Islam Reform. Calling out Islam.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>Some Muslims and all Non-Muslims with a pulse know that Islam has a problem with violent misogyny and intolerance. In fact, Islam has more than a problem with these vices; Islam glories in them. It does so because it insists on unalterable dogma that dates back to the 6thC of its inception. With a few minor tweaks in the intervening 14C, Sharia Law, the legal underpinning of Islam, remains to this day the wish bucket of a severely testosterone poisoned desert patriarchy. </p>
<br>
<p>Of course, Islam at certain times in the realms it overan, permitted the continued existence of certain religions " of the book ". These faiths, notably Judaism and Christianity, were allowed a beleaguered survival provided their adherents complied with the terms of dhimmitude that constrained their religious practice, their career opportunities and reduced their standing versus Muslim litigants to that of donkeys. It also made them fiscal milch cows. Again, at these times of circumscribed Islamic tolerance, Christianity was pretty well totally intolerant. The problem is that since then Christianity has had a few reforms and Islam none.</p>
<br>
<p>Just as the Vatican sets the mood music for Catholics, in the Vaticans of the Gulf and Iran the high clergy play and propagate the stone carved score of the 6thC. This Islamic Papacy that is the ultimate arbiter of Muslim behaviour treats all notions of reform and change as capital heresy to be stamped on without mercy. It is not therefore surprising that, with approval from on high, 2 million Animists and Christians can be butchered in the Sudan because they rejected Sharia law, women can be treated as third class cretins, homosexuals can be hurled off high rises and an Afghan can fight to the last bullet to prevent his daughters being educated. What is surprising and shocking is the abject failure of the West to denounce the grossness of present day Islam.</p>
<br>
<p>You would think that there is enough abuse of women everywhere on the planet without also allowing Islam's codified, legalised misogyny. How can it be acceptable for a Muslim man to divorce a wife and throw her out on her backside minus the kids by simply saying " I divorce you " three times? How can it be acceptable today for a woman's testimony in court to be worth a fraction of that of a man? There are many women imprisoned in Pakistan because they have been raped and are therefore deemed under Sharia law to be adultresses because they had sex outside marriage. In Pakistan adultery is a capital crime. How can the planet tolerate the execution of anyone, woman or man, who chooses to stop being a Muslim? The list of abominations sanctioned by Islam is long, shameful and totally out of step with the humanist progression that most of world now demands.</p>
<br>
<p>Why then is virtually nothing said to call out Islam? Why are there no loud voices demanding that Islam be reformed and made liberal and tolerant? The reason is that the civilised world consists roughly of four groups; the impotent masses, the scared who can't be got up off their knees, the paid off and the congenital appeasers. The paid off are those who for example sell torture instruments, arms, and solid gold bath tubs to the Saudis. The congenital appeasers are typified by the politicians, state functionaries and media folk who from Helsinki to L.A. will, after every atrocity like the Sudan, Twin Towers, Bali, Bataclan, Manchester, London and Nice etc,etc, raise their bullhorns to holler " This has nothing to do with Islam! " Really!? </p>
<br>
<p>The compulsion to absolve Islam of all blame, indeed to accuse those who dare to criticise Islam of racism, is pervasive amongst the <i>bien pensants</i> and their minions. This mind set is particularly revolting when it comes to dealing with the special contempt that too many Muslim men have for Non-Muslim women. Here we have the Stockholm police chief who felt able straight faced to declare that establishing the ethnicity ( religion ) of perps in sexual attacks at a festival was a no-no. " We don't go to these dark places! " So much for Nordic police investigative procedures. In the wake of several hundred sexual assaults committed by Muslim immigrants at a winter fair in her town, all the mayor of Cologne had to say was that German women should not wear "provocative" clothing. No doubt she would have liked the women of Cologne to only step out in burkas and in the company of a male family member. England, though, has by far the worst appeasement problem of all. For fear of loosing the political support of considerable Muslim populations, the authorities, social services and police, in towns up and down the country (Oxford, Derby, Rotherham, Newcastle, Telford ...) have turned a blind eye to the systematic industrial scale sectarian and racist paedofilia of Muslim gangs targeting non-Muslim girls. More often than not, if any police action was taken it was to describe the young victims as prostitutes. Rotherham alone, when forced to accept a public enquiry, revealed over 1500 cases. Here we have a senior police officer in that sad town who, when commenting on the case of a 12 year old non-Muslim who had been groomed, trafficked and raped over 50 times by a gang of Muslim men, declared that it was the girl's " life style choice ". Never mind that any sex with a girl under 16 is illegal in Britain.</p>
<br> This fear of telling it as it is, this fearful appeasement of Muslim communities allows the perps to have a whale of a time until they are finally brought to justice. The damage done by these depraved men also includes the besmirching of the Muslim community as a whole. The appeasement has to cease.</p>
<br>
<p>Calling to account and facing down an entrenched ideology that feels free to promote violent intolerance and misogyny and happens also to bathe in trillions of petro-dollars is daunting. We should though be of good heart. Nothing including Islam is beyond reform. We need to help Islam by robustly and loudly denouncing it's wrong doings. There are plenty of humane Muslims who know that the core Islam of today and yesterday is as damaging to themselves as it is to Non-Muslims. These Muslims need to step up and join us. As a matter of urgency, a platform for action should be organised.</p>
<br>
<p>It is not enough, as occurs in many Western countries, to simply try and divert adults and youths from the calls of extremism. To do this alone is no more that to don flak jackets in the face of incoming rockets. What is vital is that we direct our anger and demands at those who pay for an launch these rockets. This means that we need to challenge and call out directly the leading clergy of the Islamic Papacies of the Gulf and Iran. This is where the poison ultimately comes from. Until these toxic fountains are cleaned out to yield up tolerance and kindness alone, nothing will change.

