The Cancer Of Islam

Islamic terrorist attack: Nice, France on July 14, 2016 (Bastille Day).

Jihad by heavy truck, driven by a jihadist who originated from Tunisia and lived in France.

The Arab Spring began in Tunisia.

The jihadist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove the truck for over a mile through the packed street and on the sidewalks.

Metastatic cancer.

Carnage.

Whether or not the West acknowledges it.

    First, find the locus of the demonstrably virulent cluster of cells and excise it.
    Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals to attack the cells.
    Explosives are chemicals.
    Of course, the analogy begs the use of radiation therapy.

      Yes!

      And because the West has waited so long, what it will take to convince them that violent jihad is not the will of Allah will be draconian.

      Frankly, I'm not convinced that the West can convince an estimated 15,000,000 radicals about the peaceful will of Allah. The Medinan verses of the Quran say what they say.

    3. I'm thinking God's probably on the side of a faith that doesn't encourage truckers to drive through crowds, or kill people in a rock concert (disemboweling and cutting off sex organs, which is now being reported in France), etc etc.

  3. Thanks to decades of feckless western leaders welcoming in people whose culture, religion and beliefs are incompatible with Western Liberal Democracy, Islam has taken root in the west, and it is now impossible to quash its malign influences without creating an enormous humanitarian crisis and punishing millions of innocent people who now call the west home.

    AOW mentioned Obama's execrable and horribly inappropriate speech at the Dallas Police Officers' funeral. Notice how he and all the other activists now pro-forma group together "African Americans, Hispanics, gays and lesbians and Muslims?"

    In the activist narrative, they are all victims of white Christian oppression. Obama and his fellow foot soldiers are inciting hatred and fomenting violence.

    3. Sad how those who profess to be champions of Western values like openness, diversity, tolerance, democracy and liberty are ironically hastening our demise.

      Islam darkens every society is proliferates in. No society in the modern age has been improved or enlightened by Muslims installing themselves there in great numbers. (We enjoy great accomplishment of individual Muslims in this country, but Islam adds nothing).

      Counterexamples are myriad, Lebanon being just the latest.

    4. This guy was an odd sort of Muslim, siverfiddle.

      Reports are that he hung out in bars drinking and gambling. Didn't attend a mosque and had a pretty good record of assaults.

      Beat his wife (potent red flag) and kept to himself.
      So you tell me just what set him off but it doesn't sound like a religiously motivated perp.

      One of the very first victims was an older veiled muslim woman, probably just a coincidence.

      But just a few anti-muslim laws and Sparky's enlightened glassing of the mideast will fix it all and expose fundamentalists for what they are at the same time. Can't loose.

No big attacks yet...hundreds not told here. Why would the lib media, eager to support Obama on bringing refugees here, want to play THAT up? That would be as suicidal to the Lib agenda as admitting Germans DO PAY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE...and, brother, DO they.

      Germans are getting raped, burgled, knifed, shot, killed, maimed, overrun and threatened with SIGNS in marches "WE WILL TAKE OVER". This is keeping the Islamists too busy for a major attack. Plus, the Germans don't negotiate, as they didn't do in that movie theater terror attack a month ago, they WENT IN AND KILLED THE MURDERER. We can't wrap our heads around the fact that MURDERERS DON"T DESERVE NEGOTIATION.

      To our great peril.

    7. I didn't ridicule any report, Farmer. I asked a very logical question.

      The answer goes to the credibility of the report.

      What becomes obvious is that you have no tolerance for logical inquiry. If something challenges some web page that supports your position you just put your fingers in your ears and hum "la-la-la" real loud.

      In this case the source of the accusation is a tabloid site very recently started by the ever objective Rupert Murdoch who know doubt sees an opportunity in the Breitfart space.

      Again, more than 600 people escaped the attack and not one mentioned an act of torture. Even if there was a coverup in the French government's report there was nothing to prevent a survivor from telling the story. Not one did. Why not ?

      But if a Breitfart type site publishes a rumor and the news aggregators run with it you'll eat everything they put on your plate and you give me the tone?

  13. Comment from Infidel Bloggers Alliance:

    The narrative now is that "he was not a Muslim.... he drank.... he never attended mosque.... blah blah, ad nauseum.

    Anyone remember the 9/11 "non-Muslims" who also drank alcohol, attended strip clubs, etc.

    The other script is "he was depressed" and "he was going through a divorce".

    Fifty percent of Americans have endured walking through a divorce. They do no plow the street and turn it into a killing field.

    Many Americans suffer from depression. They do not line up the wheels of the truck to go 'round and round' over baby buggies.

    Yes, Islam is doing this. It really is the trigger.

      We will never know just how powerful recruiting tools these spectacular attacks are. Other Muslims see these attacks and think, "Aha! Here is the will of Allah."

      This concept of the will of Allah is strong in Islam -- and always has been. Well beyond the Christian concept of the will of the Lord -- and is one explanation as to why "moderate" Muslims are so silent.

      I learned about this from Dr. Tawfik Hamid when he and I sat down face to face for hours back in 2006.

      If he was simply a sociopath who decided to go out in a blaze that is a much more serious situation because many will be prone to further alienate the resident population and you probably make the situation worse.

      The attackers in France are not Syrian or Iraqi refugees. They are not Egyptians or Libyans. Rather they are from former French colonies, Algeria and Tunisia. Is that something that gives any insight?

      A. Hennacy, "The Book of Ammon" (1965)

      The dictionary definition of a Christian is one who follows Christ; kind, kindly, Christ-like. Anarchism is voluntary cooperation for good, with the right of secession. A Christian anarchist is therefore one who turns the other cheek, overturns the tables of the moneychangers, and does not need a cop to tell him how to behave. A Christian anarchist does not depend upon bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal; he achieves that ideal daily by the One-Man Revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused, and dying world.

