I will stop here.

If all of these things had been done by Christians in the name of Christianity, would we define Christianity as a “peaceful religion”? Would I be a bigot if I started to believe that this religion itself just might be a problem? What if all these things had been done by, let’s say, Mormons? Would we hesitate to acknowledge that we have a “Mormon Problem”?

But these acts were NOT perpetrated in the name of Christianity, Buddhism, Mormonism, or any other religion – aside from Islam. The fact is that every one of the heinous acts listed above was committed EXPLICITLY IN THE NAME OF ISLAM, by supporters of Islam, in defense of Islam, and/or in part of an attempt to bring about an Islamic state.

Am I a bigoted “Islamophobe” if I am somewhat alarmed by the trend here?

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

To which I will add a further question: why are there so many aggressive Christophobes and Jew-haters among the illiterati gatekeepers and their sheep-like followers?

As Daniel Greenfield has said: “multiculturalism is a misspelling of moderate Muslim”.

Amen, brother.

  1. I just saw Cameron speak on today’s outrage. He never mentioned that this has nothing to do with Islam. Can one infer that it now finally has something to do with Islam, or is it the rule that it has something to do with Islam only if it happens outside the UK?

    • Here in Amefrika (once known as America) if blacks do their usual murders, robberies or their ever popular rape of a White woman, no mention is EVER made of their race and only referred to as “teens” “youths” “young people” but we awake Whites know that failing to mention race means BLACK! NO mention is EVER made when muslims are the culprits either and various euphemisms are used but never “Asians” and NEVER Pakistani either.

    • Probably not.
      He just got tired of being laughed every time he says “Islam is a peaceful religion” and “the attack had nothing to do with Islam.”

    • Even Cameron must know that his long-running protection of Islam will now be seen in all its absurdity. Although we are still hearing efforts from the MSM to downplay and deflect the full horror of today (references to “self-radicalized” individuals, “militants” instead of “terrorists”, etc.) the Western public is waking up.

      • We are waking up…. Those criminals who try to lull us to sleep again and no to see the deadly danger coming from muslims are accomplices in these crimes, and they are even worse than terrorists. Those criminals who brought these terrorists en masse to the west are worse than muhamate the looter paedophile. Stupid politicians: Do we need all these mahamadanese savagees. What benefit do you get from them crap-decision makers. Where ‘s democracy: people don’t like them and you still import these savages. Brutes. Wolves. scoundrels.
        muslims never lied to us about their true intentions. It’s our Traitor Class who have lied to us.

  2. Viewing so many acts of violence, one quickly becomes numb, and tunes out.

    On the other hand, this *does* provide an overwhelming corpus illustrating clearly that violence in the name of Islam is not limited to a few “isolated cases.” Unfortunately, there will still be those who, after reviewing these thousands of murders in the name of Allah, will point to the ONE known case of a “Christian extremist” terrorist murder in the US this century (the murder of abortionist Dr. George Tiller in 2009) as proof of moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam.

  3. Not sure if that got through. Please edit the comment to replace the word “murders” with “murders, kidnappings, rapes, firebombing, threats, and intimidation”

  4. I will re-post again as it seems that my posts do not get taken by anti-jihad web sites any more.

    I would think that Cameron and co are finding it difficult to peddle that line any more because it is totally hollow and laughed at by the majority of the population. I would think that his advisors told him that adding that laughable message to any reaction to Islamic terror attacks devalued his message as it just gathered contempt.

    The fact is that more and more people get it, the question is when will the governments in the west move from their strategy of containment based on trying and failing to keep the so called moderate Muslims away from real Islam, or they move to what I and many others feel is the right approach which is to weed out the extremists and expose Islam to the full open scrutiny and contempt that it deserves.

    They certainly need to understand that multiculturalism needs two to tango and act accordingly, the core texts of Islam mean that Islam can never co-exist with the other.

    Islam the religion of Xenophobia…

  5. This listing of Muslim atrocities makes for grim reading but its details should be kept crystal clear in our minds. Only by viewing these attacks in their entirety can we begin to realize the vastness of the problem Islam presents to the whole world right now. I agree with Dr. Warren Smith though, that there will still be many who cannot see what is in clear view. Just a few minutes ago a Toronto radio host, Jim Richards of NewsTalk1010, stated that despite the Charlie Hebdo killings – which he views as atrocious – he still believes Islam is a peaceful religion. He expressed sympathy with Muslims whom he felt must be getting tired of apologizing for this type of murderous attack, and he invited them to call in with their experiences of this.

    • Now we know what Israel is fighting for: Its existential being.