<br /></div>
<p> Operation " Olive Branch "! Has he got a sense of humour? Doubt it.</p>
<br>
<p> In 2014, Obama's Vice President Joe Biden told a Harvard gathering that Erdogan was backing ISIS with "Hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of arms." The basis of this accusation was intelligence indicating that the Sultan's son and son in law were smuggling into Turkey from Syria oil and other commodities looted by ISIS. The payback, minus fat commissions, was bucks and bangs. Commenting, Anatoly Antonov, Russia's deputy defence minister, said " What a marvelous family business! "</p>
<br>
<p>Now, apart from trousering millions, were there other motives for Erdogan's backing of ISIS? Seems there were two. Firstly, as an Islamist busy unpicking Ataturk' secular legacy, he has sympathy for ISIS. OK, they throw homos of high rises and crucify dissidents but for God's sake give them a break; they are just good thorough going Muslims! Secondly, and most importantly, the Sultan is driven by his pathological hatred of the Kurds and their separatist aspirations.</p>
<br>
<p> The Kurds and others with US support were taking on ISIS. So help ISIS and you bleed the Kurds. The Sultan's problem here was that the YPG Kurds, who treat men and women equally and have highly able all women fighting brigades, these Kurds were doing rather well against ISIS. In fact they were/are, as recognised by the US, the only effective military force in both Syria and Iraq.</p>
<br>
<p>In the early stages of the siege by ISIS of Kurd held Kobani, September 2014, Erdogan was gleefully predicting that it would fall in days. He was bitterly disappointed when the town held out heroically for four months and ISIS was finally driven off. Kobani was the beginning of the end for ISIS. The Kurds, their allies and the US went on to crush the nutters in Mosul, Raqqa and everywhere else. One of the results of this was the firming up of a socialistic Kurdish statelet along the Turkish/Syrian border. It is this entity that ISIS friend Erdogan has attacked and wants to destroy.</p>
<br>
<p>Good luck Sultan! It was easy to squat on Ataturk's gifts and jail all your journalists, wig makers and political opponents. Attempting, however, to take down the Kurds who almost single-handedly finished ISIS is not just nasty it is extremely foolhardy.</p>

Corbyn the dedicated Brexiter Does It.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>That May is only now able to rule with the help of the DUP is truly lovely. Apart from having comically severe sexual hangups, the DUP is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen: they want the border with the Republic to stay as it is and they want a Very Hard Brexit. Serious Dimwit Territory. Ruth Davidson and her Scottish contingent are, not withstanding her protestations, nothing but May´s lobby fodder lap dogs. What´s the matter with the Scots that they were so easily conned into thinking that Davidson is going to be able to lift her little finger for Scotland? O.K, O.K Scotland´s Labour Stooge urged tactical voting against the SNP clearly preferring a Tory governement to a strong SNP! Also, Sturgeon should have drowned all mention of indyref2. Corbyn? Well Corbyn won seats by promising everyone the moon and convincing a lot of the Selfharmers that he is pro Brexit which is not terribly difficult because that is exactly what he is and allways has been. The result, however, is that more moderate and, dare I even say it, Breturn views are gaining sway. Good old Ken Clarke, love him to bits! Things are looking up.</p>

