The religion of war.

06/09/20140

I finished my workout in the gym and was chatting with a mate. We were talking about minorities and how there are two ways that they can get into difficulty: the first is by being different enough, long enough, and a little bit more successful (although this is not needed, consider Russia and the pogroms) that whenever times get hard the populists can blame those evil Jews/Chinese/Indians.

Or more recently, all of the above, because white privilege. Despite the fact that all three of these groups are not Caucasian. [Sephardic Jews and Semitic, and the Ashkenazim are more akin to the Turks or Iranians than anyone else].

But there is another group that is a danger, and it is nothing to do with race, but their ideology. No I’m not talking about leftists, although the leftists use them as cannon fodder. I’m talking about the religion of war: Islam.

And the radicals — that is serious — Muslims are taking over the mosques in New Zealand.

Authorities believed the pair, who reportedly met in Christchurch, had links to terror group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Havard’s parents told Australia’s ABC news last week that their son first encountered radical Islam in Christchurch.

The city’s Muslim leaders vehemently denied the allegations, with many saying they were disturbed by the claims and the effect they could have on how people viewed their community.

It is important for Muslim leadership to not just gloss over these issues, but actually root out anyone that is preaching fundamentalism, extremism, Islamification, violence, segregation, sharia or jihad.

The Deans Ave facility, known to Muslims as Masjid Annur (the mosque of light), was funded partly by a $460,000 gift from the Saudi kingdom and was looked after by the Muslim Association of Canterbury (MAC).

The mosque now has about 550 members from 40 countries, while another 450 people regularly attend the weekly sermons, MAC president Mohamed Jama said.

Jama joined the Christchurch mosque 15 years ago after fleeing civil war in Somalia and became president of MAC in 2008.

He believed Islam was about peace first and foremost, encouraging its followers to support their families and neighbours. “No fighting and no killing anybody – that’s not religion, not the Muslim way.”

And therein lies the problem. Fighting and killing people is the Muslim way.

A guy drew a cartoon of Mohammed once. We all know what happened after that. Violent uprisings, declarations of holy wars, and aggression.

If Islam is a religion of peace for New Zealand Muslims, it is up to them to ensure the people who are intent on changing that are exposed at the earliest opportunity.

Now, many Muslims say with great sincerity that their religion is a religion of peace, and the war they talk about is the war against evil within themselves. But that is not what is happening around the world. Instead the war is seen as a war against the infidel, and this has caused damage, from Yugoslavia to Singapore.

And there is payback: Alte links the election of a Hindu nationalist (who is no friend of Indian Christians) as a consequence of the continual war between Indian Muslims and Hindus.

I agree with you that Muslims are only the footsoldiers of TPTB. But footsoldiers are the ones that actually do the killing, so I strongly disagree that they are harmless and pitiful. They just act that way on TV (after trying to “ethnically cleanse” their newly-conquered territory of unbelievers and getting their ass kicked in retaliation), so that NATO has an excuse to send in the planes. Serbia, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, the Central African Republic, and now Syria and Nigeria.

The pattern is clear. They’re trying to take over the entire world, and we’re actively helping them do it. They are, in fact, actively compelled by their religion to always take over the government in whichever country they live in because their religion centers around the running of a government (sharia). It’s highly orthopraxic — like Judiasm (which it is partly derived from), but with lots of beheadings, sanctioned rape, and an insatiable thirst for territorial acquisition.

The only Muslim who can integrate into a non-sharia country (including secular dictatorships) is one who ignores the majority of their own religious teaching. Anyone who seriously studies the teachings and takes them to heart will be “radicalized” because Islam is radical. This is inevitable because it is a religion for warriors. Most Westerners cannot understand this because they don’t take their own religious teachings seriously and project their indifference onto everyone else.

Well, some Westerners do take their faith seriously. And herein lies an issue. You can look at the content of this site and accuse me of basically every single sin of this post modern age. I consider most of the current insults virtues: I despise homosexualists, Islamists, people who write speech codes, most lawyers and politicians, the current US government, and every French government since the Fourth Republic. And do not get me started on the EU.

But I would not line them up and shoot them, saying I’m doing the work of God. Most of these people would be killed by Boko Haram and similar organizations. I’d rather preach at them and argue with them and pray for them, for the souls of my enemies are as precious to the Almighty as my own, and death is a one-way trip to the first resurrection, when we will all be judged.

Unfortunately, the leaders within the church do not see this. They consider that there can be interfaith dialogue with Islam. They are wrong.

This new pope is a nightmare. For the first time in history, Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran will be heard at the Vatican on Sunday. I await the church service in Mecca — when non-Muslims are actually allowed to go to Mecca. I await the repeal of apostasy laws under Islam. I await the repeal of blasphemy laws under Islam. I await the apology for the slaughter of hundreds of millions of non-Muslims in jihad wars.Charles Martel, John Sobieski et al are puking in their graves.

Well. this pope is wrong. Islam is not a religion of peace, but of war. It is not truth, but lies: by the fruits you will know it and Islam spreads ignorance, slavery, death and oppression. Last time I looked it was not the Christians hanging gays and stoning women accused of adultery. Or kidnapping and enslaving girls. Or murdering classrooms of boys.

