Treppenwitz Goes Where Only Jay Did Not Fear to Tread?

For a few weeks I've pondered writing out a long, tightly reasoned, evidentially heavy, essay on what it is we are facing and why we are not facing it well....but at this moment I'm just too tired, in truth exhausted, as well as dispirited, in truth disgusted, as well as preoccupied by things of personal significance, to carry out any such project. So, as a sop unto that distant day where the essay sees print, here is a post from the Trappenwitz blog, by David Borden [?], giving a series of rabbit punches to the Islam is MultiCulti Peace theme. Interspersed throughout, inside [...], are some oddjob comments of mine. To any who are offended by David's, or my, words, I have but one thing to say: O que vais fazer quando encontras o Camelo na came, Pateta?


"IT'S ISLAM, Stupid

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, American comedians didn't quite dare wade into the topic of the new reality. For several weeks following the attack, the stand-up acts were strangely devoid of anything related to homeland security or terrorism. That is, until Jay Leno stepped up and decided that enough was enough.

In his opening monologue one evening he delivered what has since become a classic bit:

"I'm not saying they're profiling at the airports these days. But if your first name is 'Mohammed' and your last name isn't 'Ali'... leave a little extra time."

He nailed it. "

[Actually, I remember CAIR protesting to NBC about this, demanding Jay apologize...did he? ]

"Unfortunately, for some reason the people who are paid to understand such things still don't 'get' the prescient truth behind Leno's timely joke."

[What, Pepe Le Pew get's paid?]

"With the exception of North Korea, every single trouble spot on the planet can be directly tied to the doctrine of Islam."

[Well, I would qualify this with "Major International" trouble spot.]

" Please take note that I didn't use the words 'radical' or 'militant' to modify the word Islam. Islam, as preached and practiced from it's primary source (the Koran), is quite simply incompatible with other cultures and religions. Since its inception in the 7th century, Islam has demanded that its followers submit themselves completely to the will of Allah... and that they in turn bend the rest of the world completely to the pitiless domination of Islam.

The best any non-Muslim can expect according to the Pact of Umar is a barely-tolerated status known as 'Dhimmi'... which is basically a subservient second class status in Muslim society. In short, Islam does not play nicely with others. It's all or nothing."

[Question, I'm curious, does the root/prefix "dimi", as in "diminutive", "diminish", come from dhimmi?]

"Since Islam was invented (yes, you read that correctly) it has been the cause of countless wars, conquests and overt attempts to dominate the known world. Throughout its history, Islamic leaders have made absolutely no secret of their intentions to carry out Allah's global ambitions. And in every generation since, the non-Muslims of the world have said to themselves (as we are again saying to ourselves today), that they don't really mean it... that this is just the way those people talk and it is a cultural thing for which we need to make allowances."

[On a related note, while doing research for a now "in limbo" project on the fall of Constantinople I read a 13th century analysis, by a priest, of "The Cult of Mecca". He specifically raised the question on whether the adherents of this cult really meant what they said about unbelievers and the ambitions of Islam [his conclusion was that most did].]


"I honestly don't understand this willful blindness.

Listen up people... they mean it! Really!!! When people in charge of nearly limitless resources and vast armies stand up and state quite openly that they intend to wipe a country off the map, they mean it! When these leaders state their intention to return to the lines of demarcation (and beyond) where previous Muslim invasions/conquests faltered in Europe... they mean it. "

[Well, Poitiers is certainly in their grasp today! ]

"When they tell us in the most unambiguous, straightforward language that they won't stop until they have conquered the world... THEY REALLY MEAN IT!

Every advance in global communication and travel that should have made the world a better, smaller, safer place to live has been exploited by Islam as a weapon against us. Because of the tenets of Islam, every man woman and child must now wait in endless lines to enter public buildings and travel on buses, trains and airplanes. And each time we think we have figured out a way to return to some semblance of normalcy in our daily lives, we discover (often too late) that Muslims have figured out a new way to target us and kill us in large numbers."

