There's the media's narrative and then there's the truth
In a 2009 episode of
the HBO series “Curb your Enthusiasm” the alleged comedian and
Seinfeld script writer Larry David, appeared in a scene where he
visits the toilet in the home of a Christian family and
“accidentally” urinates on a painting of Christ. As a result Mr David's
piddle then becomes the source of religious veneration when the “dumb
Christians” take it to be a miracle and assume that the picture is
weeping.
Despite the widespread
offence this scene caused to many Christians, a spokesperson for the
at any other time fanatically politically correct cable channel insisted that the
portrayal of a Jewish man pissing on our saviour was merely“playful”.
Also, and readers can
correct me if I am wrong, after all I may well have been bathing a
dog, or painting my toenails at the time and missed it, I have no
recollection of any presidents, prime ministers or Secretaries of
state giving press conferences to call the episode “disgusting” and “reprehensible” or
issuing statements condemning “all those” who offend believers of
“ANY” faith.
Likewise, if the FBI did
apprehend the writers of “Curb your Enthusiasm” or took them in
for questioning, as they has done with the makers of this latest
“anti-Islamic” movie, I must also have missed those reports, -
perhaps a helpful reader can send me a link.
Once again, I may have
been otherwise occupied at the time, but following the depiction of
Christ in the Musical “Jerry Springer the Opera” as an
effeminate, overweight baby in a diaper, I do not seem to recall any
embassies being burnt down, or murdered ambassador's bodies being
dragged through the streets by baying and blood thirsty gangs of Christians.
To be fair “Jerry
Springer the Opera” did result in protests, but these primarily
involved groups of Christians standing outside theatres singing hymns
and handing out leaflets, rather than setting fire to buildings and
calling for executions. Indeed, according to some accounts, more
commotion was caused by audience members objecting to being handed a
leaflet than by the Christian protesters themselves.
Of course according to
the media, the Muslim world is merely reacting in the same way as
followers of any other faith if offended by some cheep internet
flick.
A snarling mob of
Muslims may have murdered U.S. ambassador, Chris Stevens, his aide Sean
Smith and two former Navy SEALs, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty
because of an 18 minute YouTube video, but Christians would have done
exactly the same faced with similar provocation.
That is the first lie,
but only the first of many.
Of course, we have seen
this all before, all it takes is an unfounded rumour of a quran being
dropped in a toilet or a Danish artist, with an old fashioned belief
in free expression, draws cartoon of some old guy with a bomb in his
turban, and the devotees of love and peace turn into a howling
homicidal mob, intent on telling others what values they should live
by.
However, it is the
behaviour of the politicians, the media and the “creative
establishment” which is most contemptible.
Where, for instance,
are all the talking heads who spring up instantly to defend the
rights of anyone to make movies or creates images which are
offensive to Christians or even to pontificate on the artistic merit
of placing a crucifix in a jar of urine or painting the Virgin Mary with Elephant dung? They usually have so much
to say, but when it comes to Islam they all fall silent.
Meanwhile the press
continually imply that there is a moral equivalence between a video
which has been online without causing any upset since July, and
murderous, wide spread rioting and arson which spontaneously broke
out two months later on the exact anniversary of the September 11th
attack on the World Trade centre in New York.
The politicians surpass
themselves in hypocrisy, by tempering any criticism of the riots by
then criticising the video and then lie by saying that they would
condemn equally attempts to offend members of any faith, which we all
know they would not, and have not done so in the past.
However, we know that's a lie but does any of it
have much credibility?
Certainly anyone who
believes that the riots are really a response to a video, which as
anyone who has seen it will attest is a cross between a very bad
“Naked Gun” with added sand, and some form of “Carry on Up the
Jihad”, should not be allowed to drive or handle machinery until
they have sobered up. In fact, the violence was planned well in
advance and is a response to the commemoration of the slaughter of
almost 3,000 people on September 11 2001. We all know that.
However, what about the
establishment and the media? Do you really believe their responses?
Indeed do they believe any of what they are saying?
Did they ever really
believe in the Arab Spring at all?, were they really stupid enough to
interpret the uprisings which started in December 2010 and have since
completely changed the political make up of the region as
demonstrating a craving for a peaceful secular democracy? Were they really that naive?
Whatever the truth,
what we see today, they, our leaders and our media, have helped to
create. What we see is a dangerous, unstable strip of nations across
North Africa and the Southern Mediterranean, all run by people who
hate us, ruling over people screaming for our blood and all of them facing
onto Europe.
Meanwhile, millions
upon millions of them are already here. The official estimate is
that there are 53 million Muslims now living in Europe, however, as
with all official estimates of immigration figures it is almost
certainly far below the true figure. A number of sources put the actual
figure closer to 75 million, (not that much of a stretch given that
based on food consumption alone the main four supermarkets estimated
in 2008 that the UK population alone was actually between ten and
twenty million more than the official figure) If that is true, the
real number of Muslims in Europe is roughly equal to the population
of Germany in 1939. If you add to that the 70 million Turks whom our
leaders, such as Cameron, are desperate to grant access to Europe,
you have numbers close to that of the Axis Powers at the beginning of
World War II, and they already here amongst us and with a billion more
behind them, all facing a West who's people are no longer inclined
to fight for their survival.
Across the Atlantic is
a long time ally who, under the current administration we can no
longer trust to come to our aid especially if we were in conflict
with Islam. “I will stand
with them should the political winds shift in an
ugly direction.” said Barack Obama or whoever wrote “The Audacity
of Hope” for him, in reference to Muslims at a time of international conflict. If he wins in November, we may find how much he
meant those words within the next four years.
And it could well be
that soon, things have changed so rapidly and so decisively in such a
short space of time.
Is this coincidence or
was this intended? Was ir due to incompetence, ideological blindness or
malevolent design?.
Do we yet realise how
much danger we are in? Or are we like the sheep grazing peacefully
and placidly in a field we though would never change, so contented
and so comfortable that we did not notice the wolves slinking quietly
towards us from the woods, until they had us surrounded on all sides
and there was no escape.
