Category: More Pavilions At Folkfest

The Junk And The Goons

Thousands of Chinese Americans protested outside CNN’s offices in Hollywood this morning, calling for the dismissal of commentator Jack Cafferty, whose recent remarks about Chinese goods and the Beijing government inflamed a community already angry about international condemnations directed at the host country of the upcoming Olympics.
The protesters lined Sunset Boulevard from Cahuenga Boulevard to Wilcox Avenue chanting “Fire Cafferty” and singing patriotic Chinese songs.
“We understand free speech,” said Lake Wang, 39, of Thousand Oaks. “But what if Cafferty said this about other racial groups? I think he would be fired. I think he’s jealous of China.”

Related: Bob Rae goes on the offence … “Exactly, everybody knows that Chinese leaders were much better then the Nazis.”

Tony Blair’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and “Two-thirds of British residents fear violence as migrant tensions rise”;

A quarter of those questioned agreed that, because of immigration, “my area doesn’t feel like Britain”.
This was up from 12 per cent in 2005. Some 58 per cent said parts of Britain feel like a foreign country.
During the past three years, between 800,000 and one million Eastern Europeans have arrived in the UK to work.

She’s “taken care of lots of Italians”

When the concept of “multiculturalism” was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant more pavilions at Folkfest;

Ms. Kermani — who as recently as two months ago tried to reinstate her business with Loblaws — told police that her threat to shoot another executive wasn’t a real threat. Rather, it was an old Iranian expression about shooting a snake to stop it from biting you, she said.

From the comments…

Does that mean Loblaws WON’T be rolling out their new “Imam’s Choice, Die Infidel DIE Goat Swarma.” Or the new “Roasted Stomach In Hell Sauce”?

Tony Blair’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and this little piggie went dhimmi…

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Tory-controlled) has now announced that, following a complaint by a Muslim employee, all work pictures and knick-knacks of novelty pigs and “pig-related items” will be banned. Among the verboten items is one employee’s box of tissues, because it features a representation of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. And, as we know, Muslims regard pigs as “unclean”, even an anthropomorphised cartoon pig wearing a scarf and a bright, colourful singlet.

When the Queen knights a Muslim “community leader” whose line on the Rushdie fatwa was that “death is perhaps too easy”, and when the Prime Minister has a Muslim “adviser” who is a Holocaust-denier and thinks the Iraq war was cooked up by a conspiracy of Freemasons and Jews, and when the Prime Minister’s wife leads the legal battle for a Talibanesque dress code in British schools, you don’t need a pig to know which side’s bringing home the bacon.

(Note – a commentor has brought the date of this piece to my attention. I’d missed that it was written in ’05.)

“Free to choose your belonging”

When the concept of “multiculturalism” was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant more pavilions at Folkfest;

The underside of multiculturalism is its ideological root in West-bashing. Sometime around 1960, it was determined by a few French intellectuals (whose unintelligible gibberish other intellectuals pretended to understand) that the greatest criminals against humanity in the history of the world weren’t the Nazi and Communist murderers of 100 million people. Rather, it was European colonialists, who imposed their cultural values on their captive audience.
Even though Canada was a colony itself, and had never indulged in imperialism of any kind, Canadians were informed they must share in the blame because of their religious, racial and cultural association with former colonialists.

I’ve asked this before – if all cultures are equally valuable, then who are these so-called “refugees” they keep sending us?

Jews Get All The Best Hate Mail

P.S.: Good lord — look at what a commenter dug up. Young Abdullah isn’t just importing sharia law to Moncton — he’s importing stilettos and other assorted weapons, too, as fast as he can. This is a picture of one that he bought just two weeks ago on eBay. Here are the details. Oh, and here’s what the Criminal Code has to say about stilettos that can be opened with the click of a button — they’re illegal (scroll down to the definition of the phrase “prohibited weapon”). But I’m sure Abdullah would tell the police — if their diversity squad permitted them to raise this touchy subject — that he follows a higher authority than Canadian laws.
P.P.S. Please don’t pester Simon Wiesenthal about any of this — he’s too busy fretting over some ugly flags in Calgary.

