The Importance of Blasphemy.

by Daniel Greenfield

 

As a deeply religious person, I have no fondness for blasphemy. My religion and its holy books are sacred to me. And I understand perfectly well why a Muslim would not relish a cartoon of a naked Mohammed.

 

But the debates over freedom of speech and the sensitivity of religious feelings also miss the point.

 

Blasphemy is the price we pay for not having a theocracy. Muslims are not only outraged but baffled by the Mohammed cartoons because they come from a world in which Islamic law dominates their countries and through its special place proclaims the superiority of Islam to all other religions.

 

Almost all Muslim countries are theocracies of one sort or another as a legacy of the Islamic conquests which Islamized them.

 

Egyptian President Sisi’s gesture of attending a Coptic mass was so revolutionary because it challenged the idea that Egyptian identity must be exclusively Islamic.

 

And Egypt is far from the most hard line of Islamic countries in the Middle East, despite a brief takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood in the aftermath of Obama’s Arab Spring.

Drive-by shooting targeting Biden's home. Biden wasn't home at the time.

 

Targeting? It was hundreds of yards away.

 

The more accurate story would be "Gunshots heard in vicinity of Biden's private home."

 

 

And why the hell is this in the "Islamic Terrorism" thread?

Dear France, Here's a James Taylor song. Hope you feel better.

 

 

The last time John Kerry told someone in Paris "you've got a friend" it was the North Vietnamese. So this is actually an improvement.

Actually I am glad that this happened and Obama and Kerry exposed themselves. It’s always useful when people reveal that they haven’t a clue what their opponents believe.

Nothing like a foreign policy based on Eskimo kisses.

Why Won’t Obama Just Say Radical Islam Is Our Enemy?

 

His whole piece is worth reading, but the short summary is that American counterterrorism policy, to varying degrees over time, has assumed that we want the support of Muslim allies — many of whom don’t love vociferous condemnations of their religion, even just the extreme bits of it. There are varying degrees of this kind of accommodation: Accepting essentially radical but non-violent allies, especially clerics, as the Obama administration has, or just worrying, in general, about the sensitivities of our key Arab allies (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf kingdoms). Regardless, it’s left American foreign policy in the same place, with a diplomatic code that requires non-Muslims to keep saying they don’t see their enemies as representing true Islam.

 

Of course, the explanation says nothing about whether the bargain we’ve made is a wise one.

What Bob Menendez said

 

Senator Robert Menendez is the ranking (Democratic) member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This morning at a committee hearing he said this to Obama administration national security adviser Anthony Blinken and Treasury official (and prospective CIA deputy director) David Cohen: “I have to be honest with you, the more I hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of Tehran"

If there are enough votes to override a veto -- and many talking heads on both sides of aisle are starting to think there are -- Obama will suffer another full gatorman moment.

From Foreign Policy:

 

Critics of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy have for years assailed his administration for responding too slowly to crises ranging from Syria to Russia. In a far-reaching blueprint released Friday that outlines the administration’s worldview,
the White House insisted the United States is leading the global effort to confront challenges in a deliberate manner described as “strategic patience

 

The National Security Strategy, required by U.S. law, is intended to set the direction for the administration and communicate American intent to lawmakers, the public, and the world. It is Obama’s second such strategy, and likely last, before he leaves office in early 2017.

 

It aims to rebut criticism that he has consistently waited too long to respond to challenges like the rise of the Islamic State and Moscow’s military aggression in Ukraine, allowing the problems to worsen while his administration debated ways to act. And it represents a defiant defense of Obama’s leadership.

 

 

 

Because nothing says “defiant” like … “strategic patience”?

 

We are so screwed.

 

 

 

Strategic Patience....................................What ? was Dithering obfuscation already taken ?

Islam’s Countless Slaves :If President Obama wants to draw a moral equivalence between religions, he should know some history.

 

slavery.jpg?w=210&h=105

 

Defending Islam in front of our religious leaders last week, our president not only invoked the Crusades but seized the opportunity to excoriate the United States for formerly justifying chattel slavery in Christian terms, his tone suggesting that chains are rattling still. Indeed, along with the treatment of American Indians, slavery remains a horrid blot on our past, one that not even the blood that 750,000 Americans shed in the war ending the “peculiar institution” washed away (forget that we are the only nation that fought a civil war to free its slaves).

 

We’re guilty. Forever. And nothing can lessen our shame.

 

But in support of the Left’s current vogue for “fairness,” I now expect our president to follow up by convening a special meeting of Muslim clerics to chastise them for the 14 centuries of slavery under Islam that, in its scope, scale, duration, and cruelty, exceeded the outrages of any other slave-based civilization.

 

In seizing non-Muslims as slaves, the human beasts of the Islamic State caliphate are only carrying on an honored tradition. That is Islam, Mr. President. And it always has been.

