In 100 years either the islamists will have assimilated and behave like civilised people or there will be Sharia law everywhere and the west will be as uncivilised as Muslim countries with cutting off hands etc. This has been forced upon us by our governments - like it or not. America is getting the blame if you read the blogs in Europe. Germans, for example, are saying they want America to take the Muslims rather than them. Many are pointing out that they have millions of unemployed and in England they have their own people in poverty living in far worse conditions than any of the illegal immigrants because it is being seen as immigration - young men who have left their wives and children behind. How can Germany assimilate the large numbers that Merkle has so foolishly thrust upon her country? The Middle Eastern countries take not one refugee but have offered to build 400 mosques in Germany.<br /><br />If you were living with a wave of Muslims - if Obama decides tomorrow to bring in 1 million Muslims then many Americans - like you - might change their minds. If you were living in Luton and other places of England where you can't walk freely down the street then you might change your mind. If you have daughters and grandaughters who were under threat then you might change your mind. If you had schools that have been taken over by militant muslims where everyone has to answer the call to prayer, etc, you might change your mind. As people are saying, it is all very well for Americdans to pontificate when they largely don't have the problem in their backyard as Obama has only offered to take 6,000. How many do you think America should take in? Personally, I agree with what some are saying that only women children and the elderly should be taken in - the rest should go back and fight for their country.<br /><br />Many have noted that the attempts to break the rule of law in Hungary and the way these marchers have marched through many countries where, if they were true refugees, they would be safe points to the fact that they are only migrants in search of a better life. Who can blame them for that but they have to respect the rule of law and be prepared to be documented etc. Merkle of course hasn't helped by just announcing an open door policy. What did she expect when now over 1,200 a day are arriving in Germany. She closed the dooors - foolish woman.<br /><br />I am quite happy to take Christian refugees but I think that Hungary has done the right thing as they fear the break down of their culture and Christian identity. Imagine a reverse migration - everyone tramped from Europe to Middle Eastern countries. Would that be tolerated? No. There would be mass bloodshed. There will be civil unrest now in Germany for years to come.<br /><br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-21545524351480575372015-09-17T15:01:16.035-04:002015-09-17T15:01:16.035-04:00PP.S Dinesh is a darling of the conservative Right...PP.S Dinesh is a darling of the conservative Right in the United States by the way.Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-13617121863910107802015-09-17T14:59:23.686-04:002015-09-17T14:59:23.686-04:00P.S.

While I do not agree with everything he says, here is a book by Dinesh D’Souza, a good Catholic (I believe) despite his shortcomings (we all have them after all) that I have used in my own teaching in the past and that should help stimulate our collective soul-searching in the West. In particular he does a good job, I think, of helping us understand how the West is viewed by the rest of the world, especially the Islamic world, and why. I especially like that he criticizes both those on the Left and those on the Right, which seems just about right to me:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/The-Enemy-At-Home-Responsibility/dp/0767915615<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60434940740545110852015-09-17T14:31:31.298-04:002015-09-17T14:31:31.298-04:00Anon.

