A MLP Related Memorial Day Thought

May 25, 2015 07:01

Last night I slept safe in my bed and awoke after a good night's sleep. I did not fear that, in the night, the enemies of my country would come and destroy my house and kill myself or my wife or any of my loved ones. I take this for granted, as do most Americans. Even though I know better, having extensively studied both military and social ( Read more... )

I will not use the term "radical islam" any more. There is no such thing as radical islam. There is only islam.

They aren't perverting it, they're practicing it. They aren't disobeying, they're among to few (who at this point*) are willing to openly obey.

* - "When this order became known to the champions of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death. One hundred thousand infidels, impious idolaters, were slain on that day. Maulana Nasir-ad-din Omar, a counsellor and man of learning, who had never killed a sparrow in all his life, now, in execution of my order, killed fifteen idolatrous Hindus, who were his captives." - Tamerlane

+1, was just thinking that.

The thing about Islam is that it is a bully-philosophy; essentially a way to run a society through bullying on a massive scale. Its great weakness is that it cannot compete freely under Natural Law with other sucbcultural patterns; it can only triumph where its bullying is aided by special legal status. On the largest scale, it succeeds on the battlefield only by superior aggression and suicidal bravery: this only works when it has either overwhelming numbers on its side, or it faces a demoralized, divided or unprofessional foe. The special circumstances of the wars between the Eastern Romans and the Persians, and the religious divisions within the Eastern Roman Empire, gave this noxious meme a chance to spread beyond the land of its origin in the first place ( ... )

What you said reminds me of a thought I had: radical feminism doesn't exist. Second wave feminism was founded by Red diaper babies as a marxist propaganda instrument like all ideas descended from critical theory. The very nature of "patriarchy" and their desire to eliminate inevitably end in the destruction of the family and American values.

I'm far more pessimistic. There is a great evil that has once again risen up among the peace-loving nations of the world; one perhaps even more evil than National Socialism under Hitler, yet we are barely raising a finger against it. Talk about lessons of history - how many uncountable number of times did I hear when I was younger, "If only we'd taken out Hitler before he started his wars and slaughter. Tens of millions of lives could have been saved." BUT, back then, enough people thought - it's none of our business, and Hitler isn't such a bad guy, after all, he's just misunderstood - that we DIDN'T do anything to stop him while we could. And rivers of blood flowed through the civilized world.

Today, once again, another great evil is rising, but now, our cowardly leaders won't even acknowledge its existence, or even speak its name, let alone act decisively to contain it. ISIS is still at this point eminently defeatable. Their numbers are tiny compared to the armies of the West. But we're not doing it. Why? Because the West is now a ( ... )

It's not been widely reported, but a recent Arabic language poll by Al-Jazeera indicates that 81% of participants support ISIS.

Yes, there's that. Part of me wants to say, let's just let these savages fight it out amongst themselves and hopefully they'll kill enough of each other off that their civilizations (such as they are) ultimately collapse. But... nuclear weapons. That alone is why we must go on the offensive against IS and Iran, and soon. We MUST neutralize and destroy this evil before they acquire nukes, which they WILL do, and which they WILL use on the West and Israel without hesitation.

The sad thing is, I don't believe Obama or any Western nation would retaliate if IS or Iran used nukes against us. Israel would, for sure, but not the West. Our response to Islamic nuke attacks would be to just tuck our tails in even further and cower like beaten puppies, and go on appeasing our new Muslim masters. Remember the Obama Doctrine: "The US will never be at war with Islam." That's the one promise he's made that I fully expect him to keep.

I noticed that the French launched counterattacks against AQ-AP after the Charlie Hebdo attack, for instance. Both countries have large and aggressive Muslim minorities, but I think that both countries are starting to awake to the danger ( ... )
