The Christian Church doesn't even need ISIS to shoot itself on the foot. Fresh from this morning (and from the same website so I don't have to translate):

And just yesterday, catholic faith got once again crushed by the impostor pope as we launched the #PasMonPape hashtag:

Like we say in French: "with friends like this, you don't need enemies"....

school headmaster in a small town != Germany
Can we leave the hyperbole mania out of here ?
Bullshit propaganda websites like this are the main reason why it is impossible to have an actual debate about the topic. Instead it is just a giant turmoil of misinformation, hate, anger and fear.

fun fact: the discussion about the appropriate dress code at school is a topic that comes up every other year in summer, regardless of any (Muslim) refugees. In times when there is little else political drama to report, it provides ample opportunities for hot (and fruitless) debates around all our favorite topics like sexism, feminism, individualism and "why doesn't Germany have school uniforms?". Decorated with closeup shots of hotpants on the newspaper frontpages.

Let me assure you that this is not the looming end of the European civilization nor the starting point of massive Islamic radicalization :p


Why do you think that cracking down on hate speech against migrants is a source of radicalization?
Seems more logical to conclude that hate speech, islamophobia and social rejection can lead to radicalization, no?

Nothing is coincidence. Everything goes "according to plan"... What plan? "Kalergi" plan. What the hell is "Kalergi plan"? I won't say; get your info and choose your destiny.

Well, it's not the Christian Church that's shooting itself in the foot; it's the government higher-ups who think that the enemy is the right-wing and who welcome ISIS, the creation of Eurabia and the loss of our culture with arms wide open.

I've always hated this progressive pope. He is a disgrace to the institution. He destroyed the Christian Church from the inside pretty much as soon as he was elected (Wikipedia: "Shortly after his election, in a meeting with ambassadors from the 180 countries accredited with the Holy See, Pope Francis called for more interreligious dialogue—'particularly with Islam'.").

half ass madman kill 1 women and injure other with knife in london (^_^)

gamescom is a joke security and safety-wise, even beyond the current situation. It is notorious for overfilling the halls and creating scenarios that would almost certainly result in casualties in the event of an emergency. In fact, accidents due to overcrowding are extremely common there. I've been there both on behalf of exhibitors and in a private capacity and neither experience is one I'd care to repeat again.

Maybe in this era of madness, we get lucky and avoid the "burning", after all...

If people don't want to start burning, there are perfectly fine, logical, sane, legal and above all, moral solutions to all those shitstorms thrown at us from Brussels. One cannot win against 27, even if the law enforcers have all been "bought". Let's hope more people start waking up. I wouldn't like waking up into place "Other", instead of my own country; do you?

New case in London!

Killer is of Somalian origin.

No new "confirmed" case ATM instead. Following the news since this morning, even my far-right political twitter feed account didn't jump up on the news (except the common jokes on the usual "a madman" statements) until now. Even forums are quiet. So nothing to add to OP ATM.

To not waste a post, here's a new lengthy article by the NY Times:


How a Secretive Branch of ISIS Built a Global Network of Killers
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/world/middleeast/isis-german-recruit-interview.html
"A jailhouse interview with a German man who joined the Islamic State reveals the workings of a unit whose lieutenants are empowered to plan attacks around the world."

They'd be in Portuguese, I'm afraid. And you keep grossly overlooking the point. It's not about whether or not bad things happen in countries and bad men don't get punished or get ridiculous sentences, but whether or not any country can "turn" and regress into the Middle Ages on all levels, as those in the Middle East did because they were invaded or had governments overthrown. Yes, there was also one or two Portuguese nationals in ISIS. Can you really not tell the difference between one thing and the other? If it there were any "nazistic" hellholes to speak of, you might have a point. As it is, you're just tilting at windmills in an attempt at drawing moral equivalences. "Police, my brother is attending a mosque where radical salafists preach at and he's quoting them at home with conviction."
"Police, my cousin, who isn't a farmer, has been stashing big packets in our garage, and they smell of fertilizer."
"Police, my nephew, who got along just fine with Christian friends at school, now has mates who go on sharia patrols and says they're going to take over the city."
That wasn't so hard, now was it? I have no idea what you're trying to say. Worse than making excuses, you're now being an apologist. It's one thing to understand why people do what they do; it's an entirely different one to justify it. Exactly. And yet, strangely, you don't see the Patriarchate of Russia calling for a holy war against the Ukraine. Neither did the Crimean Goths rise up again to reinstate the Eparchy of Gothia and wage war against the Orthodox Church. The Crimean Khanate also didn't rise up again, oddly, nor did Crimea regress back to Zakon Russkiy. Indeed. And you know what's even simpler? Not to be wilfully blind. Because your analogy is inadequate; a more accurate one would be, for example, everybody being surprised by Robin Williams' suicide at a time in which 60 year-old comedians in Hollywood were killing themselves in droves. It would have been blind and irresponsible not to have read the signs and taken extra precautions. I still don't understand what you're getting at, or how it relates to the point we were discussing. What does that have to do with Muslims policing their own...? Nor do they need to. Russians burn or demolish houses of terrorist families in Chechnya and Dagestan, or round up their families. That's why they call it "officially unacknowledged".

So is the branding of opposing viewpoints. As is wilful blindness (see? Two can play that game). Let's see:
- Fires in Portugal is a topic that comes up every other year in summer, regardless of the very dry winter we've had.
- The rise of the far-right in Benelux is something that comes up every election season, regardless of the current context that is favourable for their swelling numbers in the polls.
- The talk of countries seceding from the EU is something that comes up every other year whenever European policies aren't consensual, regardless of Brexit.
Do you see where I'm going with this? The first step in tackling an issue is to acknowledge it, not to play the part of the crowd in "The Emperor's New Clothes". It's all fun and games, until reality comes knocking at your doorstep. Let's hope that, when it does, it's not too late for you and yours. Because the idea is to prevent it from getting to that stage, not to only start acting when the barbarians have already breached the gates en masse. It's a source of radicalization when you broaden the definition of "hate speech" to include "disagreeing with governmental policy on migrants" and "opposing uncontrolled, open door immigration", for example. What seems more logical to conclude is that wilful refusal to integrate, brazen display of invading behavior and treasonous elected officials will lead to a nation's ruin. Especially when they're abetted by a neutered, browbeaten and indoctrinated populace, that is only allowed to cheer for its country when it plays football, and fears nothing more than the dreaded r-word.

There was so much filth in these videos. Bah!

Fortunately, the comments section helped me recover my smile; we are a lot more than they dare think.