Jan:<br /><br />We will have to agree to disagree about that video.<br /><br />I did watch some of the other, one hour video on Islam in Europe and America that Anonymous linked and on which the young lady in Luton also appears. There is nothing in what I saw that surprises me (it has the usual suspects such as Imam Anjem Choudary, for example). Nor would it surprise me to learn that some jihadist fighters had also infiltrated the refugees. No-one should deny the dangers posed by radical, jihadist Islam. But to generalize from what is surely a small minority of Muslims in European countries to all Muslims in those countries is an unwarranted leap. The makers of many of these videos seem to hate any Muslims being in these countries. They also create the impression that all young male Muslims among the refugees are radical jihadists or part of a hijra, which is absurd. Most of them are trying to escape from the radicals (you know like the Jews who tried to escape Hitler or refugees the world over who try to escape religious and political persecution). By the way, these refugees are not seeking resettlement from a third country but are seeking asylum, which also requires refugee status, as they enter these European countries.<br /><br />What is occurring is “a great battle for the soul of Islam” and it is primarily Muslims who have to wage it. We in the West have to avoid doing stupid things that enable the radicals to win more converts to their point of view. This is indeed yet another reason many people (myself included) are so angry at the Bush administration for its reckless adventurism in Iraq. This foolish invasion played right into the hands of the radicals. It was exactly what they wanted. How dumb can you get!! But what can one expect with a president who did not know the difference between Sunni and Shia at the time of the invasion! <br /><br />So, to be really smart about it, we also need to try to understand what is behind the radicals’ vision. What has led them to have the views they do? Why do they see the world that way? Why does radical Islam appeal to them? And we might just discover that this requires some soul searching of our own and that it offers way forward to a better understanding and perhaps even some prospects of a more peaceful outcome that does not require setting the world on fire. Of course, it may be too late, even assuming we are capable of such self-awareness. But if anyone is capable of it, Catholics should be capable of it, or so I would like to believe.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-9797820478412108872015-09-17T08:01:23.988-04:002015-09-17T08:01:23.988-04:00Anon Anonymous 2, I happen to believe that video t...Anon Anonymous 2, I happen to believe that video that you dismiss because you can hear the glass bottles coming down, you can also see the cars blocking them in, and you have to ask yourself why that group came along at all. That is hardly normal and why was it predominantly Asians and not other races? Also, what the women said about child grooming is consistent with many reports emanating from Britain.<br /><br />In Sweden there has been a huge increase in rapes by Muslims - anyone not wearing a Burkha is regarded as fair game. There is also a young woman from Luton who said she had come back to see if all the stories she had learnt about Luton were true. She walks alongside a Muslim march - she is dressed in a long orange dress but is still accused of trying to seduce men by one of the burkha covered women. She said she couldn't believe it was so bad there. That is also on the one hour video which shows many, many incidents and this is the reason why people in Britain are turning against Islam and want to stop immigration in Britain.<br /><br />The 75% demographic of men cannot be so easily explained away as you try to do. It is very concerning to me and others and it is being reported that ISIS has inflitrated among the "refugees". As it the Mail Online reports:<br /><br />"Two in every 100 Syrian migrants smuggled into Europe are Islamic State-trained fanatics, David Cameron was warned yesterday. <br /><br />Lebanese education minister Elias Bousaab, who met the Prime Minister during his lightning visit to the region, said the extremist group is sending trained jihadists ‘under cover’ to attack targets in the West. <br /><br />If true, it could mean up to 400 of the 20,000 refugees Britain has promised to accept by 2020 have been radicalised."<br /><br />Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3234458/Two-100-Syrian-migrants-ISIS-fighters-PM-warned-Lebanese-minister-tells-Cameron-extremist-group-sending-jihadists-cover-attack-West.html#ixzz3lzpoQrUo<br /><br />The arrogance of many of the Islamic men portrayed on these videos that you so lightly dismiss is consistent with the arrogance displayed by ISIS and you can be sure there is now going to be an upsurge in terrorist attacks by the UN's open door policy. As is reported none of the Middle Eastern countries are taking any of these people.<br /><br />Jan<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-43904460681238186512015-09-16T22:12:55.959-04:002015-09-16T22:12:55.959-04:00Anon.

Now this is getting closer to the type of material you should be sharing. I continue to maintain that the claims of an attack by a mob of Muslim youths made by the interviewer of the two British women are bogus (there is absolutely no credible evidence to support these claims). I did say that I could not tell if the two women were telling a genuine story or if they were hired to say these things. The Daily Mail article suggests that at least some Muslim men have engaged in “grooming” or child sexual exploitation (even if many of the girls give their “consent”). Here is the report of a parliamentary inquiry on the subject of grooming by various ethnic groups:<br /><br />http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmhaff/68/6802.htm<br /><br />Now, this is the sort of material we should be considering, not misleading and mendacious videos made by the over-zealous for whatever reason (I still don’t know why they make this garbage). As I said before, you should not rely on such bogus material but on sources that are credible and properly balanced such as the parliamentary report above. All it does is hurt your case. We need to engage in an honest pursuit of the truth not a dishonest one.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-5533065519737437932015-09-16T14:29:35.673-04:002015-09-16T14:29:35.673-04:00Anonymous and Anon.