<br /></div>
<p> It was embarrassing to see May at the microphones hours after the Manchester atrocity. She looked relieved not to say elated to be able to pontificate about Strong Leadership. Strong on Leadership. Strong on Terrorism. Strong on the Weather. Strong on Cauliflowers. Hardly surprising as earlier in the day she and the Clowns and Cretins had taken a pasting over her countless U turns, care for the elderly and the winter fuel allowance etc. The difference in the polls between Labour and the Cretins was rapidly narrowing. And then Boom! I don't think the Cretins were not going to increase their majority but it looked for a moment as though their majority might not be so monstrous. Now, thanks to the Monsters, Thursday will be a real wipe out for sanity and the future.</p>
<p> What of the Monsters? I reckon it is high time, as the brave Nazir Afzal says ( He lost his job as chief executive of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners for his outspoken views ), that the Muslim Community stopped claiming that these necrophiles have nothing to do with Islam. The Muslim Community needs to step up and own these atrocities. The Monsters are not Amish, Sikhs or Basque Separatists; they are Muslims. The Muslim Community needs to recognise this and stop birthing these degenerates.</p>
<p> Brexit? Well, given that Corbyn did SFA to prevent it happening and eagerly lept into bed with the Cretins to facilitate its triggering, what have we got? Two intellectually challenged ex geography teachers locking horns over who can best self harm. Depressing but at the end of the day Labour have got to be voted for if it comes to a choice between them and the Cretins. Vote LibDem if they have a chance as they are with the SNP the only ones who want the public to have a vote on the sorry deal that the Cretins will bring back from Brussels. If you are Scots vote for Nicola. I have spoken!</p>
<p> My prediction; Cretin majority of 50 and the SNP down to 40. The LibDems ? Sadly, realistically, they will be lucky to get 4 seats with the happy clappy evangelist playing the guitar as they cab off to nowhere. Buckle on your seat belts; its gonna get real crazy. patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-39292239233072780712017-03-29T12:16:00.000-07:002017-03-29T15:02:52.087-07:00Reversing Brexit with the Lib Dems.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>Today, the Clowns and Cretins have formally pitched us out onto Desolation Street. How sad is that? It has made me cry and rage.</p>
<p>But, as like crazy the daffs bloom and the birds sing, let us not despair too much; I've changed my mind about the way to reverse Brexit. Forget my earlier idea of a new centrist party called the Mods. Nice but too complicated.</p>
<p>For a Reverse/Return to be effected, boldly labeled Remainer parliamentary seats have to be created. The Labour Party, which is by and large indifferent to the ideals of the EU and has cravenly collaborated with the Tories is, as it Trots off to nowhere, of no use whatsoever. It is the Lib Dems alone who are in a position to democratically bring about a return to the EU. They showed their potential in Richmond. With at least a hundred or more constituencies which like Richmond have comfortable Remain majorities to be plucked, it is a no brainer. The Lib Dems need simply to stand up now and say loud and clear that they are home for the Sane. Lets hope they do this and save themselves and the country.</p> patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-38832638836391461992017-01-16T15:07:00.000-08:002017-01-17T13:36:50.161-08:00Stopping or Reversing Brexit. The Moderates, a New Party.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Anyone criticising Brexit is howled at by the Clowns and Cretins as defying the democratic will of the people.Heaven Forbid! However, as we are of course all democrats, here is a way of smashing Brexit in a properly democratic way that will make the Clowns and Cretins choke with impotent rage. Lovely.</p>
<p>As far as the Brexiters are concerned, the 16 million who voted remain are losers who can glibly be ignored if they don't knuckle under. " It's a done deal, it's all over. Let's all get on with Project Rubbish. There is no other option now! " Yell the Brexiters. Well, sorry but no. The Clowns and Cretins are big time wrong. The intransigent Remainers and those who will join them as living standards crash can be organised into a potent political force. Since in Parliament, only the SNP feels able to formally oppose Brexit, it is time for a new centrist party that would campaign in by-elections and the next general election for a reformed EU. We stay inside or return back inside and clean it up. Outside of Scotland, there are hundreds of constituencies to be targeted where good majorities voted in the referendum to remain. The new centrist party would return democratically a solid pro EU block of MPs to democratically give the Brexiters the boot.</p>
<p>How about calling this new centrist party the Moderates? It abreviates pleasingly to the Mods. With a bit of dosh, we don our parkhas and leap on our Vespas and do it. It won't be quite so easy but us Remainers/Mods should take heart from the words of de Gaulle in another dark time: " We have lost a battle but we have not lost the war".</p>
<p>
Tomorrow, 17th of January 2017, Theresa May will tell the world a little about her Brexit plans. She will also tell the British that thanks to her good friend Donald the future for a Trumpish and totally deregulated Britain is rosy. Sure, and pigs will fly.

No Go.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div><p>The Twerkers are hopping mad. Brilliant! Britain didn't have a Civil War for the aspiring despotism of May and her Cretins to bypass Parliament with some legal cadaver called the Royal Prerogative. Sounds like its come out of the crypt of " Divine Rights " Charles the First. A little while back, Oliver Cromwell sorted him and got it right; Parliament is Sovereign. If you want to trash treaties and thereby take people's rights away, like for instance their existing right in law to work on the continent, then Parliament has to give it's consent.</p>
<p>Lets hope there are enough MPs to say to the " Lets Shoot Ourselves in the Foot " millions : thanks for your recommendation to wreck the shop but the answer is no. F.O!</p>

Nissan " Special Case ". <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>The Twerkers are celebrating the UK third quarter economic performance figures. Uh... might these modestly positive figures be due to the fact that the UK is still in the EU?* Not to worry; reason is not a Twerker forte.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Twerkers have told Nissan that, whatever happens, their exports to the EU ( 70% ) will not be affected by Project BullShit. Nissan was lured to England because the UK was in the tariff free EU. They now, with a few other Internationals, have a case for suing the UK for breach of contract. Nissan, being a polite Japanese company, has simply asked for and been promised compensation. When, WTO tariffs, ( 10% for cars ), are imposed, it won't take too many other "special cases " to bankrupt the UK in a single weekend. Ah dear. The Twerkers are so dumb that, as was rather unkindly said of US President Ford, they can't chew gum and walk in a straight line at the same time.</p>
* Yes of course, this was helped by a devalued pound. However, the benefit of weak currency is very short term; expensive imports ( as we are already seeing ) will soon kick you in the pants as inflation rockets up. Happy Days!

