All religions are equally valid

They all have basically the same moral code and really what are the real differences between them?

Some girls are dedicated to the goddess at age two or three. They won’t actually enter into sex work until they reach puberty at around twelve. The girls most at risk of being dedicated will have grown up in very matriarchal Devadasi communities. There aren’t any men. They don’t have fathers. So there probably is some understanding from a young age that they’re not from traditional families, they don’t have husbands.

The girls probably won’t have a real understanding of the sex work element until what they call their ‘first night’. This is when their virginity is sold to a local man, normally the highest bidder. He might be a local farmer, landowner or businessman. Some of them say, “I was dedicated to the goddess, but I didn’t know this was what was expected.”

Don't they all point the way to God by different paths?

Blah blah blahbbity blah...

No comment needed...

Rajinder Singh is flicking through the Pakistani channels on his Sky box from his sofa in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Dressed in a crimson turban, he sits a metre from the enormous screen, translating the odd phrase for my benefit. He's trying to show me why he's determined to join the British National Party – the only party he considers "brave" enough to "break out of the burkha called political correctness".

...

He says he's been loyal to the BNP since he first heard BNP leader Nick Griffin on television in late 2001. "He used the word 'Islam'. And I thought, 'He's brave, he has conviction,'" Singh says. "I thought, 'It's amazing what you've said: I've always been thinking that, since my childhood.'" He wrote Griffin letters of support and eventually provided him with a character reference at his 2005 trial for inciting racial hatred. Singh has voted for the BNP in every local and general election since discovering them. "I couldn't keep away."

Oops!

Fell of my chair laughing there for a second.

Better now.

Welcome Shaidlettes

Thanks for the link Kathy.

Now I want everyone to go over to Shaidle is a Racist and post a comment.


Update: Man I haven't had a commbox dustup in ages! Forgot how fun it is to shoot fish in a barrel. Almost as fun as tripping blind people and kicking Gypsy beggars.

and...

WooHoo! Watch that sitemeter FLY!

Congratulations Kathy !!

Kathy hits paydirt.



Some years ago now, I was working in the Toronto head office of Campaign Life Coalition and a colleague and friend of mine came dashing into my office grinning as wide as a Yonge street crack addict who'd just rolled an old lady on pension day.

"What? what? Did you win something?"

"Got my first death threat."

Ghah! It's not FAIR! I've been blogging and making snippy comments for years and never, ever had even one teeny little death threat.

Now this.

She even gets a whole website (ok, it's just a blogspot blog, but still...) all about how she's an eeeeevil racist.

Hhmmpp!

Obviously time to post a photo of my BNP membership card.

A commenter at BCL is threatening to file a Section 13 complaint against me.

Finally!!

I've been TRYING to get a "hate speech" complaint for years now, by purposefully saying politically incorrect things about every ethnic group, including my own, on this blog.

(I'm old enough to remember George Carlin -- who, incidentally, made up the idea that there were "Seven Words You Couldn't Say on the Radio" [the FCC had no such rule until he gave them the idea] and Lenny Bruce doing that with "swear words"; I'm just doing it with the new "unspeakables".)

After all, such a complaint would be great publicity for me and would help me get a lot of donations and sell a ton of books.

Plus I plan to ignore it completely, other than writing GO SCREW YOURSELF on the official complaint and faxing it back to the HRC office.

People are always asking me:

Why doesn't somebody, for once, just ignore one of these complaints, refuse to recognize the HRC's "authority" over them, and see what happens?

You may be about to find out.

Well, it's not quite the same thing, but along the same lines. A well-known journalist friend of mine in Canada once had some Islamonutter try to lodge a complaint against him with something like the Canadian Journalists Association (or whatever it is). The forms were duly filled out and of course, it being Canada, he was sent a form of his own to fill out to say what his response was.

He wrote, neatly and in the little box provided:

"Fuck off".

"letterbox ladies"

Welcome to Saudi Britain

I hear Pat's been censored by Youtube.

I wonder how many threats of violence that took.

from the US State Dept.

c. Freedom of Religion in Sweden

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. The Government did not prohibit the practice or teaching of any faith. There is no state church.

Citizens are tolerant of diverse religions practiced in the country; however, the numbers of reported anti-Semitic crimes and tendencies have increased over the past several years. There is also a very small, but sporadically active, fascist and neo-Nazi movement. In April, there was an attempted arson at the purification room of the Jewish cemetery in Malmo.

The Government continued to take steps to combat anti-Semitism by increasing awareness of Nazi crimes and the Holocaust. [Sooooo, the government thinks that Germans or skinheads are the big problem with anti-semitic attacks in Malmo? Or do they just want everyone to think they think that?]

Since 2001, threats against the Muslim community have increased. In April, the Islamic school and large parts of the Islamic Center in Malmo were destroyed in a fire that police later determined was arson; the police investigation continued at year's end.

