The Messianic Ideology of Our Time

Alexander Maistrovoy’s latest essay was originally published by Canada Free Press in a slightly different form.

“The Road to Happiness” According to Federica Mogherini

by Alexander Maistrovoy

Messianism of the new age: The road to universal happiness lies in the creation of the Palestinian State

Right after taking office, Federica Mogherini, the new EU foreign minister, said she “would be happy if by the end of my term, a Palestinian state existed”. Her words exactly — “would be happy”.

The solution of acute and painful conflict in Ukraine, the destruction of the ISIS, anarchy in Libya, hundreds of thousands of African migrants rushing to Italy (home of Mogherini, by the way), massacre in Syria, the exodus of Christians from Middle East, the stabilization of Lebanon, standing on the brink of chaos — all these are secondary. Her dream is the creation of a Palestinian state. She arrived to Jerusalem and Ramallah only a couple of days after entering the office to demonstrate her stance on the issue.

Mogherini knows that it is a chronic, local, 50-year-old conflict that in reality doesn’t have any impact on the situation in the region, and definitely in the world. She is aware of Kerry’s desperate efforts. Kerry was so confident that Palestine is a winning ticket, a pass to the cherished post-apocalyptic era. He even visited the Holy Land almost every week while forgetting about everything else. Despite all his efforts he suffered a complete fiasco.

Perhaps Mogherini has to consider the pressure from the outside? From the Arabs, for instance? In such a case it would be understandable, however; such conduct can be cowardly and have a sense of ominous associations with Munich. But this is not case. The Arab countries — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Kuwait — nowadays do not even care about Israel. They need to survive, to resist Iran and “jihadists”. The last thing they want is another Hamastan at their borders.

Could it be American pressure? Perhaps. But this situation is unbeneficial for the Europeans. They will have to pay while USA gets all the dividends.

So what is behind Mogherini’s passionate desire and dream? It is neither politics nor interests. It’s the “pursuit of happiness”. It is the irrational religious ideology similar to those of Communist and Nazi. It is the messianic faith that it is possible to radically improve the world by overcoming the main obstacle on the road to happiness. And this obstacle is the “Palestinian problem”.

The messianic ideology of our time is known as Postmodernism, and as every religion, it has own dogmas of faith. They are the following:

Dogma I: Political Correctness. Explanation: White racism and chauvinism, or the Third World is always right

We know about “White savagery” and “White ferocity”*. We know that history of the white race has been an endless spiral of unspeakable horror** and the great European classics of recent centuries are “Dead White European Males” (DWEM).

There is only White racism. There are no such concepts as Black racism and Colored racism.

It is very “moral” to rob and humiliate the South African Boers, even to publicly sing the song “shoot the Boer with machine guns”, as South African President Zuma did. It is very decent to forcibly take away the land from whites as Mugabe has done. No one is interested in all that. Nor the fact that black and colored racism are directed against no other than … black and colored people, too.

In Congo, Pygmies are used as “pets.” In Mauritania the whole population is divided into castes: “White Berbers” — slaveholders, “Black Berbers” — the lower classes and Negros — slaves, who comprise about 600,000 people (about 20% of the population). Girls are married off at the age of 8 to 10 years.

In Zimbabwe, people of the Ndebele tribe suffer from discrimination much more so than whites in Mugabe’s hierarchical system.

In many Third World countries, the fate of women fate is to be sex slaves. Gays, lesbians and transsexuals are persecuted. They are doomed to beatings, stoning, to the most severe humiliations and mockery.

In Pakistan, according to Koranic laws (Hadd), a non-Muslim may testify in court only if the victim is also a non-Muslim. The testimony of women (Muslim or non-Muslim) is not admissible.

All this is irrelevant to the Political Correctness Dogma.

Dogma II: Multiculturalism. The idea of religion is a medieval relic, obscurantism and fanaticism only in regards to Judaism and Christianity

Counterterrorism in Quebec

Posted on by

The following video report features an RCMP counterterrorism workshop in Quebec. The overall JIM score for the event is very low:

Jihad: 0
Islam: 1
Muslim: 0

It’s all “terrorism” and “radicalization”. There’s no willingness to unmask the Great Jihad that is the single common factor behind all the planned and executed attacks.