<p>Feel you are on a ship with nutters drilling holes in the hull beneath the waterline? I do.</p>
<p>Curtsy of the Brexiters, the first of what will be an avalanche of bills has arrived. The one dollar and one euro pound.Great for Burberrys of Knightsbridge, not so good, to put it mildly, for your daily shop.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the SNP has laid out its plan. Given that May will not protect Scotland's position within the Single Market, the SNP will, in its own time, when everyone will have seen the dog's arse produced, call another referendum. The Scots will do this with or without the permission of the English. They will this time secede. Scotland will then also, whether the English, the Spaniards or the Belgians like it or not, be a member in its own right of the EU.</p>
<p>Scotland with its good banking and industrial assets will become, with Ireland one of the two English speaking EU portals. Poor England, for its part, will drift off to the disaster that the Clowns and Cretins have plucked from a fairly clear blue sky. A future blistered by xenophobia and crashing living standards.Hey England: Good luck with the WTO!</p> patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-5582456176661507272016-07-25T06:57:00.000-07:002016-07-25T06:57:28.270-07:00Sultan Erdogan<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT6opL9TS2bXy3FTi2Lw9kADBJRwHrQx9ia0wNnHTqonF_aYJU8_gfsbo3t3piAWRZeKQSYd0mEXZTBgTaUDgKz8fb3R6WVKUyo4n6AcOSDuqSJFDpvjx-IyeKEkuafO-tqUiMH1l_zm2V/s1600/erdogan3.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT6opL9TS2bXy3FTi2Lw9kADBJRwHrQx9ia0wNnHTqonF_aYJU8_gfsbo3t3piAWRZeKQSYd0mEXZTBgTaUDgKz8fb3R6WVKUyo4n6AcOSDuqSJFDpvjx-IyeKEkuafO-tqUiMH1l_zm2V/s320/erdogan3.jpg" width="320" height="257" /></a><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<p>With 100,000 teachers, academics, civil servants, judges, political opponents, soldiers, sailors, airmen and whig makers under arrest, Sultan Erdogan may well think he has finally buried the secularism of Ataturk. I'm not so sure. As I have predicted before, I think he may well be very lucky, quite soon, to get a one way ticket to Riyadh.

<br /></div>
<p>A 22 year old Dutch woman who made the mistake of reporting her rape to the authorities in Qatar, is to be deported after being fined $1,000 dollars and being given a 12 month suspended prison sentence.</p>
<p> In a sense, she was lucky. Throughout the Islamic world, women rape victims languish in jail to be flogged and sometimes executed. A majority of women in Pakistan's jails are there because they were raped. How is that possible? Simple. Under Sharia Law's perverted reasoning, being raped means having had sex outside marriage and therefore constitutes adultery. Totally wicked, totally Islamic.</p>

<br /></div>
<p>Since last July, the Scots polls have shown a steady 50% in favour of staying in the EU. Over the same period, there have been equally steady percentages for out and don't know of about 25 and 15 respectively. The latest polls are 55 in, 27 out and 18 don't know. It seems clear that Scotland will vote to remain. ( For Northern Ireland and Wales we are now getting stay in polls of 75 and 55 percent respectively )</p>
<p>After jiggering around a bit, with two weeks to go, the English vote is firming up towards a 55% out and and 45% in outcome. This English vote will be enough to take the whole of the UK out. So far, so good. The problem is that Scotland will not accept the result and allow itself to be dragged out of the Union by the English. The SNP will simply call another referendum and, I bet my bottom dollar, this time they will win. So, very soon it will be Ciao UK and Good Luck England!</p>

<p>Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, is not a democrat. He has declared that the will of electorates in the EU can be overturned if they produce governments that are not of his liking. He and other despots of the Commission have now apparently arrogated to themselves the power to crush at will any elected EU government. Countries like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Holland and France that have produced in democratic elections governments or large parties that reflect concern about mass immigration into Europe have been told that they will be ostracised and economically sanctioned for the views of their electorates. This is not just champagne socialism on meths, this is fascism. It is also a massive shot in the arm for Brexit. The Leavers might well ask who in their right mind would want to stay in a political organisation that is so shamelessly un-democratic?</p>
<p>I would say stay and reform the EU. Start the reform by sacking Juncker and those of his ilk. In the Union, Britain, with its great tradition of the paramountcy of parliament, could be a big and powerful reforming force.</p>