 

But let us, unlike our president, be honest. The Prophet Mohammed is reputed to have freed dozens of his slaves and to have encouraged his followers to release theirs. But the caliphs who followed the Prophet found that admonition inconvenient. In no time, Islamic jurisprudence produced detailed codes for seizing, keeping, and punishing non-Muslim slaves.

 

And so began the greatest slave-taking venture in history. Politically correct campus commissars would have us believe that the only men ever enslaved were black and the only slavers were white. Not quite. The first slave-labor plantations on an industrial scale were in not the Mississippi Delta but the Mesopotamian Delta, around Basra during the Arab “Golden Age.”

Nice headline, Reuters. Blame victim for being controversial. Extra points for "shootout," which implies two sides.
One dead after shootout at Danish meeting with controversial artist Vilks

 

Reuters) - One civilian was killed and three police were wounded on Saturday in shooting at a public meeting in the Danish capital Copenhagen attended by the controversial Swedish artist Lars Vilks, police and the Danish Ritzau news agency reported.

 

Danish police confirmed one civilian had been killed in a shooting and said the suspects had fled in a car.

 

Ritzau said both Vilks and the French ambassador, who was also attending, were both unharmed, but that three police had been wounded. The gathering was billed as a debate on art and blasphemy.

 

Just over a month ago, 17 people were killed in France in three days of violence that began when two Islamist gunmen burst into the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, opening fire in revenge for its publication of satirical images of the Prophet Mohammad.

We've reached the stage where ambassadors have to tweet that they have not been killed by gunmen.

Let's not overlook The History® Channel's role in all this. After all if a Youtube video can spark rioting in Libya that lead to the assassination of a US Diplomat, The History® Channel's Scandinavian propaganda series Vikings surely bears some of the blame for yesterday's incident of workplace violence.

But what about the fact that the earth's temperature has risen some god-awfully infinitesimal percentage of a degree? POTUS simply doesn't have the time to consider dead Christians given the enormity of global climate change. He'll debut the installation of a new smoke stack scrubber on a coal-fired power plant in Resume Speed, KY in the next few weeks.

 

Sail On, Oh Ship of State.

Terrorism? What terrorism? The Republicans are more concerned with hunting down and throwing the Illegals out. They would even shut down homeland security over it.

There is no need to insult the religion, but there is a need to identify the motivations behind what these people are doing. These are two different things. You know when it'll be too late to identify the enemy?

Pope Francis: The blood of Christians slaughtered in Libya “a testimony that cries out” to the world

 

Call this a contrast of leadership. In a meeting today with a delegation from the Church of Scotland, who traveled to the Vatican on an ecumenical visit, Pope Francis decried the slaughter of 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt by Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). Speaking in his native Spanish, the pontiff used the ecumenical audience of Presbyterians to declare that the Copts were martyred for their faith — the faith of all Christians. They died “only because they confessed Christ,” Pope Francis emphasized, and their “testimony cries out to be heard”:

 

{snip}

 

Now, the point that the 21 men were beheaded for their faith isn’t exactly a subtlety in the ISIS propaganda video. The video title calls it “A Message Signed with Blood to the Nation of the Cross.” After beheading the Coptic Christian hostages, the Islamist terror leader threatens to “conquer Rome”:

 

Get the point? Most did, but not so much the White House. In the statement released yesterday after the video emerged, the Obama administration declared its outrage over the murder of … “Egyptian citizens”:

 

The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of twenty-one
Egyptian citizens
in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the Egyptian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens. ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds. It is
unconstrained by faith, sect, or ethnicity
. This wanton killing of innocents is just the most recent of the many vicious acts perpetrated by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against the people of the region, including the murders of dozens of Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai, which only further galvanizes the international community to unite against ISIL.

 

 

“Egyptian citizens”? That odd phrasing shows just how hard the White House tried to avoid identifying them as Christians. Why not just “Egyptians”? It’s true that ISIS will kill pretty much anyone in the most horrible ways imaginable. It’s also true that this particular escalation had a distinct choice of faith and sect.

 

The White House couldn’t offer even a single instance of recognition about the victims slaughtered, even though they bravely met their fate without retreating from their faith. This may or may not be worse than the strange dance that the White House has been doing ever since Paris to avoid noting that victims in the Kosher deli there were targeted for their Jewish faith (“randomly selected”), but it’s cut from the exact same cloth of denial.

According to the State Dept, 'we can't kill our way out of this war', so we need to grow their economies in order to provide them jobs.

Not to mention, the irony should not be lost on us that his answer is to do the one thing he is completely incapable of doing here in the US: provide jobs.

 

Maybe he can get a bunch of ISIS folks to drop out of the workforce to artificially lower their unemployment number, making them *think* they're getting jobs.

 

Yeah. That's it. Let's go with that.

Why can't liberals make the easy leap to set up a foreign bureau of engraving over in the Mid-East to print a bunch of money and get the economy rolling over there? It's worked so well here and the Obama Administration has learned that many there are simply suffering just like our middle class.
