      The UK have BANNED Pam Geller and Robert Spencer who are not allowed into the country but has no problem allowing ~700 British jihadis back into the country after fighting for ISIS in Syria.
      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3081587/British-terror-suspects-numbering-700-travelled-Syria-half-returned.html

      “Britain faces growing threat from 350 jihadis back from Syria who may be plotting attacks in the UK says top anti-terror officer,”….

      ‘Islamic State and other terrorist groups are trying to direct attacks in the UK, encouraging British citizens to travel to Syria to fight and train. They are seeking, through propaganda, to provoke individuals in the UK to carry out violent attacks here.

      ‘There is no doubt of the horrific nature of the offences being committed overseas. The influence of those who wish to bring similar violence to the streets of the UK has been an increasing threat here.’

      New figures reveal there were a record 338 arrests for suspected terrorism offences in 2014/15, an increase of a third on the previous year. Of the arrests, 11 per cent were women and almost one in five (17 per cent) were teenagers…..

      The USA is not immune with 1.6 million visas to muslims since 9/11. 3/4 million are muslims from ‘hot spots’ countries. Many teenagers and young adults are now trying to head for Syria to join ISIS.

      ” ISIS Promises ‘Harsher’ Attacks On American Soil,” By tomfernandez28, May 15, 2015
      The group said that “The next six months will be interesting.”
      http://tomfernandez28.com/2015/05/15/isis-promises-harsher-attacks-on-american-soil/

      …The Islamic State made the announcement on its official radio station as reported by CNN: “We say to the defenders of the cross, the U.S., that future attacks are going to be harsher and worse. The Islamic State soldiers will inflict harm on you with the grace of God. The future is just around the corner.”

      According to Agence France Presse, the jihadi group further stated during its announcement:

      Two of the soldiers of the caliphate executed an attack on an art exhibit in Garland, Texas, and this exhibit was portraying negative pictures of the Prophet Mohammad … We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of ISIS do terrible things….

      • Doug says:

        “If you are not afraid of a mad man with a machine gun then you are bat s##t crazy too!”

        The cop in Garland showed he wasn’t afraid. That was some bad ass pistol work, and the proper response to madmen with machine guns.

        • Gail Combs says:

          If you are afraid some mad islam jihadist is going to shoot up your town or blow-up city hall then you start carrying, you pay attention and you ready to do something about it.

          The word ‘afraid’ does not cancel out the word courage. What the cop showed was COURAGE because he was afraid those A$$h..les were gone to kill people. Pam Geller was afraid the muslims would not allow free speech in a PRIVATE INDOOR BUILDING so she hired a truck load of security.

          There is nothing wrong with fear or being afraid. It is nature’s way of helping you stay alive. The problem is when the PC propaganda short circuits a healthy state of fear and leave you or your country wide open to murder by your enemies.

          The left has INTENTIONALLY left us wide open for take over. They have know the plans for ten years and we are in phase 6 of the plan that was laid out.

          “Total Confrontation” 2016 – Al Qaeda

          Back in 2005 an Al Qaeda commander, interviewed by Der Spiegel, set out the timetable for imposing Islamic rule on the West by force. There are seven phases, of which four are already behind us: we are now in phase 5: “2013-2015 … Declaration of the Caliphate”. This leaves:

          6. 2016 onwards, “Total Confrontation”;

          7. “Definitive Victory”.

          …. Cameron authoritatively declares that Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. He is wrong. The well-versed Caliph is following the example of Mohammed, who beheaded unarmed captives – hundreds of them – after they had given themselves up. Mohammed also authorised the rape of captive women, selling them and their children as sex slaves for his mujahideen, his fighters. All these gruesome actions have been happening in Islamic State’s Caliphate, all true to the “beautiful pattern” of Islam’s “perfect man”.

          Here is what Islam stipulates for non-Muslims, the kuffar:

          “Okay, they have three choices, either they became a Muslim, or they have to pay the jizya, or to be killed.”