Varg Gyllander. Dan Eliasson. Henriette Reeker. Stockholm Syndrome by Proxy.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>The sad fact is that the men now flooding into Europe come for the most part from severely misogynistic and repressive Muslim societies where women and Non-Muslims are treated as second class citizens. Many come believing that even if Western Non-Muslim women are not all infidel slags gagging for it, they can treat them all as such and they can get away with it.</p>
<p>Hardly surprising as in the West the default reaction to the racist and sectarian attacks by Muslim men on Non-Muslim women is to always cover up and or make excuses. Here in Rotherham, Derby, Oxford and a score of other British towns, men of Pakistani origin have organised the grooming and abuse of young white girls on an industrial scale. Typically, the authorities in Rotherham denied that there was any problem at all. Confronted with the case of a 12 year old who had been groomed, drugged, sold around and raped more than 50 times, a senior police officer stated that it was the girl's life style choice! In Britain, the minimum age for a girl to have sex of any kind is 16.</p>
<p> In Sweden, which has admitted so many young Muslim men that there are now in the country as a whole 120 youths for every 100 girls, the rape rate is 10 times that for other European states. Self styled feminists have asserted that this scandalous statistic is simply due to the male/female inbalance which results in sexual violence wherever it occurs. Unfortunately for these bogus feminists, a 2006 study by Ann-Christine Hjelm at Karlstad University found that 85% of those jailed for rape in Sweden were foreign born or second generation migrants. Just last week, all Varg Gyllander, Stockholm pólice spokesperson, had to say about hushed up mass sexual assaults in his town was that there was no cover-up. Things just happen. Anything to say about the ethnicity, religion of the perps? " Oh no, we don't go to those dark places " Gives one, in passing, a rather alarming view of the Swedish police's crime prevention strategy. Perhaps I am being a tad unkind. Perhaps the Swedes simply don't consider rape, when committed by migrants, to be much of a crime. Meanwhile, Dan Eliasson, Stockholm police chief, who by his own admission vomits at the thought of anyone opposed to mass immigration, provides us with a lovely example of what I would call Stockholm Syndrome by Proxy. (The subject sympathises with the abuser of a person in the subject´s care ). Commenting on the stabbing to death by a Somali refugee of a young woman who volunteered to work with refugees, Eliasson said the Somali must have been through some horrible experiences. Gosh, that's allright then!</p>
<p> In Cologne, the police again at first declared that New Year's Eve had passed " calmly ". When the truth emerged, thanks largely to social media, that over 600 women had been attacked by migrants, the town's mayor, Henriette Reker, response was to call for the women of Cologne to alter their habits. No doubt she would like them to only step out in burkas in the company of a male family member.</p>
<p>We all know that for fear of stigmatising Muslim immigrants, authorities across Europe have failed to properly investigate and prosecute the sectarian and racist sexual crimes committed by some of these migrants. This is a gross betrayal of women and does not help the Muslims.In my opinión, those officials that have been party to this appalling dereliction of duty should be fired and robustly prosecuted.</p>
<p>Again, the profoundly misogynist, racist and sectarian amongst the migrants should be told that, for all the injustices that still persist, Europeans are proud of and will defend the equality between genders, all sexual orientations and belief (or lack thereof ) that have been fought for. If they cannot accept this, we will not tolerate their presence. Hopla! Ten-Four OutdaDoor!.</p>
<p>Will the Europeans authorities be firm? Probably not which means we are in for a lot of hand wringing and tears.</p>
<p>Personally, I would like Europe to short circuit the problem of dodgy males by following the humane example of Canada. Canada will now only accept women, children and spouses. No single men. </p>
<p>Of course, Canada can pick and choose. It has a sea barrier thousands of kilometers wide. Europe, with the open door of Greece, has one that is barely five kilometers. Europe also has no land barriers other than the frontiers of its southern states. Not great. Again, where would Europe deport its recalcitrant migrants to? Baghdad, Damascus, Algiers? Difficult to say the least. The migrants already in are all of them probably here to stay. It is vital for everyone that these migrants are forcefully educated to recognise, respect and enjoy the superiority of Western social democratic values.</p>
<p>In the end, if the European authorities throttle back the migrant tide they will do so not because of the way Muslims treat women but because Europe cannot take the numbers. Not even Germany has got the resources in terms of health, education, housing and general infrastructure to rapidly accommodate extra millions of any description.</p>
<p>Lets hope that peace in Iraq and Syria is not too long in coming. Now here´s an idea. As American and British forces created the Syria and Iraq mess and Germany and Sweden have triggered the East to West tsunami, lets have serious US, British, German and Swedish boots on the ground to enforce peace. Would they be seen as crusaders? Probably but who cares if they get the job done?</p> patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-59897713434801239042015-12-22T09:30:00.000-08:002016-07-16T12:08:14.504-07:00Saudi Arabia. Fountain of Evil*.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>What is beheading someone accused of " sorcery"? What is crucifying another for criticising the existing order? What is stoning a woman to death? Evil. In Saudi Arabia, these barbarities are law and are regularly perpetrated. They are perpetrated in the name of "Allah the Merciful". Here also, in Saudi Arabia, a man can divorce his wife by simply saying " I divorce you " three times. She is then out on her backside minus the kids. Here again is where you get serious slammer time if caught with a cross in your pocket. And so on and so on.</p>
<p>This depraved state of affairs is the consequence of the pact made between the House of Saud and the ghastly Wahabi clergy that insists on the merciless application of 8th C Koranic commands. The clergy enforces submission to the royals and the royals enforce submission to the clergy. It would be sad enough if these "laws" were visited only on natives and foreigners foolish enough to visit this benighted nation. The problem is that due to a monstrous accident of geology that endows their land with immense petro revenues, the Saudis can export the hideousness of their violent misogyny and intolerance across the globe. Financing toxic imams and mosques everywhere is exactly what they do.</p>
<p>Although they deny it, Saudis also bank-roll the foulest of their progeny; IS. The difference between IS and Saudi Arabia is less than the thickness of a cigarette paper.</p>
<p>*Saudi Arabia is of course not the only Fountain of Evil. Spare a thought for another which soon, thanks to Obama, will be armed with nuclear weapons. This other Muslim Theocracy, the Iran of the Ayatollahs, which funds the Shia extremists, is distinguished, amongst other things, for executing the most juveniles anywhere on the planet. This is not so surprising as it takes its inspiration from the now dead Grand Ayatollah Khomenei. Khomenei, clearly not in the slightest concerned with the rights of children, declared in his book of sayings "Tahir al Wasilah", that it was permissible to have sex with babies(females and sodomy only!) provided compensation was paid for any "damage" caused. What a guy, what a regime.</p>
<p> You all have a Kool Yule and a Brill New Year.</p.

