Useful Idiots

By Richard Stokes - posted Wednesday, 3 February 2016


Yet, given the danger from militant Islam, who could object to the desire to have some safeguards against the infiltration of potential terrorists under the guise of "refugees" or "asylum seekers"? Ordinary citizens do not live with the same safety as political and church leaders - the former have bodyguards and the latter have security devices at their places of work and residence.

Kepel rejoices that terrorists in Paris and San Bernardino, USA, "have made what appears to be a strategic error because they have not succeeded in mobilising widespread Muslim support". But where is the error? The local Muslims know the landscape, and since they are still a small minority, they are smart enough to bide their time, moving incrementally for the acceptance of sharia, just as they do in Australia.

The constant accusation that the problems of Muslims are created by "Islamophobia" indicates an acceptance that Islam is somehow equivalent to Christianity, and that if we get to know Muslims, they will like us and become friendly, and not burn cars or rape white girls so often.

This is the NOT the approach taken by the Americans at Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt could have simply said that the US had been attacked by a few planes from the Imperial Japanese Navy. These pilots were out of line, and just wait until the Emperor hears about it. They will be severely disciplined.

No. We are at war with Islam. And Islam with us. There are many roadblocks to peaceful negotiation. Islam expects Muslims to lie to non-believers (taqiyya). Peace treaties are really breathing spaces where Muslims re-arm and get ready to continue their conquest. Ask Israel.

There is the argument that Islam needs a reformation, just like Christianity. The task is formidable. Islamic supremacists will have to give up their sex-slaves, their four wives, their easy divorce (for men, that is), and much of the Qur'an. Here are some of the verses:

2:191 Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.

3:28 Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.

3:85 Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.

5:33 Maim and crucify the infidels if hey criticise Islam.

8:12 Terrorise and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an.

8:60 Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorise the infidels.