Multiculturalism in practice. Works great huh?

Falling down on the job

Haven't done any Islamophobe racist stuff in ages.

Aaages.

And we know how I hate to disappoint my fans.

Civilisation-phobia

"...No shortage of politicians, however, lining up to accuse the film of falsely equating Islam with violence. Which is a bit like falsely equating Walt Disney with Mickey Mouse...Islam without violence is like an egg-free omelette. The religion is predicated on violence and the threat of violence. It's a religion of peace in the same way that North Korea is a people's democratic republic. But we're not allowed to say that, because if we do, we'll be threatened with violence."

How to tell if you suffer from Islamism:
Symptoms iclude
eleutherophobia: fear of freedom
epistomophobia: fear of knowledge
catagelophobia: fear of being ridiculed

In general a morbid aversion to growing up, dealing with reality and a pathological need to blame others for your own faults.

It certainly does not surprise me that the Islams and the "liberal left" have become such closely intertwined symbiotes. The psychology of whiney permanently offended adolescence is identical. The need to make the world conform to their ideas and a total inability to contemplate the possibility that they are in need of moral improvement.

The sexual deviancy is the same too. Never met a bigger bunch of sexual perverts than the social and moral activists on the left, except perhaps among frustrated adolescent boys. But I've never been to a mosque.


Bombturban quote of the week:

“Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I am with you. Give firmness to the Believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.’“ (Koran 8:12)

Now there's a god I'd be keen to worship.

(Don't worry Anastasia, when the time comes, I'm sure your new overlords will be happy to let you shoot me.)

So that's how it's done

I wondered:

Is this the tolerance that our thought-police take pride in?

The apparatchiks of the equality industry merely have to contemplate the sector of their psyche wherein their self-righteous emotions reside: and if these are sufficiently overwrought, they decide that a hate-crime has been committed.

Do the math

I'm no good at arithmetic, which is why these kinds of things don't often keep me awake at night.

I don't think most Muslims are "extremists" or "murderers." I'd say that real, genuine "radical Islamists" who dance around whooping with glee when some psychopath flies a plane into a skyscraper in the name of Allah, probably only make up 10-15% of Muslims.

Unfortunately, that small number, in a world that has over a billion Muslims, adds up to over 100 million fanatically evil people.

Which is why I'm glad that other people, people whom I know from personal experience are really good at maths, are taking care of this issue.

Now, the latest from Pat Condell



"Now technically, that's not racist of them, because Islam is not a race, so that's OK then. But anyone who criticises it is a racist because language means whatever we want it to mean in the topsy-turvy world of multicultural hypocrisy where everyone in the West is automatically guilty of crimes committed by their ancestors, should be deeply ashamed of their identity and spend their whole lives apologising for it."

(Just in case "Anastasia" was starting to think I was neglecting her education.)

"The race card is a Joker"

I'm with Kathy. There is something terribly thrilling about being called names by people on the left.

Especially the ones who are busy pretending not to be on the left, particularly in the British "pro-life" "movement". The trouble with this country is that its people have become so thoroughly brainwashed that they don't have any idea what their own political positions are. Since being here, I've seen that they are almost completely insulated from other points of view and explaining political ideas to them is like trying to describe water to a fish.

In this space, we've discussed the erosion of meaning of what I've called the Claxon Words. "Racist", "homophobe", "anti-choice extremist", and the now almost completely devalued "fascist", that are among the milder things I've been called over the years as a pro-life activist. But it is as a student of language and culture that the use of these terms by the left as claxons becomes interesting. They are words that have ceased to have any meaning of their own (and in many cases, never had any to start with), and now function entirely as alarms to make sure no one is talking about what we're talking about; reasoned discussion of the points at hand must immediately stop while we clear the room and call in the Haz-Mat team.

Screaming "racist" is the ultimate distraction technique, like yelling "fire" in a theatre when you're having an argument you suddenly realise you can't win.

Kathy writes:

Calling someone a "racist" no longer means a thing, precisely because terrorist sympathizers like El-Mo and his leftwing enablers have overused the word.

A racist is a conservative who's winning an argument with a liberal (or a "progressive" or a Muslim).

That's why I love being called a "racist." It says more about the person accusing me than it does about me.

That is, it indicates that they are brainwashed, lazy idiots who know I'm right, but can't bear the awful truth. And they sense -- correctly -- that most people feel the same way I do, and are just too intimidated to speak up.

Like me, the average person is tired of illiterate losers bitching about "racist words" like "niggardly" and "devil's food cake" or "black holes". And we're really tired of elites trying to get us to feel guilty about making commonsense observations about other people.

The race card is a Joker.

I'm with Kathy. When people call me a "racist" for daring to have an occasional independent political thought, I usually mark my calendar and give myself a point.