" This has Nothing to do with Islam ". No.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div><p> Led this time by Theresa May, the cry has again gone up that " This has nothing to do with Islam." Sorry, but no. The murderers in London, New York, Paris, Madrid etc were not Amish or Catalan separatists. They were all Muslims. Again, the ideology of these Muslim killers across the globe is not some weird fabrication. It is in fact core Islamic dogma preached from Western China to Preston, to Lima and back. It is, as I have said rather often, intolerant, women hating and death loving. It is also cast in stone. It is a set of orders for every aspect of life " revealed " by God to Mohamed. Although of course, no more than the wish list of the cripplingly patriarchal 8th century desert Arab, it is deemed by Muslims to be immutable. How could you possibly question or reform the word of God?</p>
<p>Islam translates as Peace. Peace, that is, for Muslims alone. For the rest of us it is either dhimmitude, fourth class rights, or the peace of the grave. To list but a little of its contents, the Koran enjoins its faithful to " fight unbelievers lest God punishes you severely " to strike their necks ", " to kill them, seize them ( nice for getting slaves ) ". It says " you who believe; do not take Jews and Christians as friends or you will become one of them ". Again, " Judgement Day will not come until Muslims kill all the Jews. "</p>
<p>For women the message is simple. Total submission to the male. Your testimony as a woman is worth only a fraction of that of a man. You can be beaten, not on the face apparently, if you disobey the wishes of the male. The male can divorce you by simply saying " I divorce you" three times. This will result in you losing your children and the roof over your head.</p>
<p>At this point apologists, the West is crawling with them, will say that the Old Testament is full of similarly gross injunctions. Yes, but Christianity unlike Islam has had a reform or two. There are Christian nutters but none of them advocate death for dissenters, crucifiction and sexual slavery. These Christian nutters are also very small time compared to the millions, fed billions in petro-dollars, who proudly endorse and enact every word of the Koran blessed and egged on by thousands of mosques.</p>
<p>A little vignette to round of with concerning present day Islam. In Pakistan, a large number of women are held in prison because they were raped. Under the country's Islamic " law" they are deemed to have had sex outside marriage and have therefore committed adultery. The punishment for adultery is flogging and stoning. Bit of a double whammy.</p> patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-64072632279282060412015-11-16T05:43:00.000-08:002015-11-16T05:43:21.388-08:00The Violence of Islam.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

As long as the petrol money paid to these countries is fed directly back to mosques across the world that freely preach intolerance, misogyny and necrophilia, the production line of toxic nutters will continue.</p>
<p>Peace in the Middle East is of course essential but lets also hope that a serious look is taken at Islam's finances. Again, would it be too much to ask that, instead of always blaming everyone else, Islam took a very hard look at itself? Its not been a very pretty sight for far too long.</p>

<br /></div>
After sending out an invitation to all and everybody to emigrate to Germany, Angela Merkel found that her offer was actually being taken seriously. With tens of millions of mostly Muslims understandably speeding on their way, she gets cold feet and rushes off to Turkey to try and close the door. In Istanbul, she offers Erdogan billions and, in a reversal of her previous stance, complete EU membership. For Erdogan, with the dream of re-establishing an Ottoman State with himself as Sultan turning on an election in a couple of weeks, this is manna from heaven. In exchange, Erdogan has given an undertaking to try and control the refugee flow through his domain. With a couple of thousand km of covey coastline, he is not going to even have to lift a finger before saying to Merkel" Hey Doll; I did try!" Saudi Arabia meanwhile, has quickly offered what Germany is clearly going to need most; the paid for construction of 300 new German mosques.