The duty of due diligence is on you, not on me, to verify the veracity and credibility of what you post. I have done enough to demonstrate the problem. And here is my statement of the problem again: “And the shame of it is, this drivel gets in the way of a serious discussion of the very real problems that do exist due to the tensions produced by Muslim immigration and unassimilated and alienated Muslim youth in Britain and European countries.” Given that there are indeed very real problems, why on earth are these people fabricating videos (which they clearly are, as I have demonstrated) and propagating them all over the internet for gullible people to lap up? This is what I don’t understand. Please explain it to me (you know, like I was a four year old).<br /><br />Also, I explain away nothing. I just show you that there are tricksters and fraudsters propagating nonsense which then gets posted on this Blog with the result that it is propagated even further. If people have really genuine material to share, why do they feel the need to make stuff up? To further their righteous cause is the most charitable explanation I can come up with. But, even if so, I’m sorry, the end does not justify the means (especially for Catholics).<br /><br />There are several possible explanations why most of the refugees are men, by the way. For example, who do you think armed forces attempt to draft for fighting or who do you think is especially targeted in an area of conflict – men, women, or children? And refugees do not need to be thin and starving.

There is too much evidence of the violent extremism being exhibited by Islamists in Britain, France and other European countries and your attempts to explain it all away amount to nothing more than a pathetic apology for a violent religion that aims to impose Sharia law in England and other countries.<br /><br />Nothing mocked up in the following video. Violent riots all over europe and Australia. This is just showing reality but people like you will not admit that you are supporting violent minority groups:<br /><br />Coming to a street near you.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ-QX8LuKHA<br /><br />And the UN reports the demographics of the "refugees" are:<br />15% children, 13% women and 75% men. Therein lies the story.<br /><br />http://data.unhcr.org/mediterranean/regional.php<br /><br /><br />As OnePeterFive reports:<br /><br />"Lest anyone allow themselves to be deceived, this is not a normal migration – it is a hijra.<br /><br />“Hijra” does mean “migration“ in Arabic. But it carries a deeper connotation. In Islamic history, the hijra was the event in 622 AD, when Muhammad and his small cult fled the city of Mecca to Yathrib, both of which are in what is today Saudi Arabia, and the latter which Muhammad renamed “Medina,” which means “the city.” This act marks three of the major events in Islam, which are:<br /><br /> The beginning of the Islamic calendar<br /> The creation of the first Islamic government<br /> The prolific use of violence and torture to propagate Islam"<br /><br />That's why we have 75% men who have come to fight, nothing less, but they will find that in every country they are a minority and our men will not roll over like they these evil cowards who maraud around in gangs killing the innocent.

Regarding the first video you linked (...Anon. Jan:<br /><br />Regarding the first video you linked (from summer 2014), the commentary on the video makes it very clear that this lady and her colleagues prepare hot meals for thousands of migrants each day and that these migrants are very appreciative of this help. Now, regarding the migrants “storming” the van, the video makes it clear that, as the lady says herself, they were starving, not having eaten anything for many days. I do not see any indication that they threatened her in any way; they were, however, desperately hungry. Regarding the incident in the camp (which she had never visited before), yes, it is true -- a handful of migrants did refuse the cans and one even poured the contents out. The ravioli was three months past the expiry date and the video says that they were afraid of being poisoned. Well, to be honest, I would not want to eat canned ravioli three months past the sell by date either for fear of being made sick. But I am probably too cautious just as this handful of migrants also appears to be. The lady is understandably upset because, in her view, the canned ravioli was good for another three years. I take her at her word, although I don’t know what the basis for saying this is. Would_you_eat canned meat three years past the date? Anyway, she is annoyed but says she understands and laments the “consumer society.” More importantly, almost all of the migrants at the camp did in fact gratefully take the three month past due ravioli. So, despite the dramatic ominous music added to the commentary for effect (who is narrating by the way?), what is the story here?<br /><br />Regarding the second video (from 2013), this is so obviously a complete set up. I thought I was watching Monty Python sketch. I don’t know what to make of the two ladies being interviewed. Perhaps they are genuine in what they say; perhaps they are paid by the interviewer, who knows? What is clearly not genuine is the claim that the interviewer and cameraman (whom you never see by the way) were threatened and then attacked by some mob. What? The interviewer says a hostile flash mob is forming and the situation is becoming extreme (cue ominous music again). What a load of malarkey, as Joe Biden would say, or a load of codswallop, as we in Britain would say. We never see a mob. What we do see is the interviewer talking with a small group of young men (about six of them) who are smiling and laughing as he interviews them. And yet he talks about dozens getting ready to beat him to a bloody pulp and he says this with no evidence whatsoever. Moreover, he says they have (pointed) sticks (or perhaps bananas – this is a Monty Python reference). Yes, one of the six the young men does say they would like sharia law if Britain were ever to become an Islamic country. This is a leading question by the interviewer. The young men did not volunteer this. In fact, they did not think that they could be governed by sharia law precisely because Britain is NOT an Islamic country. I think that one of the “comments” (by CorditeSpear) sums it up best:<br /><br />“[W]hat a load of c**p. no-one gets attacked in this video, the first woman that 'ran away' lol. was smiling, not afraid at all. then the interviewer is seen joking about with those guys, and most of the conversation is edited apart from their views on what they think would be the best laws, of course they are going to say sharia, because they are muslims, . . . lol. what a load of rubbish this video is. but the bigots will love it.”<br /><br />(continued)Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-67226634805436703932015-09-15T21:55:24.499-04:002015-09-15T21:55:24.499-04:00Aony 2, here is a video on the attacks that are go...Aony 2, here is a video on the attacks that are going on against the French by Muslims in France.