[Perhaps their corporate motto should be "Better Killing Through Chemistry"?]

"Over the past few days British and U.S. security officials have been interviewed about the new security measures in place after the [apparently] foiled attempt to smuggle liquid explosives onto a bunch of trans-Atlantic flights. Their solutions make absolutely no sense! They have little old ladies from Peoria throwing away their Florida Water. They have teenagers dumping shampoo, hair gel and conditioners from their purses and backpacks. They have people tossing out their contact lens solution!!!"

[And they have AI bereft of lotions and emollients with not so much as a pence of restitution. Fortunate for AA's composure that he was not travelling with his Box of Port at the time]

"What they aren't doing is mining the database which contains the name and salient details of every Muslim man woman and child in the free world (a database I assure you exists), and demanding that every one of these potential jihadists be subjected to the same waiting period to buy a plane ticket as most U.S. citizens have to endure before purchasing a handgun. "

[ Hell, if the uber-effective Able Danger was shitcanned for being unPC what chance does the above version have? ]

"There it is. Call me a racist. Call me a bigot. Call me whatever you want. "

[No doubt the Pepean Way would call you "Ridiculeuse"]

"Obviously not every Muslim in the world is actually a terrorist or dreams gleefully of subjugating the world under the heel of Islam. But the ones who don't represent a clear and present threat to us are the exception rather than the rule. To pretend otherwise and formulate our approach to dealing with our enemies based on our experience with this tiny minority of benign Muslims is insanity."

[We moderns have built Madness on Methodless Madness. That is our Triumph]

"The Muslim countries and individuals that have proven themselves (thus far, anyway) capable of peaceful coexistence with non-Muslim cultures are those who have deliberately moved towards secularization of their religion and society. They have basically created an 'Islam Lite' that preserves many of the cultural touchstones if Islam without demanding the subservience and militancy of the Full Monty Wahhabi. What does it say about a religion that in order for it to coexist peacefully with other cultures and faiths it must be de-clawed of its more dangerous statutes?"

[It says it is a Feral Religion]

"Just because we can point to Jordan or Egypt and say, "See... it's possible to be both Muslim and a peaceful neighbor", is no disproof of what I've said here. Both of these countries have had mixed results creating secular societies, and as a result are facing destabilizing internal insurgencies from their religious citizens."

[They have as much of a future as Hirsan Ali does in Holland]

"Likewise, we can point to many wonderful Muslim individuals around the world who are neither personally dangerous nor supporters of global Jihad. But these people are marginal players in their own societies and would certainly not put their lives at risk telling the Mullahs to just 'give peace a chance'. I mean, did you ever notice that these moderate Muslims are always calling on the non-Muslim world (especially Israel and the U.S.) to be the ones to back down in the face of threats and violence... y'know, as a humanitarian gesture? Yet all the while Islam remains on the march with no hint of concession or regret in sight."

[There are many Muslims with the courage of their convictions....but, by some bizarre coincidence, a true probabilistic marvel, they are almost never, ever, the moderate ones ]

"The sudden massive immigration of Muslims into western Europe over the past 30 years is no accident or coincidence. This is a conquest plain and simple, although without the swords and horses most refuse to recognize it as such. Europe has historically been able to tolerate immigration because their own cultures have been strong enough to absorb and influence the new arrivals. "

[Enfin, Enfants de La Patrie, c'est Le Fin]

"Of course, we Jews know from painful experience that refusal to be absorbed can lead to unwanted negative attention from European hosts. Perhaps the Europeans learned the lesson too well with us (the Jews) and are therefore doubly vulnerable to the Muslim hordes. "

[Nah. You Jews were weak and lacked feistiness. So it was easy for Euros, even the French, to find their semblance of courage....Muslims don't have the same...'reputation' shall we say? And Europe, particularly the French, behave accordingly]

"But make no mistake... these aren't a bunch of wandering Huguenots or Jews who refuse to be absorbed into European society. Islam demands the home team advantage even when on the road... and is acting as an aggressive, belligerent cancer that has metastasized on the vital organs of European society. "

[sort of like the Yankees being Islam and the Red Sox being the hapless Kufr?]

