The Crime of Tolerance

Got your attention, did I?

My title refers to Thomas Mann, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929, who said:

"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to Evil."

Islam is evil. Tolerance of Islam is, or should be, a crime.

I just read that a second Korean Christian hostage has been murdered by the Taliban. If we had any gonads whatsoever, we would shoot two Taliban prisoners for each Western hostage that they kill, and the ACLU and other appeasers be damned.

Christopher Hitchens: "Why Are We So Scared of Offending Muslims?"

Christopher Hitchens has addressed the outrageous actions of Pace University, who pressed felony complaints against a student who threw a Koran into a toilet.

Hitchen's comments should be engraved on a plaque and a copy nailed over the entrance to every college and university in the West. He writes:

The enemies of intolerance cannot be tolerant, or neutral, without inviting their own suicide. And the advocates and apologists of bigotry and censorship and suicide-assassination cannot be permitted to take shelter any longer under the umbrella of a pluralism that they openly seek to destroy.

This is what I have been saying for some time, in my crude, cigar-chomping way.

Read all of Hitchen's remarks at Slate.com, at the following link. With thanks to Little Green Footballs for bringing the article to light.

The Taliban's Korean Christian Hostages

Twenty-two young Christian missionares from Korea went to Afghanistan, I suppose to prosleytize Afghanis to become Christians.

It was a fool's errand, to be sure. All the young missionaries accomplished was to be abducted off their bus by the Taliban and used as bargaining chips by the barbarians. Now one of the group has been murdered by the Taliban, who promises to kill the rest if captured Taliban fighters are not released.

Christian missionaries would do well to stay out of harm's way and out of the den of evil known as the Middle East, at least while the region remains overwhelmingly ruled by barbarians. They need to stay out of the way until our troops finish cleaning out this nest of vipers. The presence of naive do-gooders does more harm than good, since their major contribution is to supply the enemy with hostages and new victims to murder. We are not amused.

The Enemy Within

Little Green Footballs today reports that the Koran toilet thrower has been charged with two felonies. Imagine, two felonies for throwing a book into a toilet. The student arrested is Stanislav Shmulevich. He faces financial ruin in defending himself from these ridiculous charges, brought through the activities of CAIR and the Muslim Student Union.

The fact that an unAmerican, subversive organization like CAIR can operate with impunity in the USA only shows how far our country has gone down the road to Islamization. We are being sold out - by the traitorous Left. The enemy is not only the Taliban and other barbarians, the enemy is right here in the United States. The enemy within is not only CAIR and other Muslims, the enemy is the Democratic Party and leftists and liberals (most especially the teachers and trustees of our subversive Universities) who openly throw their lot in with the barbarians who would kill us all if they could.

Yes, I do support the mass export of Muslims out of the United States. Yes, I do support the closing of all mosques in the United States. Yes, I do support the immediate cessation of any further Muslim immigration into the United States. Islam is an evil ideology masquerading as religion; it, like Nazism and Communism, must be made to feel unwelcome in these United States. Since Islam tolerates no one outside its sphere, it is suicidal and insane to tolerate IT.

To show the utter bankruptcy of liberal thought, we now have proof that most prisoners released from Gitmo immediately return to fight Americans in Afghanistan or Iraq. Liberals have been howling for "Constitutional rights" for these terrorists for some time now, for trying them in a court of law or releasing them. Liberals got their wish, and now their buddies are once again killing people.

The enemy within is not just Muslim. The enemy within is also the liberals, leftists and Democrats who give them moral and political support.

Toilet Hate Crime and the Koran

Pace University, one of those "please kill us" liberal schools who love to embrace evil in all its forms, has charged a 23 year old student with a "hate crime." It seems the student threw a Koran into a toilet on campus.

This is really going too far. Since when is abuse of plumbing a "hate crime"?

I mean, did the toilet complain?

As I noted in this prior post, there are proper ways to dispose of a Qur'an, and flushing it down the toilet is unadvisable for sound reasons of plumbing and hygiene. Please do read "Stogie's Guide to Proper Qur'an Disposal" at this link.