After all, if even bikers can grow beards, how can we detect these violent extremists in advance? They have nothing in common with each other! It makes the job of enlightened, tolerant, multicultural-minded law enforcement officers that much more difficult…

Terror Attacks in Mombasa

Posted on by

We reported last night that Kenyan police raided two mosques in Mombasa. One person was killed while attempting to throw a grenade, and more than 250 people were arrested.

Today, in what may have been a response to yesterday’s events, “youths” went on a rampage in Mombasa, killing at least four people. However, residents of Mombasa were relieved when they learned that the incidents had nothing to do with Islam.

Below is a TV news report about the attacks in Mombasa:

The following news report from The Daily Nation describes the day’s events:

Pastor, Three Others Killed in Mombasa

There were unconfirmed reports from Mombasa on Monday night that youths wearing army fatigues went on a killing spree, leaving four people dead.

The bodies were taken to Coast General Hospital.

In one incident, a pastor who was waiting at a bus stop with four women was accosted by the youth and chopped with machetes.

He was cut in the back of his head and in his hands and left sprawled on the ground bleeding. He died on the spot.

The women were, however, left unharmed. One of them, who was said to be the wife of the deceased, identified him as Pastor Joshua Muteti.

Helmets, Hoods, and Burkas

Posted on by

Sergio Redegalli is an Australian artist and anti-Islamization activist whose no-burka mural and other public actions have been covered extensively here at Gates of Vienna (see, for example, here, here, and here).

Last month Mr. Redegalli and two of his friends dressed up in a burka, a Ku Klux Klan get-up, and a motorcycle helmet, respectively, and tried to enter the Australian parliament building in Canberra. Their stunt was an attempt to draw media attention — which it most certainly did — to the incoherence of the rule that permits the niqab, but no other face-coverings, in public buildings and businesses. Allowing the burka while forbidding other coverings is evidence of special treatment for Muslims, and not “religious freedom”. The unexamined premise behind the policy is that someone wearing a niqab could never possibly commit the sort of criminal acts that the ban on motorcycle helmets is intended to prevent.

Vlad Tepes recently interviewed Sergio Redegalli — who was wearing the Ku Klux Klan robes — about this incident and related matters:

Here’s a flashback to the event, which took place on October 27, as reported in The Sydney Morning Herald:

Protester Wears Ku Klux Klan Outfit to Oppose Burqas at Parliament House

Anti-burqa protesters dressed in a motorcycle helmet, a niqab and a KKK uniform try to enter Parliament House with their faces covered.

A trio of men have attempted to enter Parliament with one wearing a Ku Klux Klan mask, and the others wearing a niqab and a motorcycle helmet as part of a protest against the burqa.

All three were forced by Parliament security to remove their facial coverings.

Sergio Redegalli, Nick Folkes and Victor Waterson call their protest movement “Faceless” and oppose the burqa being worn in public spaces. They also expressed strong views against what they said was the “political ideology” of Islam which they said was “contrary” to Australian beliefs.

The protesters were stopped between Old Parliament House and the Parliament House forecourt and told by police that the men wearing the Ku Klux Klan hat and motorcycle helmet would be forced to remove their facial coverings but the person in the niqab would be allowed to keep theirs on.

“One of the requirements of coming into Parliament House is that the motorcycle helmet is going to have to come off, your headdress is going to have to come off and your burqa … your identity will be checked,” the security guard told the protesters.

Mr Redegalli removed his Ku Klux Klan mask to reveal a niqab underneath. He said “so I guess this is the time to say that I’m now allowed into Parliament House am I?” “No,” responded the security guard.

“Bit of a loophole, eh?” Mr Redegalli questioned.

The group were screened as part of the regular entry procedures and all three emerged with their facial coverings removed.