      So France’s appeasement of Arabs, poring money on Hamas, realizing “Palestinian state”, groveling at arab king’s feet, building mosques all over France and Europe, surrendering white girls to muslims, . . . etc. did not help a bit.
      Now read history and see how people survived enemies and invasions? Has naivete, stupidity and praising the oppressor been any help?
      Were not all tyrants been defeated not appeased?
      Now, France, can you understand Israel and put yourself in its shoes? And France is not even surrounded by 5 muslims hostile countries?
      Oh Iran has no border with Israel? Then why does Iran hate Israel so much? Think of that France. Spain wake up, necessity is the mother of all institutes. [Redacted – a call for violence and torture]

  6. I wouldn’t decide whether it was peaceful or not until I had read the doctrines. What people DO in whatever name, does not mean the ‘name’ is the origins of what they do. It’s the Fallacy of Association. The problem with Islam is that the doctrines ‘support’ what they do…. and therein lies the insidiousness of it. You can’t tell them to ‘go back to your doctrines and become peaceful’ because these same doctrines support what they do.

  7. It’s simple. The Frankfurt School-influenced ‘intellectuals’ who seek to control public opinion see Christianity as a white people religion. It is, accordingly, bad and never to be defended. Islam, on the other hand, is seen as a brown people religion. It is allowed the privilege of victim status and the attribution of racism to anyone who criticises it. Judaism, at least in comparison with Islam, is also seen as a white people religion. The enemy these ‘intellectuals’ seek to destroy above all else is Western civilisation and culture. It’s also the enemy that the jihadis seek to destroy. So the intellectuals and the jihadis are allies against a common enemy, which, by having surrendered its thinking to the intellectuals, is becoming an easy target. But there are pockets of resistance.

    • Bravo sir. I had never considered that dimension, though it is a completely plausible explanation.

    • It was a mostly white religion in 1910, but if you check Pew Research for 2010 it shows that non-whites account for the majority of Christians worldwide and this is increasing. Shouldn’t it now be racist to criticize Christianity?

      • The current crop of ‘intellectuals’ doesn’t let the truth get in the way of a useful narrative. Besides, with the exception of ancient pockets of Christianity such as Ethiopia, much of the Christianity among black or brown people is a result of those terrible white missionaries who destroyed their ancient cultures and religions, or so the narrative goes. (Haven’t met a Torres Strait Islander who wishes he was still a headhunter/headhunted, though.)

        • Yes, those terrible white missionaries. The same ones, who starting in the 1840’s, successfully persuaded the New Zealand Maori that eating people was wrong. The Maori had believed that simply killing your enemy (fellow Maori – the word means ordinary or normal – clans or tribes) wasn’t sufficient: one had to eat him, digest him and excrete him to have full victory over him. To their credit the Maori completely abandoned their traditional cannibalism within a mere 20 years.

          This, undisputed, aspect of Maori culture is never referenced in popular Western culture. An omission exemplified by acclaimed films such as “The Piano” where Harvey Keitel plays a noble Maori and the Christian missionary is a pathetic object of derision whose wife …

    • My dear, it is wrong to examine black or white Christianity. We should consider that Christianity is not a religion, it is the only one True Faith. That means True Christians, are only the true Orthodox. So I would say having a true Orthodox life true Lord Jesus Christ transforms into a brave, determined and strongly independent individual. That type of personality could fight all types of struggles and not afraid to meet the death because he knows that exists life after. That is the most important mystery. True Life after death…

  8. It is long overdue time for the Freedom and Liberty loving Patriotic Citizens of the Western World to WAKE UP AND WISE UP!! and acknowledge self evident factual reality that pisslam is a fascistic, barbaric, oppressive,diabolical,tyrannical DEATH CULT Ideology masquerading as divinely ordained religion!!
    The political class and other ruling elites have INTENTIALLY betrayed our respective societies in accordance to their DIABOLICAL NEW WORLD ORDER AGENDA!!
    We have no other ultimate choice but RESISTANCE!! PERIOD!!

  9. murad,
    It is interesting to notice that although you made a reference to Israel, the author of the list of “what ifs” apparently saw no reason to include murderous acts against Jews committed in Israel by muslims, as he seems to see them as “legitimate” acts under the current political circumstances. I was sorry to realise that in this case, as well as in so many others, the Israeli-muslim conflict is framed as a national feud, instead of a battle between two cultures and ideologies as is the case. This failure to recognise the conflict for what it is, and the differentiation between what is happening in the holy land and what is happening in the rest of the world in terms of islamic jihad, is a grave and ignorant mistake. Suffering attacks against Jews in Israel as political and hence debatable or even acceptable, further hinders the upstanding of global jihad. Until the world understands that Israel is at the forefront of this battle, and has been for the last sixty odd years, our boys at the front will continue to suffer great losses, eventually leading to losses among the “girls back at home”… Guess where that is.

  10. All should read “The Flying Inn” by GK Chesterton. A century ahead in his prognostication of the political infiltration of Islam into the West. Hopefully we awaken as those people did. Where is our Patrick Dalroy?!