          In Islam’s ideology non-Muslims, because they do not follow the true path, sharia, are guilty. If they refuse the ‘invitation’ to Islam they have to be killed:

          “And whoever is a disbeliever, his wealth is legal for a Muslim to take and his blood is legal to spill. His blood is like the blood of a dog; there is no sin for him in spilling it nor is there any blood money to be paid for doing such.” – Islamic State press release

          This is all correct Islamic teaching, with nothing ‘extremist’ about it: it is just ordinary basic Islam, its usual ideological political movement.

        The UK has a serious issue caused by the PC Left and Liberals. Most Non-Moslems as afraid of Islam and more afraid of saying so. The Left were totally shocked and horrified when an “uncaring” Tory party was voted in with a clear majority of seats when opinion polls said the Tories were neck and neck with Labour. So much so that a former Lib-Dem politician said he’d eat his hat if the exit polls predicting a Tory win were correct, a Labour advisor also said on the same programme he’d eat his kilt. Neither event has happened so far.

        They’d be even more shocked if there were a referendum on what to do with these jihadis in particular and Islamic extremists in general. Only politicians of the left are crazy enough to think they can be integrated into a multi-cultural society

          “Only politicians of the left are crazy enough to think they can be integrated into a multi-cultural society”

          Without such integration then is the society truly multicultural ?. Some people might describe the influx of Polish or other east European nationals as the creation of ‘multiculturalism’ ….but a majority white christian nation accepting people from another majority white christian nation is difficult for me to describe as multicultural.

          Not everyone in the UK is afraid of muslims, and not all of those who lack fear are leftists, or fools.

          In fact, is the inclusion of a religious group going to produce multiculturalism in itself ?

          TRANSCRIPTION

          Published on May 19, 2013

          When Muslim organizations invite Shaykhs who speak openly about the values of Islam, the Islamophobic western media starts murdering the character of that organization and the invited speaker. The question these Islamophobic journalists need to reflect upon is; are these so called ”radical” views that they criticize endorsed only by these few individuals being invited around the globe, or does the common Muslims believe in them. If the common Muslims believe in these values that means that more or less all Muslims are radical and that Islam is a radical religion. Since this is not the case, as Islam is a peaceful religion and so are the masses of common Muslims, these Shaykhs cannot be radical. [A really nice bit of circular reasoning — gc] Rather it is Islamophobia from the ignorant western media who is more concerned about making money by alienating Islam by presenting Muslims in this way. Islam Net, an organization in Norway, invited 9 speakers to Peace Conference Scandinavia 2013. These speakers would most likely be labelled as ”extremists” if the media were to write about the conference.

          But how come this conference was the largest Islamic Scandinavian International event that has taken place in Norway with about 4000 people attending? Were the majority of those who attended in opposition to what the speakers were preaching? If so, how come they paid to enter? Let’s forget about that for a moment, let’s imagine that we don’t really knew what all these people thought about for example segregation of men and women, or stoning to death of those who commit adultery. The Chairman of Islam Net, Fahad Ullah Qureshi asked the audience, and the answer was clear. The attendees were common Sunni Muslims. They did not consider themselves as radicals or extremists. They believed that segregation was the right thing to do, both men and women agreed upon this. They even supported stoning or whatever punishment Islam or prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded for adultery or any other crime. They even believed that these practises should be implemented around the world. Now what does that tell us? Either all Muslims and Islam is radical, or the media is Islamophobic and racist in their presentation of Islam. Islam is not radical, nor is Muslims in general radical. That means that the media is the reason for the hatred against Muslims, which is spreading among the non-Muslims in western countries….

          So there you have it. If you do not you consider:
          1. making non-muslims pay a tax and submit to second class status.
          2. tossing gays off building or
          3. stoning to death women accused of rape or adultery
          4. beheading of non-muslims who resist converting or submitting to second class status.
          5. segregation and no education for women
          .
          .
          .
          RADICAL then I guess you are OK with islamification.