  21. More grist for the mill:


    AP EXPLAINS: THE CLERIC BEING BLAMED FOR TURKEY COUP ATTEMPT
    A lawyer for the Turkish government, Robert Amsterdam, said that "there are indications of direct involvement" in the coup attempt by Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric who is living in exile in Pennsylvania. He said he and his firm "have attempted repeatedly to warn the U.S. government of the threat posed" by Gulen and his movement. According to Turkish intelligence sources, he said, "there are signs that Gulen is working closely with certain members of military leadership against the elected civilian government."
    The president of a group that promotes Gulen's ideas, the New York-based Alliance for Shared Values, denied the charges. Y. Alp Aslandogan told The Associated Press "we categorically deny such accusations and find them to be highly irresponsible." Earlier in the evening, the alliance said, "we condemn any military intervention in (the) domestic politics of Turkey."

    WHO IS FETHULLAH GULEN?

    Trained as an imam, or prayer leader, Fethullah Gulen gained notice in Turkey some 50 years ago, promoting a philosophy that blended a mystical form of Islam with staunch advocacy of democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue. Supporters started 1,000 schools in more than 100 countries, including about 150 taxpayer-funded charter schools throughout the U.S. In Turkey, they have run universities, hospitals, charities, a bank and a large media empire with newspapers and radio and TV stations.

    Turkish President Recip Tayyip Erdogan has long accused Gulen of plotting to overthrow the officially secular government from a gated 26-acre compound in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Gulen is rarely seen in public and has been put on trial in absentia at least three times.
    ---
    WHY NOT DEPORT GULEN?

    The U.S. has shown little inclination to send Gulen back to Turkey. The Justice Department has declined to comment on Gulen's case. … [T]he Alliance for Shared Values, said: "(Gulen) said that the United States has a long tradition of democracy and rule of law. ... They will see that these are politically oriented charges, and they will not allow Erdogan to spread his ambition into the United States."


    WHAT'S THE STATUS OF LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST GULEN IN THE U.S.?

    Last month, a lawyer representing the Turkish government said he would continue exposing Gulen's "unlawful conduct" one day after a federal judge in Scranton, Pennsylvania, dismissed his lawsuit against the cleric. … U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani ruled the claims did not belong in U.S. courts.
    ---
    WHAT ABOUT THE SCHOOLS?
    Some of [Gulen’s] U.S. schools have been investigated by the FBI amid allegations of financial mismanagement and visa fraud. One of the most explosive claims is that the schools are importing Turkish teachers to identify impressionable students and indoctrinate them into Gulen's movement …

    WHAT'S THE RESPONSE TO THE LATEST ALLEGATIONS?

    In a statement Friday, the Alliance for Shared Values said: "For more than 40 years, Fethullah Gulen and Hizmet participants have … demonstrated their commitment to, peace and democracy. We have consistently denounced military interventions in domestic politics. …

    WHAT ARE GULEN'S DAYS LIKE?

    An AP reporter was given a tour of Gulen's Pennsylvania compound this year but was unable to see or interview him. He spends hours a day in prayer and meditation and goes out rarely, mostly to see doctors for ailments that include heart disease and diabetes, according to Aslandogan. Gulen's living quarters are lined with books on shelves that also hold jars filled with soil from various regions of Turkey.

    2. I don't know, AOW, but in this callous, selfish, treacherous, deceitful, often brutal ,anti-Christian world honesty, decency, wisdom, respect, loyalty and steadfastness are in very short supply.

      God won't help us, unless we return to placing Him first –– something we've not done in decades.

    3. AOW,

      Who knows? All I do know is secularism is practically dead in Turkey. He is purging not just military officers, but judges and other secular government officials.

      Say goodbye to the Haggia Sophia. Muezzins will be hollering from the towers soon, and Turkey will be one more place Christians will have to flee.

    4. I thought it was in Turkey's constitution that the military is supposed to seize power to protect the democracy from tyrants and religious whackos like Erdogan.

      The trouble with Erdogan's quest for "revenge" against might spark a larger revolt / counter-coup from the military.

      This was a feint to provoke Erdogan into overreach. A troll job, if you will. This ain't over.

    5. Beamish,

      Perhaps Turkey is simply sliding back into Pre-Attaturk status quo ante. Muslims don't seem to like secularism.

    6. Obama LOVEs the brotherhood. He supported Morsi. Now he's supported Erdogan. Hillary's Huma Abedin is also Brotherhood. They use "ISIS" as the reason for the West to support them... for they aren't as "extreme". My opinion... they control ISIS, too.

    7. ...and I'm not just saying that.

      Ever since the Egyptian army ousted the Muslim Brotherhood regime of Mohammed Morsi, Islamists in Sinai have escalated their attacks on Egyptian security personnel. At least 670 soldiers and policemen have died in the fighting so far.

    8. FJ,
      Yes, Erdogan flashed the Muslim Brotherhood salute -- as you mentioned with the link you left at 11:19.

    9. As an Armenian (first AMERICAN, of course), I'm glad I don't live in Turkey these days....

  23. How did I miss THIS one? Islamic terror attack in a bakery in Bangladesh. http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/03/asia/bangladesh-terror-attack-moments/
    Segregation of non-muslims. Horrific carnage and butchery. One hostage tied to a chair with bombs and gas canisters to act as a 'shield.'

  26. The problem is the REPUBLICAN dominant congress' last act before recess (technically, the senate, I believe) was to pass a bill upping the number of visas for muslims. These were 'special' - translators and others who worked with us. But here's the catch: they have hundreds of 'unused' spaces on similar past bill Why are we adding new ones? I support helping our translators ... very carefully, though. By now everyone knows this and this group is certainly salted with troublemakers
