Paris Terror Assaults

November 19, 2015 12:47 am / Leave a comment

Once again we have learned the consequences of unassimilated multiculturalism.  Last Friday, Islamist terrorists struck at multiple locations in Paris killing over 130.  I enjoyed a visit to Paris with my wife 2.5 years ago and have fond memories of our time there.  We were not at the scene of the concert hall or the restaurants where the attacks occurred.  However, we rode past the soccer stadium and rode by train through the suburb of Saint-Denis where a bloody assault and arrests occurred this morning.  The attack also touched me in that I have a friend and his wife who live in Compiegne about an hour north of Paris.  They are doing okay.

It is clear this was a professional and meticulously planned assault with the aftermath still remaining unclear.  European authorities have been rounding up suspects in Molenbeek, Belgium and throughout France.  A soccer match in Hannover, Germany was cancelled yesterday out of fears a bomb had been found in the area near the stadium.   The same evening a Anglo-French soccer match occurred in London with the Duke of Cambridge attending to show solidarity with the French and Britain’s resolve to stand up against sadistic Islamist vermin.

It’s a strange world we live in when philandering French Socialist President Francois Hollande show more moral courage and clarity about this situation than Barack  Obama.  Hollande rightly understands that France is at war and has sent French jet fighters on assaults against key ISIS targets in Syria.  Earlier today, he has also deployed the French aircraft carrier the Charles de Gaulle from the French naval base in Toulon to the eastern Mediterranean theater of operations.  In a reprise of their late 19th and early 20th century alliance, France and Russia are coordinating air strikes against ISIS.

Unfortunately, for the U.S., we have our babbling community organizer President still refusing to call this barbaric attack Islamist terrorism and still refusing to recognize that ground troops will be necessary to destroy ISIS.  In an embarrassingly incoherent press conference at the G-20 summit in Turkey, Obama showed how junior varsity he is when it comes to understanding the ugly realities of Islamist terrorism which his “leading from behind” policies have done so much to exacerbate.  Even worse, Beacon Hill bumpkin Secretary of State John Kerry said Islamist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier this year had a “rationale” behind it.  Excuse me, Mr. Secretary, the purpose of that attack was to kill that publication’s staff who had the effrontery to use freedom of speech to satirize the terrorist brigand “prophet” Mohammed.  It would be nice if we had a Secretary of State and President who boldly defended freedom instead of making imbecilic excuses for the enemies of freedom.

The secularist dream of a European Union without borders should have died last Friday in Paris.  European Union nations need to reinstate border controls and stop immigration of individuals from Islamic countries.  They also need to rediscover their Judeo-Christian heritage and convictions because it will take that, more than skilled intelligence and ruthlessly executed military operations, to reclaim their continent from Islamist hordes who still aspire to reverse Charles Martel’s 732 victory at Tours.  Bleating about universal human values will not cut it against Islamist savages.

While Americans mourn for the dead and pray for the survivors of these attacks, we should not be delusional enough to think we are exempt from those attacks.  ISIS would love to attack the U.S. and inflict a high body count on us.  We must remain prepared and vigilant and also keep Islamist hordes from entering our country due to porous immigration policies and the inability to vet those desiring to enter our country from the Syrian region.  We are reaping the seeds of naively believing that Islamist terrorism died when Osama bin Laden was dispatched to hell in 2011 and that Islamists were as tired of war as Barack Obama claims we are.  Friday’s attack in Paris should also be a key issue in the upcoming 2016 election and I believe Marco Rubio is the candidate best suited to lead the war against this evil.  We are also inheriting the wind of reducing our intelligence surveillance capabilities after the bogus outrage generated by traitor Edward Snowden’s revelations of National Security Agency operations.  News flash:  Gentlemen and friendly nations read each others mails, listen to each others phone calls, and monitor text messages!

The day before the Paris attack, Becky and I were in New York City visiting the 911 Memorial and Museum.  It was a moving experience that shows the evil Islamist ideology is capable of perpetrating.  That bloodshed is far less than what would happen if a nuclear armed Iran or Islamist terrorist groups armed with conventional weapons or weapons of mass destruction are allowed to carry out their attacks.  These are stern times that will require unflinching resolution and moral courage to destroy the evil which was inflicted on Paris last Friday.

 

 

 

 

Aujourd’hui Je Suis Charlie (Today, I am Charlie)

Normally, I would not praise a leftist secularist French tabloid newspaper.  However, the Parisian publication Charlie Hebdo had the courage to expose Islam for the fraudulent death cult that it is.  Charlie Hebdo, unlike many journalistic proponents of free speech, had the courage to walk the walk and talk the talk in defending freedom of expression.  It stands in a long line of satirical political publications which should be a cornerstone of any freedom  loving society.  For its courage in standing up to Islamist bullying it had previously been targeted by thuggish  Islamist hordes.  Unfortunately, today, many of its staff members paid the ultimate price for freedom when they were murdered by Islamist thugs in their Paris office in a calculated and professionally executed operation.

This is an hour of reckoning for France and the western world.  For to long, we have pathetically clung to the myth of Islam as a “religion of peace” as repeated Islamist terrorist attacks have occurred.  We naively believe we can try and “rehabilitate” Islamist vermin through western jurisprudence and psychiatry.  It’s especially sad to see this attack occur in  Paris.  The “city of light” has many worthwhile attractions which I’ve been blessed to visit.  Paris, however, has also served as a sanctuary for murderous political revolutionaries such as the Robespierrans of the French Revolution, the Communards of 1871, Ho Chi Minh, and contemporary Islamist thugs.  France has its own problems with Islam as a result of being a secularist welfare state which fails to provide sufficient economic opportunities to its peoples and persists in the delusion that one can build a society without reference to deep-seated religious values representing the core of human origins and existence.

France and other western countries must recognize that only a return to Judeo-Christian convictions and practices  will begin to turn the tide against Islamist terror. Growing numbers of Europeans are distressed by the pernicious influence of Islamist mores on European life and liberty.  This is reflected in some sections of selected European cities being “no-go” zones for police due to the nefarious omnipresence of Sharia “law” in these areas.  This distressing development was reflected a few years ago in a non-fiction work called Londonistan describing how Islamicized some sections of the British capital have become.  These concerns are legitimate and cannot be dismissed as “Islamophobic” and “promoting hate” by the self-appointed arbiters of secularist multicultural orthodoxy in many European Union countries.  While some European Muslims may wish to integrate peacefully into their countries and productively enhance their new nations, national security and societal cohesion must not be a faith-based endeavor.

We must increase our surveillance of these monsters, quit releasing them from prison in the naive hope they will somehow integrate and assimilate into our politically and religiously pluralistic countries, and take whatever steps are necessary to destroy their theological and philosophical pretentious even if such steps violate the secularist delusion of “universal human values.”

Here’s an example of one Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons.