British Telecom Browses Saber Point

Someone from British Telecom in London logged on today and read 29 pages of this blog. They seemed to be particularly interested in my take on England's new dhimmitude and my support of Israel.

Hey, welcome Brits! I just hope you're on the right side of the issues.

Democrats, Enemies of America

This past week the Party of Treason killed the "John Doe" bill that would have protected citizens for informing authorities of possible terrorist activity.

Right after a group of Muslims exhibited provocative behavior aboard a commercial airliner, several passengers complained and the followers of Satan were promptly ejected from the plane. The ejected barbarians then filed lawsuits against all those who complained about their deliberately provocative behavior. The whole thing had been a Muslim setup to suppress opposition to Muslims acting provocatively on airplanes, and elsewhere, using the threat of lawsuits as a club. That would have made future terrorist plots more difficult to stop.

A Republican proposed the John Doe bill to exempt informers from such lawsuits. Litigation is enormously expensive, even when you win, and there is always the chance you will find yourself in jail for no good reason, like the two border guards imprisoned for protecting the borders.

The Democrats, after first voting for the John Doe bill (for public consumption) then killed the bill in committee, thus allowing CAIR and other proponents of clitoral excisement to sue the beans out of anyone who might complain. You can always count on the Democrats to stand up for the little guy, especially when the little guy hates America and wants to destroy it.

The upshot of all this is that if you find the guy in the next cabin seat wearing an explosive vest, keep your mouth shut. It's far better to die than to be sued. And if you happened to vote Democrat in the last election, you probably deserve it anyway.

Mary Jo Kopechne Is Unavailable For Comment

Today is the 38th anniversary of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. She died through the negligence and abandonment of Senator Ted Kennedy on July 18, 1969.

Mary Jo was a Democratic Party campaign staffer who caught a ride with Ted Kennedy following a party for the staffers. No doubt old Ted was counting on a little political "activism" and was in a rush to get Mary Jo to a nice bed somewhere. But he drove off a bridge into the bay around Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. Kennedy extricated himself from the submerged car, but did not seek emergency help to free Mary Jo from the sunken Oldsmobile. Kennedy was more interested in saving his political career than he was in saving Mary Jo's life, and she drowned in the car.

Mary Jo wasn't the only person this fat alcoholic slob ever killed, but she was one of the first. Later, 2.5 million Indochinese joined her in death as a result of Kennedy's cut-and-run policy for South Vietnam.

Still to come: several million Iraqis. Stay tuned.

Create Your Own Reality

It appears the new Prime Minister of Great Britain has figured out how to rid the world of Islamic terrorism: just deny that it even exists. Following the latest Muslim bomb plot to kill Brits, the PM has ordered no one in his administration to use the terms "war on terror" or "Islamic terrorist." No one is, in any way, to point out that Islamic terrorism is related to Islamic terrorism.

This is truly brilliant. How can there be a problem that no one acknowledges or discusses? Let's ignore 14 centuries of mass murder, invasion, enslavement, robbery, rape and oppression by the Muslim religion, and poof! It all goes away, as if by magic. If we don't mention it, it doesn't exist.

Terrorism, that nasty business where select individuals attempt to kill many strangers with bombs or planes or other means, becomes simply a random act of nature, like hurricanes or floods or earthquakes or lightning strikes. It's no one's fault, really. These things just happen.

I never cease to be amazed by the perfect malleability of the left-wing mind. It is like a gyroscope; you can upset it only momentarily with fact-based reality. It soon returns to its designated course, automatically and instantly. There can be no evil in any culture, especially non-western ones, and so any problems such cultures engender are explainable by a standard list of leftist bugaboos, e.g. capitalism, Christianity, global warming, the absence of speech codes, free condoms, multiculturalism, and socialized medicine.

