On Fox News’ top-rated Kelly File, Martha MacCallum asked two experts about the market slaughter and both of them instantly pivoted to military strikes against Isis, the need to form an Arab version of Nato, and other grand schemes. I’m all in favor of destroying Isis, but Isis is a mere symptom, not a cause. After Isis is destroyed, it’ll be something else. In many parts of the world, it’s already something else: al-Qa’eda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Abu Sayyaf, al-Shabaab, al-Nusra, al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, al-this, al-that, al-the other…
Neither of Martha’s guests so much as raised the question of why people who want to murder you for attending a Christmas market are in your country in the first place.
In the Aftermath of the Berlin Terrorist Attack
“Mentally Ill”
Why does that phrase always appear in the same types of reports and never has any corroborating information in those reports?
A 29-year-old mentally ill man is in jail on charges that he killed two of his sisters in a south-end housing co-op Friday night.
Musab A-Noor is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the deaths of Asma A-Noor, 29, and Nasiba A-Noor, 32.
“It’s not like Paris here. “
A documentary produced by French news channel France 2 has caused a major controversy in the land of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. The reason? The news channel sent a couple of female undercover journalists to neighborhoods and cities in France with large Muslim populations to see with their own eyes how women were treated in them. The results were downright shocking.
There Goes The Narrative!
Yasmin Seweid, 18, has been charged by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for filing a fraudulent police report after she claimed Trump supporters called her a terrorist and attempted to pull her hijab off her head, the New York Daily News reported.
A source with the New York Daily News said Seweid stood by her story until NYPD continued to press her on the matter after finding no evidence that the attack occurred. Seweid admitted that she had fabricated the story, claiming she had family problems.
Good luck with this getting as much coverage as the original hoax story did.

Meet Berlin’s new Senatskanzlei;
“In August she complained that in political discourse, German national law and Sharia law are always presented as contradictory to each other, and said ‘Everyone talks about Shariah, but hardly anyone knows what Sharia means.’ Remarking that Sharia exists ‘largely to govern the relationship between God and man,’ Chebli said Sharia law was ‘absolutely compatible’ with Germany.”

A German intelligence officer has reportedly been arrested over a suspected Islamist plot to bomb the agency’s headquarters in Cologne.
The 51-year-old official was said to have made a “partial confession” to the plot, according to Der Spiegel.
The suspect attempted to pass on “sensitive information about the BfV (Germany’s domestic security agency), which could lead to a threat to the office”, an official told the newspaper.
ALLAHU ATTACK CAR!
Law enforcement officials told NBC News the suspect’s name is Abdul Artan, an 18-year-old student at the university. He was a Somali refugee who left his homeland with his family in 2007, lived in Pakistan and then came to the United States in 2014 as a legal permanent resident of the United States, officials said.
The motive was unknown, but officials said the attack was clearly deliberate and may have been planned in advance.

“…before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.” – Leon Uris (The Haj)

Those Moderate Muslims!
JAKARTA, Indonesia–The biggest street protest in years shook this sprawling capital on Friday in a stark display of the more conservative, militant strain of Islam taking hold in the world’s largest Muslim country.
Police said an estimated 100,000 people turned out for a rally called by hard-line Muslim groups against the capital’s Christian governor, whom they accuse of having committed blasphemy.

I believe in Austria the minimum age of consent is 14, so, by definition, a ten-year old cannot “consent” to a “sexual act”, if violent anal rape can be dignified as such.
Or at least that’s the way we used to understand it in the civilized world. Of course, in much of the rest of the planet – and especially in the Muslim world – children are obliged to “consent” to all kinds of things. Once upon a time, when the unfortunate denizens of such societies came to the west, we were culturally confident enough to require them to assimilate with us.
Instead, in an age of civilizational self-loathing, we assimilate with them. So the same sexual license young Muslim men enjoy in, say, Kandahar now extends to Linz and Salzburg .