<p>Putting UN Human Rights in the hands of Saudi Arabia is like, well...putting UN Human rights in the hands of Saudi Arabia. What can you say ? Not much. Another good reason though to set up a Democratic Union of states where elections are freely held ( for both genders and all political persuasions ) and where there is total freedom of expression. We can still go and have a laugh at the UN's collection of dictatorships whilst at the same time defending and promoting as a block proper civilised governance.</p>
<p>It is being said that machinations of the British Foreign Office played a major part in securing Saudi Arabia's take over of Human Rights. Nothing to be very proud of even if it boosts our sales of torture, crowd control and general wipe-out kit.</p>

Hijrah?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p> I like Angela Merkel because she was one of the few Western leaders to stand up for the Danish cartoonists. She was there to personally present one of them with a major freedom of expression award. Now, on behalf of Germany, with its historic guilt complex and declining population, she has declared that she is prepared to accept any number of immigrants. Slightly less moist, her foreign minister then talked of 500,000+ per annum for an indefinite number of years. Over a very short time, this will amount to tens of millions who for the most part will be Muslim victims of the poor governance of many Muslim countries.</p>
<p>Angel Merkel clearly believes that this change in population will not adversely affect Germany's liberal democratic culture. Given the difficulties in the West of integrating even modest numbers of Muslims, this, in my view, is pretty naive.</p>
<p>Seeing now that her open door invitation has turned the flow of illegal migrants overnight into a tsunami, Germany is frantically trying to bludgeon and blackmail( threatening the blocking of funds ) all the other Shengen members of the EU into sharing in the accommodation of the millions she has set in motion. If Germany wants like Sweden to become a Muslim nation it is perfectly entitled to do so. That is no reason, however, for her to drag other nations of Europe down a path that could well lead to cultural suicide. While it is clear that other European countries will have to take in some of the immigrants, it is only fair that Germany and Sweden between them should take the great majority as the tsunami is an understandable response to their incitement.</p>
<p>What might be done to regulated and reduce to manageble proportions the great tide of immigrants? In the first instance, it means securing the EU borders. This, rather sadly, means razor wiring all the southern borders and beefing up the sea patrols. The next thing is to try and sort out the main cause of the problem. Although some of the hopeful and desperate migrants come from beyond the Middle East ( Africa and the far East ), it is Iraq and and Syria that most need attention. These two countries must be made livable. This can only happen if the blood crazed are brought to heel. Perhaps the Germans and the Swedes with their admirable compassion can be persuaded to put boots on the ground and see to the total obliteration of IS. It would be a start, but don't hold your breath because when it comes to military action spinelessness, Germany and Sweden are Olympic Grand Champions.</p>
<p>Some are now claiming that the reason the Gulf states ( Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc ) have not offered sanctuary to a single refugee is that they want to encourage the movement of Muslims to the Infidel West. This is Hijrah or Jihad by emigration. You simply go to the kind and welcoming Infidel lands, settle and in short order set up a new Islamic state. Hijrah might be a thought in the minds of Islamic states but can't be a significant part of the drive behind the great westwards Muslim migration. If Saudi Arabia were to suddenly discover the notion of Islamic solidarity and open its door to the migrants, it would only affect a tiny number. As an Iraqi or Syrian who wants to have a life, would you hesitate for a moment between going to repressive and cruel Saudi Arabia on one hand and gentle and permissive Sweden on the other? Its a no-brainer. </p> patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466258494586557601.post-61925862308357836552015-07-27T11:41:00.000-07:002015-08-19T08:02:35.567-07:00Erdogan Helps Isis.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<p>More. Driven by sympathy for nut-case Sunni fundamentalism and fear of Kurdish autonomy, Turkey has always been a keen ally of Isis. Throughout Isis's existence, Turkey has kept its borders with Iraq and Syria wide open for the free passage of degenerates and supplies to Isis held territory.</p>
<p>The Kurds of Syria and Iraq have been the only effective boots on the ground opponents of Isis. Heroic Kurdish fighting, as at Kobani, with the backing of Western airpower has resulted in the capture by the Kurds of a long swathe of erstwhile Isisdom along the Iraq/Syria border with Turkey. This has alarmed Ankara as it has resulted in a considerable increase in the territory of Free Kurdistan from its cradle in North East Iraq and throttled Turkey's commerce and beloved intercourse with Isis.</p>
<p>Inspired by the Isis suicide bomb attack on Kurdish volunteer relief workers in Sunuc, just over the border from ravaged Kobani in Syria, and a few subsequent violent protests by Turkish Kurds over Turkey's evident involvement, the not-so-bright Turkish P.M. Erdogan had an idea!</p>
<p>Go through the motion of dropping on Isis a few bombs that will not hit their purported targets and let the US use one Turkish airport. Then, you get on with the real business which is to seriously bomb the Kurds everywhere from the Iranian border to Kobani and points further west. This "master" plan, which may well have been given the green light by the equally dumb Pentagon, is now well underway. Apart from doing in any Kurdish autonomous entity in Iraq/Syria, this plan is a means, he believes, of securing a satisfactory outcome to an autumn rerun of recent parliamentary elections. In June, the People's Democratic Party ( HDP ), a left, tolerant and egalitarian grouping, won 13% of the vote depriving Erdogan of the majority that would have allowed him to change Turkey's Ataturk constitution for a total Islamic mess. Since setting fire to his country, Erdogan has arrested, <i>en masse</i>, HDP supporters and Kurdish activists in the hope that the violence he has generated will allow him to win his majority in the upcoming election as Mr Law and Order. </p>
<p>Erdogan' cynical plans may well get him what he wants in the short term but his throwing petrol and fire at the Kurds and moderate Turks will probably result in a civil war that kills many and sees him finally, and mercifully, packing his bags with a one way ticket to either Saudi Arabia or the USA.</p>