“In many high schools”

…English teachers have been developing literature curricula to meet the needs of their culturally diverse students. However, because in most cases these educators have not had at their disposal the interpretative techniques of postcolonial literary theorists, they have been relying, instead, for their reading strategies upon traditional literary theories. Unfortunately, when teachers employ New Critical, archetypal, feminist, or reader-response methods of literary analysis in their reading of multicultural literature, they are often unaware of the Eurocentric biases contained within these perspectives. This lack of understanding of their theoretical frame of reference can then lead teachers to encourage their students to accept uncritically problematic representations of various cultural groups as they encounter these representations in their literary texts. Postcolonial literary theory, on the other hand, encourages students to problematize Eurocentric representations of imperialism’s Others.

In A Completely Unforeseen Development

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and the Infidel Prince of Londonistan arrives home;

Muslim fanatics labelled Prince Harry a target for assassins last night after his heroics against the Taliban.
Harry’s perilous Army mission in Afghanistan was dismissed by British extremists as a mere publicity stunt.
But they also claimed that by participating in an “illegal war”, the brave young Prince had made himself fair game for a terrorist attack.

Hyphen Nation

David Thompson;

‘[O]ne might wonder how it is much of the left came to embrace dogmatic loathing and a pretentious disdain of territory. As when Joseph Harker, the Guardian’s deputy comment editor, repeatedly claimed “all white people are racist,” before identifying any fluttering of national identity as, almost by default, a sign of xenophobia. When such views appear in the mainstream organ of the British left, voiced by a member of its own editorial staff, this isn’t exactly a cause for optimism. Nor is it encouraging to discover that even the most positive expressions of shared national identity can meet with official censure and threats of punishment.

Today A Bomb Exploded In Copenhagen

Jakob Illeborg;

The suntan shop was situated just by the national football stadium in Oesterbro, a peaceful and affluent part of the Danish capital. The explosion completely destroyed the shop and the surrounding flats were also damaged. The police are putting the fact that no one was hurt down to sheer luck; two other bags were found in the area and have been destroyed. Two young men between the ages of 15 and 25 were seen running away from the crime scene; they were described as “foreign-looking” and are now wanted by the police.
[…]
Denmark, once acknowledged for her liberal stance and social egalitarianism, has over the last years become an increasingly polarised society where the differences between the Danish majority and migrants and especially Muslim migrants have been the dominant political agenda.
This was certainly the case back in 2005 when Jyllands Posten chose to print the 12 prophet cartoons. The following months the Danes had the dubious honour of being on the cover of magazines around the world and TV crews from CNN, BBC, and CBS visited Denmark to tell the story about the people behind the cartoons.
Back then, the debate about whether the cartoons were right or wrong split the nation in two. On one side were the idealists who defended the them on the grounds of speech. For them this was about making an important stance against what – in Denmark – is still perceived as “the threat” from Islam. Needless to say, the xenophobes joined this side of the argument. On the other side were the pragmatists – the internationalists, if you will. These included most liberals, including most broadsheet papers. The domestic debate was far from pretty, and the rightwing Danish People’s Party benefited enormously from the tense atmosphere. Two years later, many liberals and the liberal press seem to have joined the idealistic and confrontationalist boat.
In certain neighbourhoods the atmosphere is now so tense that I avoid going there when in Copenhagen. Far from the prophet cartoon crisis clearing the air like most good arguments, this argument only led to division. There are countless examples of qualified foreigners who can’t get a job in Denmark simply because of the sound of their surname. On the other hand, many young Muslim migrants have behaved like thugs, vandalising their neighbourhoods. The situation is clearly untenable; the question is: who’s got the remedy to solve it?

Who, indeed?

If You Build It, They Will Come

When the concept of “multiculturalism” was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant “more pavilions at Folkfest”.

Hundreds of GTA Muslim men in polygamous marriages — some with a harem of wives — are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say.
Mumtaz Ali, president of the Canadian Society of Muslims, said wives in polygamous marriages are recognized as spouses under the Ontario Family Law Act, providing they were legally married under Muslim laws abroad.
“Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims,” Ali said yesterday. “Ontario recognizes religious marriages for Muslims and others.”
He estimates “several hundred” GTA husbands in polygamous marriages are receiving benefits. Under Islamic law, a Muslim man is permitted to have up to four spouses.

Tony Blair’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and all without firing a shot;

The Archbishop of Canterbury has today said that the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is “unavoidable” and that it would help maintain social cohesion.
Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4’s World At One that the UK has to “face up to the fact” that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

Update – the backlash begins. Thank heavens. (link fixed)