A French convert to Islam named Maxime Hauchard may be one of the ISIS mujahideen who assisted “Jihadi John” in the Islamic States’ latest videotaped mass beheading extravaganza. Thus we have the unusual situation where a French convert to Islam may have assisted in the beheading of an American convert to Islam, Peter Tassig, a.k.a. Abdul-Rahman Tassig. Yet the victim is identified by his Islamic name in news reports, while the executioner is not. Funny about that.

In other news, the Colombian government suspended peace negotiations with the narco-terrorists of FARC after a general in the Colombian army was kidnapped.

Mosque Raids in Mombasa

Posted on by

One person has been killed and more than 250 arrested in police raids on two mosques in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa. The mosques had apparently been used as armories, in addition to being incubators of violent jihad.

A report from KTN in Kenya:

And from NTV in Kenya:

Below are excerpts from a BBC article on the same topic:

Kenya Police Seize Weapons in Mombasa Mosques Raid

Kenyan police say they have conducted dawn raids on two mosques in the coastal city of Mombasa, recovering grenades and ammunition.

One person was shot dead by police and more than 250 people were arrested during the operation.

Police said the Masjid Musa and Shakinah mosques were being used to store weapons.

They have accused the Masjid Musa mosque of having ties to the Islamist militant group al-Shabab.

Al-Shabab, which is based in neighbouring Somalia, has carried out several attacks in Kenya since 2011, when Kenya sent troops into Somalia to battle it.

Police say they recovered a pistol, eight grenades and a flag associated with al-Shabab at the mosques.

One man was shot dead during the raid after he “attempted to hurl” a hand grenade at police officers, Mombasa police chief Geoffrey Mayek told reporters.

“This Is Our Country”

Posted on by

There has recently been a series of rallies against Islamization in various German cities, including Cologne and Dresden. The latest was in Hannover on November 15, and was organized by Hannover Hooligans Against Salafists (Hannover Hooligans gegen Salafisten, HoGeSa).

The video below shows a speech in Hannover by Heidi, who has become famous over the last year or so for standing bravely against Islam. Her most well-known action involved the interruption of a Muslim prayer service in a Lutheran church (after which she was thrown out of the building). She had made headlines earlier confronting a menacing group of Muslim men much bigger than herself on the street during a demonstration.

In this clip she gives the closing remarks at last Saturday’s rally in Hannover. Like the man who spoke in the previous video, she discusses the way the anti-Islamization protesters in the audience are being set up by police.

“I Stand for the Cause”

Posted on by

Over the last few weeks German cities have seen a series of rallies against the Islamization of Germany. The latest was in Hannover last Saturday, November 15, organized by Hannover Hooligans Against Salafists (Hannover Hooligans gegen Salafisten, HoGeSa).

The following video clip shows a brief speech given by a man at the Hannover rally. The general atmosphere is reminiscent a demo during the heyday of the EDL several years ago. You’ll hear the speaker discuss in a matter-of-fact way the infiltration of the crowd by agents of the state, and the deliberate provocations intended to ensure that violence occurs, and gets blamed on HoGeSa.

What Happened at the National Cathedral Last Friday?

Posted on by

On Friday November 14, 2014 the Episcopal Church in the United States hosted an “ecumenical” Muslim prayer service at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.

The date was the 100th anniversary to the day of the last jihad declared against non-Muslims by the last Caliph, the sultan of the Ottoman Empire.

Here are three brief excerpts from what the imams said in their prayers. But what were they really saying?

The following 4.5-minute video contains short clips from Friday’s service, accompanied by explanatory material to help the reader understand what all devout Muslims already know about the imam’s words.

Many thanks to Dr. Andrew Bostom for his invaluable research, to ritamalik for the timing and translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Those who are interested may watch the longer video (1 hour 20 minutes).

Let’s take a look at the details behind these clips (time-stamps refer to the full video)…

Ebrahim Rasool, South African Ambassador to the United States, reciting Qur’an 5:82

24:24   These are Christians about whom the Koran says:
24:28  
24:30   “And nearest to the believers in love you will find those who say,
24:36   ‘We are Christians.’ Amongst them are those devoted to learning,
24:42   renouncing the world, and they are not arrogant.”
 