"Think about this for a moment: A practitioner of a non-Muslim religion would be barred from most outward practices of his or her faith in any Muslim country. But let anyone or anything trod on the toes of Islamic practices anywhere in the free world and there will be riots and murder in the streets.

Let a Muslim be arrested for breaking the law... rioting, destruction and murder ensue.

Let a cartoon be drawn that insults any aspect of Islam... rioting, destruction and murder ensue.

Let anyone suggest that women be photographed for national identity cards in such a way that they can actually be identified (i.e. without a veil or chador)...rioting, destruction and murder ensue."

[Islam is nothing if not consistent...No fear of hobgoblins in those small minds!]

"Throughout the free world there are now cultural no-go zones where the police, politicians and even military dare not tread for fear of inciting Muslim violence"

[You mean like Dearborn and Hamtrack? ].

"A Buddha can't be tolerated in Afghanistan. A crucifix is an affront in Iran. Entire Jewish communities in every Muslim country have been uprooted and expelled (and all their holdings and property seized by the mobs). Yet I challenge you to name a city in Western Europe where the skyline isn't marred by turgid minarets and where the residents aren't subjected to the amplified din of the muezzin from pre-dawn til late at night."

[Not major city at least....but, hey, if Mayor Menino had his way Boston would now be in that happy place]

"The west willfully turns a blind eye to the abuse of women and children and tacitly condones honor killings in our midst. Our laws are well written and equipped to deal with these issues... yet those sworn to uphold and defend the laws are fearful of lighting the powder keg called 'Muslim Sensibilities'.

And yet each time Muslims up the stakes in their declared war on the rest of the world, we pretend they don't really mean it. We patronize them and infantalize them... and we pooh-pooh their rantings and crimes as we would those of an ill-behaved child. At a certain point one has to wonder if world leaders are just stupid or if they are actually complicit in the attacks on their own societies!"

[One can be both stupid and complicit, can one not?]

"Anyone who gets on TV and says that Islam is a religion of peace is either an ignoramus or a liar. "

[Unfortunately, a large demographic...particularly in our universities and "elite" institutions]

"Anyone who stands up after a kidnapping and tells the world not to worry about the welfare of the hostages because Islam requires that prisoners be treated humanely, is pulling a Jedi mind trick in an attempt to make us forget the countless hostages that have been tortured, shot, knifed or beheaded to satisfy the ongoing blood-lust of a 7th Century L.Ron Hubbard*. "

[But, hey, at least some of the Prisoners/Captives seem to escape death or torture. Perhaps even more than win the Powerball lottery ]

"Wake up folks!"

[What, and forego the bliss of Ouzo?]


"The people who are funding and carrying out these attacks are Muslims. It isn't that they just happen to be Muslims. If you take the time to read the Koran (instead of blindly taking the world of Muslim murderers and apologists) it is full of very straight-forward directives to dominate, subjugate, and if necessary, kill the infidel while taking over the world.

Each time a Muslim politician gets up after an attack and claims that the terrorists do not act in the name of Muslims and that such attacks are damaging the standing if Islam around the world, you can bet they are speaking in English... and that the version delivered to their co-religionists will be an Arabic or Farsi riff on Queen's hit 'We are the Champions'!"

[Queen and Village People are indeed a fave of the Madrassah set]

"The answer isn't to negotiate with Islam. The streets are no longer safe. Travel is no longer safe. Commerce is no longer safe. Even speaking or writing what we think is risking a death sentence! We can't possibly concede anything more to Islam because, quite literally, we have nothing left to give. Any concessions from here on in will simply amount to handing them our little remaining autonomy and freedom piece-by-piece. "

[oh, there is always something left to give...money, land, women, your head]


"Yes folks, we are witnessing the beginning of the end in the global war of cultures... and true to form, we still refuse to even name the enemy.

[ But, if one names the enemy, doesn't that put a crimp in the "Nuance and Sophistication" lifestyle?]