          “It AIN’T A PHOBIA when they are out to KILL. It is a justified FEAR.”
          It is a phobia (please notice that shouting is not required) Viruses are out to kill you, bacteria are out to kill you, motor cars (which kill many more than all the “terrorists” combined), are out to kill you, pharmaceutical drugs are out to kill you, the police are out to kill you (see motor cars above).
          Phobia is an unreasonable fear. Your fears are unreasonable! Your continuing rants (and that is what they are) are both disagreeable and neurotic. You suffer from OCD, it is treatable if you get help soon enough. I know that this will mean that you have to leave the house, and put yourself at risk from the “Muslims” hiding behind every tree, that the people on the street are “Muslims” in disguise and will get you if they can, and that the therapist will probably be a “Muslim” sympathiser, who will without a doubt try to kill you, but nonetheless, your sickness needs treatment.
          The easiest treatment is to read the CIA (and FBI) whistleblowers, who will tell you, that every single “terrorist” incident in USA in the last thirty years was a false-flag! Carried out to invoke the very fears that you are exhibiting. Yes there are Muslims involved, they are usually severally retarded (oops, mentally challenged) brought into the plot by either money or by misdirection, or by drugs (read about Rohypnol) to cover the the tracks of Cheyney, his ilk, and his handlers.
          You fall for the smoke and mirrors and “fear for your life”, fine but let the rest of us read about the internet, and climate change, and other topics without your obsessions, compulsions and phobias being intruded on every, yes every, topic.
          If you are not being paid by the Zionists to push this nonsense, then it is even worse, you are completely brainwashed by their lies.

          By the way, being able to copy-and-paste vast quantities of irrelevant twaddle does not make you either an expert or believable.

          Please get a life, stick to the topic of the article, make our lives easier, or at least more pleasant.

          PJ London,

          You really appear to be suffering from a serious mental delusion.

          Islam must eventually be outlawed by the world, as a terrorist religion. It is one thing to watch those complete maniacs deliberately destroy 2,500 years of history in cities like Palmyra, or dynamite giant Buddha statues trying to justify their insane religion of hatred.

          But anyone who gives Islam a pass like you do, for its wanton murder, slavery, and all the other crimes against humanity that they commit on a daily basis, is no more or less than an accessory to murder. An enabler.

          That’s you. You are excusing horrific crimes that would never be tolerated by you or anyone else if they were committed by Christians, or the Boy Scouts, or any other group. Why should Islamic murderers get special consideration?

          I suppose you’ve somehow rationalized your complete insanity and total lack of any civilized morals. That’s your problem. The rest of us see you for exactly what you are: someone who casually excuses the most heinous crimes since Pol Pot murdered a third of his countrymen and women, and stacked their bleached skulls in eight foot high piles. And he wasn’t one-half as bad as your Islamist haters.

          What the hell is wrong with you?!

          To Smokey
          So we should go out and kill all Budhists!
          Pol Pot and his crowd were Budhists and therefore we should kill them all.
          The Christians should have been wiped out 1000 years ago
          The English have should be destroyed for marching on India and killing thousands. (in the name of “Civilising” them)
          The Sikhs should wiped out, Shintoists of course, Zoroastrans were the troops of the persians, Jews for multiple and horrific murders through the ages, Taoists, all Africans with their murderous ancestor worship, anyone who believes in the Occult.
          This only leaves the Scientologists and a couple of sun worshippers in the south of France.
          Your BS is even greater than your ignorance.
          Try a) a little learning, and b) a little humility, and c) getting a new approach, this one is soooooo old.
          (You could try to pin your hate campaign on their political beliefs. It is because they are Communists, no Anarchists, no Corporatists, no Democtas, no Labour etc etc. Different names, same old devisive crud, What about blaming their “Race” or language?)
          We don’t have to ask what is wrong with you, it is apparent, you are a paid hate monger.
          I see that you have changed your “nom” to “Smokey” but your agenda to insert Anti-Muslim hate into every forum continues.