Random Blasts from the Past - October 4, 2005

Got Pigs?

One of the reasons I don't like to do politics much here is because other people do it so much better than I. It's not really my main thing. But as was pointed out to me by a good Polish (Traditional) Catholic theology professor, man is a political animal and one cannot talk intelligibly about him without politics.

Particularly not now that religion and politics are veering back towards each other so quickly and so violently.

Kathy put this up a couple of days ago. (A follow-up for this.)

I have seen the pig thing making the rounds and I think I understand why. Piglet is really one of those ancient race-memories for the Western (OK, English) world. He's one of those inviolable icons, violations of which goes to the bottom of the Cold/Warm War we are again fighting with our ancient foe.

To ban Piglet in Britain is to many minds, an admission of unconditional surrender. Once Piglet is gone, England is gone, and the West will follow. The invasion, moreover, was not by physical invasion - the Channel remains the unbreached barricade - it was done when the leftist traitors lowered the drawbridge and invited the enemy inside in the name of "tolerance". Is this going to be the turning point? Are the outraged Enlglish going to rise up in defence of their culture?

I'm taking bets.

Actually I'm of the mind that the Muslim problem, coming as it did at the crisis point in the cultural collapse of Westernesse, is one of the saving acts of God. It is forcing us to go back to defining what is and is not us, so we can make a strong showing against them. It is merely the final inevitable outcome of the self-hatred of the West, it is being pointed out elsewhere and everywhere, if the West has lost confidence in the reasons for its existence, which it seems to have done, why should not the ancient enemy rise up and take the opportunity? Those who remain who still know why the West was good, will fight. Those who want to appease will face what appeasers have always faced.

Perhaps an awkward way of putting it, but, as usual, Steyn does it better.

Alas, the United Kingdom's descent into dhimmitude is beyond parody. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Tory-controlled) has now announced that, following a complaint by a Muslim employee, all work pictures and knick-knacks of novelty pigs and "pig-related items" will be banned. Among the verboten items is one employee's box of tissues, because it features a representation of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

I do agree though that the Disney version of Piglet, that horrid imposter, needs to be banned. All his images ought to be collected as were the works of the heretics of old and burned in the public square with plenty of holy water on hand to banish his foul ghost.

The Free Pigia movement is sweeping the bloggers (for the next five minutes)

Are we there yet?

And if not, how much further can we watch the Islamic occupation and desecration of our Catholic patrimony? How much longer can we stand by watching the smiling hierarchy holding the door open for these savages to squat [literally] in our most sacred sites?

"...in Florence, [Orianna Felacci's] hometown, in 1999. As a political protest, Moslems erected a tent on Cathedral Square and lived in it for 3 ½ months. Fallaci describes their behaviour, including how they would piss and shit on the church. She shows you that they were exhibiting not a mere lack of respect for her culture, but out-and-out contempt and disdain.

But people are afraid to react because if you criticise or object to their actions, you will be accused of being a racist. And everyone in Europe is afraid to be labelled a racist.

Fallaci wonders how so many Moslems get to Europe, and where they get the money. She wonders if they are being funded – sent over by “some Ousama Bin Ladin for the mere purpose of establishing the Reverse Crusade’s settlements and better organising Islamic terrorism.”

I'd just like to note: I'm starting to be quite keen on being called a 'racist'.


H/T to Kathy

Speaking of zombies

One of the Canuckistan Five, Jonathan Kay writes about a memo from Canada's politburo CHRC:

In Ottawa, the attempted censorship of Canadian magazines in the name of “human rights” has caused such a backlash that some politicians are openly talking about amending the Human Rights Act (HRA). But the Ontario Human Rights Commission hasn’t gotten the memo: In a politically tone-deaf statement released on Wednesday, the OHRC told Canadians that it covets the same censorship powers that have brought so much discredit to its counterparts in Ottawa and other provinces.

Of particular concern to the OHRC is Islamophobia, “a form of racism that includes stereotypes, bias or acts of hostility towards Muslims and the viewing of Muslims as a greater security threat on an institutional, systemic and societal level.” (I am quite curious about the use of the word “stereotype” here. One supposes that all sorts of Jewish, Buddhist, Ba’hai and Confuscian terrorist cells are getting busted up all the time — but the Islamophobic media never reports it.)

...and those Amish...what are they up to anyway? Eh? Eh?! Think we believe they're just raising barns? What's in the barns? I think we deserve to know.

All the details and background here and here.

Drop a shilling or two in Kathy's tip jar to cover her upcoming legal expenses.

Yes, I know

that Gordon Brown, despite a report from the Peers, has insisted that there must be no cap (read: "control") on immigration from non-EU countries.

Door's open folks, come on in.

I refuse to blog about it. It's too depressing.

Go read it yourself if you're so keen.

I'm happier thinking up cat names, thanks.