Reality is just not a problem for leftist-mentalists. Even overwhelming evidence of Muslim malfeasance in a horrific act like 9/11 can be erased by simple denial and the creation of a fantastic conspiracy theory. And so we have the truthers movement, which seeks to prove that 9/11 was created by George Bush and Dick Cheney as an excuse to rule the world. You really can't disprove their theory, because their inventive little minds will simply manufacture new "facts" and dismiss others to support their preconceived beliefs. Nor can you expect the leftist-mentalists to be disuaded by simple embarrassment over the sheer asininity of their claims. Nothing embarrasses them. How else would you explain those spikey hair styles and nipple rings?

The new Prime Minister's attitude reminds me of that wonderful old musical, "The Music Man." A salesman comes to a small Iowa town in the first decade of the 20th century to sell band instruments to the town's children. The Music Man, as he is called, is really a scam artist. He just wants to sell the instruments and then split with the cash, leaving the kiddies and their parents with loads of trumpets, trombones, etc, that they cannot play. However, the scammer gets trapped and must find a way to teach the children to play. So he invents the mental method, by which the children only have to imagine that they can play, and voila! They will be able to play! There is such a thin line between imagination and reality, you know. Sure enough, by the end of the musical the kiddies are marching down mainstreet blasting out "76 Trombones" and the story ends with a smile.

I fear that the political left took this play to heart and now we have foreign policy by the mental method. Muslims can become good citizens, patriotic and loyal to their adopted countries, tolerant and open minded to people of other religions and creeds! We merely have to imagine that it is so, and voila! Multicultural magic! 76 trombones led the big parade, with 110 cornets close behind..., whoops, sorry, I got carried away.

Liberalism Is A Fatal Form of Insanity

The fallout continues from the eight Muslim doctors who tried to bomb London. I am neither shocked nor outraged, because Muslim violence, murder and tyranny is so commonplace and so predictable these days.

What can we learn from this latest Muslim terrorism against the West? Nothing new. Nothing that we don't already know. But for the liberals who continue their deep denial, let us recount the facts.

1. The enemy is Islam. Not intolerance, not injustice, not poverty. Islam is a violent religion founded on the example and teachings of a very violent man. You must convert to Islam or die, those are your choices. (Yeah, yeah, you might be able to work out a deal to live as a slave, but that's not really an option.)

2. We can trust no Muslims in our midst. Since the major doctrines of Islam rest on continuous warfare and murder against non-Muslims, we should trust no Muslims. Many may be non-violent, but those are the ones who are not following their religion or their prophet. Sooner or later they, or their offspring, will get serious about religion again and heads, our heads, will roll.

3. Muslims should be deported from the West en masse. All mosques should be closed and all Qur'ans confiscated and burned. Liberals go ape when you say such things, but really, how different are Muslims from headhunters and cannibals? If headhunters and cannibals pointed to religion as the reason they must continue in their violent practices, using the indigenous Western populations as victims, would we not protest? Would we not close all cannibal barbecue centers and head-shrinking labs and offer them a free, one-way ticket home? Or would liberals scream about racism over that as well?

4. Liberals are fatally insane. They will support the Muslims simply because they are violent and hate us. They will demand greater numbers of Muslim immigrants. They will fund new mosques for them, give them money and benefits, and make it illegal to profile them or investigate them or keep tabs on them. Oh wait, that's what we're doing already. In any case, liberalism will seek new ways to speed up the process of our immolation at the hands of Muslims, even though they will join us in the bone yard. At least they will die feeling morally superior.

5. Nothing will change. When all the shouting is done, when the liberal politicians have made their "tolerance" speeches, when the mainstream news media has spun the whole nasty business away from public consciousness, we will all go back to sleep like good little children. Then it will all start again, as if on cue. People will die. Muslims will celebrate and explain that they are at war with all infidels everywhere. Liberals will give speeches explaining that what the Muslims meant was that they really want more social benefits. We must raise taxes and build more mosques and import more Muslims so they will finally realize how nice we are and stop being so murderous.

There, I think that about covers it. Have a happy 4th of July.
