  4. yeah, that vest will look great with a “Che” t-shirt and and ugly untrimmed beard.
    Coming soon to a campus near you….

  5. Eeew, Ali Akbar, I wonder what’s up for winter? It’ll get pretty miserable in the northern gulags when Mohammad’s cold vengeance stream dips down over the upper parallels of his pate and forehead. Mo’hl-dang scratch tickets.
    Ah! well, can’t really complain I guess – Aaron from material handling is getting his sawed-off tomorrow during noon prayer. Mo’hl-dang-it, the chances you take to win a couple of fishes and a loaf of bread.

  6. Canadian investments in Sri Lankan terrorism back in the 80’s when they developed these vests is obviously not paying off – they’re ugly! How is a bomber going to feel good about him/herself wearing such a thing? Our foreign aid dollars wasted again….

  7. 72 virgins for Ali Baba; what does Alieen Baba receive for her suicide? 72 lousy camels to curry/comb/feed every day for eternity. +
    Suicidalism
    The most important weapons of al-Qaeda and the rest of the Islamist terror network are the suicide bomber and the suicide thinker. The suicide bomber is typically a Muslim fanatic whose mission it is to spread terror; the suicide thinker is typically a Western academic or journalist or politician whose mission it is to destroy the West�s will to resist not just terrorism but any ideological challenge at all.
    But al-Qaeda didn�t create the ugly streak of nihilism and self-loathing that afflicts too many Western intellectuals. Nor, I believe, is it a natural development. It was brought to us by Department V of the KGB, which was charged during the Cold War with conducting memetic warfare that would destroy the will of the West�s intelligentsia to resist a Communist takeover. This they did with such magnificent effect that the infection outlasted the Soviet Union itself and remains a pervasive disease of contemporary Western intellectual life.
    Consider the following propositions:
    * There is no truth, only competing agendas.
    * All Western (and especially American) claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islam are vitiated by the West�s history of racism and colonialism.
    * There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.
    * The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.
    * Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.
    * The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. (Rich people can borrow some virtue by identifying with poor people and criminals.)
    * For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But �oppressed� people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.
    * When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist�s point of view, and make concessions.
    These ideas travel under many labels: postmodernism, nihilism, multiculturalism, Third-World-ism, pacifism, �political correctness� to name just a few. It is time to recognize them for what they are, and call them by their right name: suicidalism.
    Trace any of these back far enough (e.g. to the period between 1930 and 1950 when Department V was at its most effective) and you�ll find a Stalinist at the bottom. Among the more notorious examples ware: Paul de Man � racist and Nazi propagandist turned Stalinist, and fonder of postmodernism; Jean-Paul Sarte, who described the effects of Stalinism as �humane terror� and helped invent existentialism; and Paul Baran, who developed the thesis that capitalism depended on the immiseration of the Third World after Marx�s immiseration of the proletariat failed to materialize.
    Al-Qaeda didn�t launch any of these memes into the noosphere, but it relies on them for political cover. They have another effect as well: when Islamists characterize the West as �decadent�, and aver that it is waiting to collapse in on itself at the touch of jihad, they are describing quite correctly and accurately the effects of Western suicidalism.
    Stalinist agitprop created Western suicidalism by successfully building on the Christian idea that self-sacrifice (and even self-loathing) are the primary indicators of virtue. In this way of thinking, when we surrender our well-being to others we store up grace in Heaven that is far more important than the momentary discomfort of submitting to criminals, predatory governments, and terrorists. +

  11. maz2 — you know, sometimes you are hard to follow, but this time you hit it right on, at a level old moron here could get. Thank you.
    Steve in BC — Good shot/good point. You have managed to make me reflect in 30 words or less, and I am disturbed at the results. Good on ya, mate!

  12. I am hoping that Mr. Harper, unlike Blair and Bush, does not avoid families and ceremonies of war dead.
    Yawn.
    Try again, Steve. The MSM avoids the families and burials of the war dead, not Bush.
    Steve, your bs and lack of facts are wearing thin. As a self-designated confrontational troll, you rank as a D-. Annoying as pimples are to acne. Boring.
    Get a fact. Google is free. Get a life.

  14. Wait till they see the new burka made from gun cotton. If a Jihadi babe has to remiove it, it makes a handy fuse for a pack charge or a wick for a gasoline molotov ….gotta love that functional fashon.

  15. Maz2, well said! Your March 2, 10:47 comment was most eloquent and pithy. You’ve summed up the reasons why the Western Left has become a deadly infectious disease, doing it’s best to destroy Western Civilization.
    (And don’t you just love it when any one of these critters are called on something they’ve said or written and respond with outrage, “Don’t you dare question my patriotism!”
    Well, I will. There’s a good percentage of the Western Left who, if not traitors, are next door to it.)

  16. Voices of Iran?
    My suspicions were headed in this direction but I will admit this all seems so much clearer when it is spelled out this directly.

    Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr. One who directs groups of men in black, driving around delivering messages from Iran with a bang?
    They don’t wear any bulky vests. Nothing will interfere with that dapper cut of the well healed Iran and Syrian elegant in black.
    Dave and Maz, Notice the right panel in the link. The Left can and do learn. They become the truely committed. TG

  17. Yes, but the question now arises, will this new fashion statements, clash with those, who are now allowed by the SCC, to carry they’re kirpans into class’s.

  20. Yaaaa, but now the question is, will these fashion statements clash with the kirpans, that some are allowed to carry into our schools, now the SCOC has made it’s dumm ass ruling.

  21. Sorry about the double post kate. My first one was over a hour before it showed…I thought it was lost in cyber space.

  22. Kate:
    I expect Tilley Endurables to come up with a line of S-vests (suicide vests) any day now!