    “Only politicians of the left are crazy enough to think they can be integrated into a multi-cultural society”

    Without such integration then is the society truly multicultural?
    WHO SAID MULTICULTURALISM IS GOOD????

    Assimilation where the person joining a new country adopts the customs of that country is fine. My maternal grandfather was from Syria. My paternal grandfather was from Denmark My maternal great-grandfather from england and My paternal grandmother from Germany. The last maternal grandmother goes back to Alexander Hamilton with some French tossed in. Not only am I an American so were my parents AND grandparents because they ADOPTED the customs of this country.

    I have a plan to destroy America [Richard D. Lamm, former governor of Colorado]
    I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that “an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” Here is my plan:

    We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset, put it this way: “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon – all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with its Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”

    I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important. I would declare it an article of faith that the black and Hispanic dropout rate is only due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out-of-bounds.

    We can make the United States a “Hispanic Quebec” without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently, “The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved, not by tolerance, but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically, and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.” I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor. It is important to insure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences, rather than Americans emphasizing their similarities.

    Having done all this, I would make our fastest-growing demographic group the least educated – I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from school.

    I would then get the big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of victimology. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was all the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.

    I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would “celebrate diversity.” “Diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other – that is, when they are not killing each other. A “diverse,” peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together, and we can take advantage of this myopia. Look at the ancient Greeks. Dorf’s “World History” tells us: “The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games in honor of Zeus, and all Greeks venerated the shrine of Apollo at Delphi. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet, all of these bonds together were not strong enough to overcome two factors … (local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions …)” If we can put the emphasis on the “pluribus,” instead of the “unum,” we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.

    Then I would place all these subjects off-limits – make it taboo to talk about. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century – that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like “racist”, “xenophobe” halt argument and conversation. Having made America a bilingual-bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of “victimology,” I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra – “because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good.” I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact.

    Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” – this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America. So please, please – if you feel that America deserves to be destroyed – please, please – don’t buy this book! This guy is on to my plan. “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” – Noam Chomsky, American linguist and U.S. media and foreign policy critic.

    So take your multiculturalism and stuff it where the sun don’t shine. We are on to your tricks!

      I merely applied logic to the term multiculturalism and you get upset ? Do all grammatical corrections piss you off ?

      What I note in the quoted material , is that it is probably all true….but with the proviso that the people of different cultures all live under an oppressive authoritarian government, or at least a government powered by powerful interests in the form of elected representatives.

      You see, I am starting to think that elected representatives, in ‘pick-a-puppet’ governments , like the US, like the UK, are flawed to begin with. They can never satisfactorily represent the wishes of the people , so when you have different cultures in a society and when it comes to the government representatives courting those cultures for votes through targeted appeals the end results will be lies, envy and broken promises….in short, all the things which already cause short term politics to fail the electorate, only more so.

      A democracy is supposed to be somewhere where the people have direct input on policy matters. Anything else is a nanny state, people-quieting and ignorant system

      The people will do what the government tells them – the government just makes sure they present the right faces to the people to keep the people electing those faces in a state of pointless hope that they will be involved in a process which allows them to change the way things are

      If people were instead able to vote directly on policies, through a process of referendum cycles (like in Switzerland) , then you could possibly get direct input by people on policies which represent the cares of the people ‘of the time’. In a multicultural system nobody could ever feel a need to be envious of another group which appeared to be getting a better deal from the government.

      Of all of the studies I have seen about multiculturalism, those which say it is good and those which say it is bad, all assume there is an overarching political structure which provides a framework for discussion, but the material structure of the framework is constructed from people within the government – the electorate are assumed to be powerless.

      Either the narratives in those reports need to change, or the way we govern ourselves needs to change.

    As always, thank you Gail. I totally agree that we are on a path leading directly to the loss of every value we have traditionally cherished. I believe God helps those who help themselves. I own a gun.