What Mr. Rasool omitted is the opening half of verse 5:82: “Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (i.e., ‘idolatrous’ Hindus, Buddhists, and Animists).” The Jew-hating nature of this verse was re-affirmed by Sunni Islam’s most prestigious center of religious education, Al-Azhar University, and its current leading cleric, Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayeb.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Qur’an 3:26-27

39:58   Say, “O Allah , Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will.
40:09   You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.
40:15   You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead,
40:24   and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account.”
 

Authoritative classical and modern exegeses on this verse show its implied threat of violent jihad.

“An Intellectual and Moral Disgrace on a Massive Scale”

Posted on by

Dr. Andrew Bostom has written a scholarly analysis of some of the wonderful “ecumenical” themes featured during the last Friday’s Islamic prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral. The following article was originally published at Dr. Bostom’s website.

Dr. Bostom sends his thanks to ritamalik, who did the initial analysis of the Arabic-language content of the service, and compared it with portions of the supposed English translations.

Keynote Muslim Sermon Recites Koranic Themes of Conquering and Condemning Christians and Jews at National Cathedral “Ecumenical” Event

by Andrew G. Bostom

This past Thursday (11/3/14) in anticipation of a midday Friday Islamic service, to be held, November 14th in the National Cathedral I noted the willful obliviousness to a grim centennial remembrance: November 11, 1914, when the Ottoman Sheikh ul-Islam (supreme Muslim religious authority) issued fatwas (religious edicts) declaring a jihad against non-Muslim state enemies of the last Muslim “Caliphate.”

Subsequent Ottoman Muslim fatwas (see here; here) promulgated during the World War I era would target Christian minorities, under Sharia-based Ottoman Muslim rule, for genocidal jihadism against these hapless non-Muslim victims. The Ottoman jihad ravages were as barbaric and depraved as the recent horrific spate of ISIS atrocities in Iraq and Syria, and far more extensive. Occurring, largely between 1915-16 (continuing through at least 1918), some one million Armenian, and 250,000 Assyro-Chaldean and Syrian Orthodox Christians were brutally slaughtered, or starved to death during forced deportations orchestrated by their Ottoman Muslim rulers, through arid wastelands.

Following the Friday November 14th event (which can be viewed in its entirety, here; or here; see also this useful written summary account ), Dean of the National Cathedral, Gary Hall, when questioned about this cruelly ironic timing, conceded, “I did not know that it was that anniversary” — but then segued into an unconscionable immoral equivalence defending the “ecumenical” Muslim prayer service.

But knowing it now, it actually seems to be more appropriate to have an event that is on an anniversary of a hard time… There have been atrocities on both sides. There have been extremists on both sides.

After viewing Friday’s ostensible exercise in “ecumenism” at The National Cathedral, it is impossible for me to discern whether the Christian event organizers are more ethically, or intellectually cretinous. Consider the main khutbah (or sermon) delivered by Muslim South African Ambassador to the U.S. (and champion of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood), Ebrahim Rasool.

Extolling his National Cathedral Christian hosts, the good ambassador Rasool quoted (video here; hat tip Ken Sikorski) — in deliberately truncated fashion — only the latter portion of Koran 5:82 (equivalent to this: “…and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: ‘We are Christians.’ That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.”) What Mr. Rasool omitted is the virulently Jew- and “pagan”-hating, opening half of verse 5:82: “Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (i.e., “idolatrous” Hindus, Buddhists, and Animists).” The Jew-hating nature of this verse — well-established by classical Koranic commentaries, spanning over a millennium — was re-affirmed by Sunni Islam’s most prestigious center of religious education, Al-Azhar University, and its current leading cleric, Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayeb. During an interview with Al-Tayeb, which aired on Channel 1, Egyptian TV, October 25, 2013, Al-Azhar’s Grand Imam gave a brief explanation of the ongoing relevance of verse 5:82 which has been invoked — “successfully” — to inspire Muslim hatred of Jews since the advent of Islam:
