories put forth here at JW DO NOT advance the anti-jihad cause at all. Indeed, such theories harm and belittle it.

        Cut it out already with the New World Order (NWO) rot. It’s just a matter of sheer stupidity and ignorance and NOT some giant conspiracy.

        Learn. (But you won’t).

          Oh, and how do YOU know? Please enlighten us. Everything I see confirms that the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan is in full operation, right down to the annual C-K Prize awards to the people furthering it’s cause – Heath, Jenkins, Bill Clinton, Blair, Junker, Merkel, Van Rompuy, Tusk, Schultz, Pope Francis.

          Please explain why our politicians sit back and do nothing while Islamists invade, murder & rape those in the West. On the contrary they actively encourage it by admitting 100’s of thousands more “immigrants.” They could stop it tomorrow if they wanted to, but they don’t. I eagerly await your answer.

    Obama’s (Can’t we just move on? narrative.)

    For insight into Obama’s soul — Must see link in article
    (While) somberly addressing the massacre still in progress

    From a muttered “our hearts go out to” — He segues to a joke.
    In other words he is really saying, just forget about it.

    • Jay Boo says

      Aug 26, 2016 at 11:03 am

      In reference to the link.
      Our alleged biracial and Black Lives Matter is a RACIST.

      Obama is clearly saying White lives don’t matter with his joke.
      Obama is a JOKE.

    If one of the victims were a family member what would you do?

    1 — Would you be quiet and passive?
    or
    2 — Would Muslims need to adjust to a New Norm?

    • Kay says

      Aug 26, 2016 at 11:10 am

      Good point. And a question I think every western leader and every “progressive” should be asking: what if that were my loved one?

      • Carolyne says

        Aug 28, 2016 at 10:57 am

        It will never be a “Loved one” of a Western leader. They are too well guarded by big men with (Oh no!) guns.

    Step by step islamization. In Sweden there is a strap to wear around the waist, saying ” No pawing. ” Very effective. However not against violence. Do not know who thinks that it is good and against what? Not even in arabic, language just in Swedish.
    There is anyway such a thing. Media likes it. They have not criticized or questioned it.
    So called ” Open heart ” politics. Arabstates being closed to Western values, while Europe being open to Arabic.

      Correction: To ” paw ” in Swedish is ” tafsa “. As on the straps.

      A chastity belt might reduce the incidents of rape but not a walking advertisement.

    Mainland Europe couldn’t weait to murder its Jews 75 years ago. How ironic that they’ve replaced those Jews with Muslims who are now murdering their descendants.