<p>Although, I suppose you shouldnt generalise about races, I have to say I have a soft spot for the Greeks. From their deep past they gave us all a lot; arts , science and philosophy. I also remember them forever fighting fascists against imposible odds ; Persians, Turks and Germans. For the present, whenever I´ve been to their beautiful country, I´ve pretty well always found them to be friendly and straight dealing. Whilst its true that all pervading corruption and the incompetance of their leaders has got them into a dark place, the harshness of conditions imposed on them has not helped. These conditions didnt improve matters they simply drove down the whole of society. I just hope that when they leave the euro they dont also crash out of the EU. For me, there is no Europe without Greece. I ardently hope they quickly find their way to the good future they deserve.</p>

<br /></div>
<p>So he was. When one of his generals questioned his total extermination proposals, he replied " Who remembers the Armenians?" If the Allied victors of the first World War had prosecuted Nuremberg style the Turkish monsters responsible for what they themselves called the " Armenian Solution ", it is possible that he would not have embarked with such alacrity on his own " Final Solution ".</p>
<p>A hundred years ago this month, on trumped up charges of disloyalty, the Muslim Turkish authorities got going with the task of murdering all of its Christian Armenian minority. They managed to kill 1.8 million out of a total of two million. They did this with forced marches without food and water into the Syrian desert and industrial scale hangings, shootings and bayoneting of infants, women and men. All this, of course, accompanied by rapings* whenever the monsters felt so inclined.</p>
<p>Not to be forgotten also is the material gains made by the Turks, the loot they trousered from those they slaughtered. The Turks owe the Armenians a very big pile of dosh. A conservative estimate, in today's money, would be in the region of £100 billion. The prospect of being sued for reparations with interest of this magnitude is one of the reasons Turkey will never willingly own up to what they did. The other is simply innate nastiness.</p>
<p>When the European Union recently voted to officially declare this massacre to be a genocide, Turkish PM Erdogan said that the announcement " went in one ear and out the other ". Now there's a surprise! Turkey has always been in shameless denial of what it did and is likely to remain blithely so for the foreseeable future. It is time, however, for the UK and the USA to finally stop pandering to the Turks and join the majority of civilised nations by saying loudly and clearly; "you did it you buggers and it was genocide!! ".</p>
<p>* Turkey's blood drenched history has never been burdened with the slightest act of chivalry towards those it vanquished. You take all the sexually abusable girls and women, enslave what you can of the males and slaughter the rest. The Armenian Genocide policy of the Turks was no exception. Its all pervading sexual nature was made clear to George Horton the American consul in Smyrna.The Turks told him quite openly that they didn't understand why they shouldn't eliminate all the Armenians once they had rammed the attractive Armenian females into their harems.

<p> Homage in particular to the women Kurdish fighters who fought as fiercely and as long as their male counterparts. With the aid of Allied Bombing raids, in an epic two month battle, they saw off the degenerate Isis slavers who had tried to seize Kobane. It cost the Kurds dearly. Around 200 dead and large parts of their town devastated. For Isis, it was a first and major reverse. It was Stalingrad with over 1000 of its barbarians sent to cop their nightly 72 ( or is it 69 ; I can never remember ) virgins.</p>
<p>In the Kurdish society from which these remarkable people come, men and women are given equal standing and representation in all political, administrative and military organisations. We in the West are way behind them.</p>
<p>One of the wonderful footnotes to come out of this conflict is that the Kurdish women terrorised Isis: if you get killed by a woman there is no heaven, no virgins, nothing. What a bummer!</p>patrick vidaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04795698542218275093noreply@blogger.com1