I'm sure you're bound to come up with something - WHO IS being duped here?? The answer is you, anon 2.<br /><br />I'm afraid these incidents are being reported all over - Patrick Madrid reports that there had been a riot that had broken out in an Italian town because the African refugees had to eat another Italian meal. Vehicles were vandalized and the police were called out. They were demanding food from their homeland.<br /><br />Anon 2 I would be interested too to see how you can explain this video away - this interview - a flash mob gather around an American journalist and throw glass bottles etc and intimidate him and his cameraman. He had been interviewing two women residents who say they cannot go out at night in this area because of the Muslims. They speak of the grooming that is going on by Muslim gangs of young women. Students being attacked and robbed. This is in Burnley England. You cannot leave school if you're white by yourself because they are attacked and thrown into the canal and the cops do nothing about it. As the interviewer says this is England and the British can't stand on their own streets - that he said is the real story. Many incidents like this are happening every day he said and the BBC and Sky etc are there and film it but they don't screen it.<br /><br />Explain that away Anon 2 if you can. I think it will be nigh on impossible for you to do so because there are now way too many videos on YouTube showing women being attacked in France, just walking down the sidewalk. Explain that away. This is coming to a city near you and God help them in Germany.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxefcCwgKNU<br /><br />Jan<br /><br />Jan<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-51410375008373776782015-09-15T07:24:46.196-04:002015-09-15T07:24:46.196-04:00Anon 2, Hitler was Catholic.Anon 2, Hitler was Catholic.Calvin of Hipponoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-91858499368106966782015-09-14T22:15:51.532-04:002015-09-14T22:15:51.532-04:00Anonymous:
Speaking of inconvenient facts, I very...Anonymous:<br /><br />Speaking of inconvenient facts, I very much hope you will, for consistency’s sake, extend your condemnation of the Administration’s alleged failure to help Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq to the Bush Administration. Here again is a repeat of some of my earlier posts on this topic:<br /><br />I will also share one inconvenient fact: Iraqi Christians were already being attacked and persecuted before Obama became President. According to the UNHCR, as of June 2007 2.2 million Iraqis had been displaced to other countries. The vast majority were Christians. Other sources suggest about 1.4 million Christians lived in Iraq before the invasion. So, do the math.<br /><br />If people now condemn Obama for allowing all this misery to be inflicted on the Iraqi Christians, are they also prepared to blame Bush equally (or perhaps even more since more appear to have been affected). After the invasion Islamic extremists (who were of course unleashed by the invasion) attacked, tortured, abducted, and killed (and yes, beheaded and mutilated) Iraqi Christians and forced Christian women to wear Islamic dress. I rather imagine that is why most of them fled to other countries. But where was the outrage then? Indeed, where is the outrage about that now? Hearing none I ask: Is the difference that Bush was not, well, how should I put it, Obama?<br /><br />When people stop playing politics with this mess and start facing facts and behaving like adults, we might, just might, be able to make some progress. When FOX News and the right wing blogosphere starts talking about the travesty perpetrated upon Christians under Bush – and the Bush Administration’s denial that there was a problem in response to a 2007 inquiry by a certain Senator from Illinois – it might help to restore my faith and hope in our corrupt politics. If they have indeed already done this, please tell me.<br /><br />And here is another interesting factoid: Tariq Aziz, Hussein’s foreign minister, was Roman Catholic. That in itself tells you that Iraqi Christians qua Christians were MUCH better off under Hussein than after “regime change” (which they were). Oooops!<br />Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-18188582058728542752015-09-14T22:14:07.578-04:002015-09-14T22:14:07.578-04:00Calvin of Hippogene:

Look at the Twin Cities of Minneapolis - St. Paul, over 30,000 Somali Muslims now call those cities home, and Liberals in Minnesota are now scratching thier heads wondering why so many are going back to Somalia and joining the Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab! Look at the videos of that city, Somalis all over in flowing robes, hijabs on women, this is what you want America to become??? They demand special rights wherever they go and get it, prayer rooms in airports, feet washing rooms in public places, refusing to pick up women or people with dogs at the airport, what has happend to America are we that weak and stupid to let these people dictate what they want? I for one have had enough of this and will continue to speak up against the Islamic invasion and Sharia Law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-69690535792006535972015-09-14T06:17:48.165-04:002015-09-14T06:17:48.165-04:00I guess Anon2's ideal best friend would be a h...I guess Anon2's ideal best friend would be a homosexual Muslim female communist radical.

I have watched the videos you linked. These ...Jan:<br /><br />I have watched the videos you linked. These video bites are like sound bites. There is absolutely no context to help us understand what events led up to these moments. The videos are terribly misleading. For example, the byline on the second video “Refugees Refusing Aid Because It Has a Red Cross On It” is a lie. It has been even debunked by the person who shot the video. Here is a detailed account explaining what is really happening and why, including verification from the Red Cross, and emphasizing that the Red Cross is distributing food and drink to thousands of people each day, all of which has been gratefully accepted. <br /><br />http://www.ilpost.it/2015/08/25/debunking-migrants-video-red-cross-macedonia/<br /><br />I do not yet have the full story about the first video but I believe it has something to do with the refugees feeling they were tricked into thinking they were going to a particular destination but then the train was stopped and moves were made to cart them all off to a special camp. I need to investigate this further, however. <br /><br />People who propagate these sorts of video lies on the internet should be ashamed of themselves. They dupe well-meaning and worried people (such as I assume you are). What these people do is evil and I implore you, please do not allow yourself to be manipulated by these mendacious elements or we may find that we have all been manipulated into Hell. Please make the effort to get the facts before you leap to judgment. This is the lawyer in me talking as well as (I hope) the Christian.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymous 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-76176161357467634722015-09-13T21:51:22.161-04:002015-09-13T21:51:22.161-04:00Anon Anonymous 2 is going to have to make a choice...Anon Anonymous 2 is going to have to make a choice at some stage between his homosexual friends and his Muslim friends because he will find he can't have both. The sight of these so-called refugees insulting police in Hungary and throwing water and food away that was offered them, shows these are not refugees. Hardly a woman or a child among them. They are as is being reported, fit young men and arrogant with it:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e6sIl5whsg<br /><br />More "refugees" refusing food from the Red Cross because it has a cross on it and giving the ISIS one finger salute. As some are already stating, this is an invasion of Europe by Islamists. Again mostly young men. Where are the women, children and old people that one normally sees among refugees. Also the arrogance displayed by these "refugees" is not what one normally associates with tired and hungry refugees.<br /><br />It is even reported by the UN now that 75% of these "refugees" are young men. Goodbye Europe ... Barak Hussein Obama has invited at least 10,000 in - so good luck with the New York Islamic parade next year. Anon 2 may find he has to choose between his friends sooner rather than later because there is no such thing as a homosexual Islamist.<br /><br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2KhIZ8y0Mg<br /><br />Jan<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