This may not be nice, but this is not a time to be nice.

Christ wasn’t a paradigm of Tolerance. He was Truth, not Tolerance. You simply can’t have both. This is why Christ warned us that it might be necessary to quarrel with our very parents, and with our very children! If this is what Christ commands to a son or a mother, how is the new value of “peace” and “harmony” justified when dealing with people who are, to all intents and purposes, perfect strangers?

I allow myself to be countercultural here, and to say that we in the Catholic blogosphere need to become more aggressive, more ready to quarrel, more ready to set aside not only blogger’s friendships, but real ones.

I am fed up with sensitive pansies. They are those who led us where we are now, repeating their stupid slogans as heathenism advances in the middle of a civilisation now too busy with burping to do some sane thinking.

I am always proud, proud when my stats page (they have the links of those linking to you) reports me the insults hurled at me from other blogs, or fora. You see who is insulting you, and you know it is, literally, reward for a job well done.

I intend to be insulted far more come October.

You choose peace if you want to, and you will, no doubt, have the reward of being talked about by the word as the sensitive, moderate, sensible guy.

I, for myself, will pick up the sword.

Mundabor was talking about a theological fight coming within the Catholic church. He might find that there is a bigger fight without than within. And he might find that the believers will be covering each other’s back, because the danger from the liberal wimps within the church and the fanatics without force us to band together.

The progressive theft of innocence.

06/09/20143

One of the reasons that there are warnings against being deceived is that the enemy waits until we get children into education and then tries to make good little socialist kiddies of them. And no, I am not just talking about the Soviet experience, but the tendency for schools to push the progressive agenda. The left do not breed, and they rely on converting people to their point of view, so that the next generation will be leftist. The demographics are stacked against them. This is an example from Spengler concerning Jews, but the same thing occurs in other religious groups.


Sadly, American Jews stand out as a horrible example of demographic failure. In the United States, secular and loosely affiliated American Jews, that is, the vast majority, have the lowest fertility rate of any identifiable segment of the American population.

As I wrote in my book How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam is Dying, Too):

”Nowhere is the fertility gap between religious and non-religious more extreme than among American Jews. As a group, American Jews show the lowest fertility of any ethnic group in the country. That is a matter of great anguish for Jewish community leaders. According to sociologist Steven Cohen, “We are now in the midst of a non-Orthodox Jewish population meltdown. … Among Jews in their 50s, for every 100 Orthodox adults, we have 192 Orthodox children. And for the non-Orthodox, for every 100 adults, we have merely 55 such children.”

Half of the non-Orthodox children, moreover, marry non-Jews, and very few children of mixed marriages will remain Jewish. As Reform Rabbi Lance J Sussman wrote in 2010, “With the exception of a number of Orthodox communities and a few other bright spots in or just off the mainstream of Jewish religious life, American Judaism is in precipitous decline … the Reform movement has probably contracted by a full third in the last ten years!”

In Israel, by contrast, the Jewish fertility rate stands at around 3 children per female, by far the highest in the industrial world. Aside from the ultra-Orthodox minority, which has seven or eight children, the non-Orthodox Jewish fertility rate is around 2.6 children per female.

Jewish Fertility by Religious Current
 Average Number of Children per Woman
 Ultra-Orthodox      6.72
 Modern Orthodox     3.39
 Conservative        1.74
 Reform              1.36
 Secular             1.29

Israel’s Jews identify with Jewish nationality more than American Jews, but they also observe the Jewish religion more than their American cousins.

We may raise children correctly. We may do our duty. We may pray, be faithful, and our wives not fall into the trap of leaving us, as they are told to be the secular elite. Even then, we can be involved in the raising of our children, subvert the education system, and train our children.

But the left hope that they can steal whatever habits of faith and godliness we have instilled into them and turn them to the side of progressivism. For the left have a religion, and it is green, progressive, and like all religions does not tolerate any competition.

Paul gives us some guidance in this passage. Firstly, he notes that the very reason that he was preaching in Galatia in the first place was because he was injured or ill. He took something that was not planned in his eyes and made the most of it. Secondly, he is pleading for the Galatians to remain true to the faith and not fall into the temptation placed before them by Pharisaic preachers: of relying on the law and the law alone, despite being damned by that very law.

Galatians 4:12-20

12Friends, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong. 13You know that it was because of a physical infirmity that I first announced the gospel to you; 14though my condition put you to the test, you did not scorn or despise me, but welcomed me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. 15What has become of the good will you felt? For I testify that, had it been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you may make much of them. 18It is good to be made much of for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you. 19My little children, for whom I am again in the pain of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, 20I wish I were present with you now and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

Now, the left want to steal our faith away and make us like them. There are many ways that this happens, many vectors.

  • They tell us that we should have a high self esteem. That we should be proud. Scripture says that pride is a sin: the Catholics quite correctly named it as a deadly sin.
  • They tell us we should worship nature — either to prevent (non-existent) global warming or some other form of eco-apoclyapse or that we should embrace paganism because patriarchy is evil.
  • They tell us we should be sex-positive. We should not judge, we should explore our sexuality. They want to teach sex education to younger and younger children, with a level of explicitness that approaches pornography, One would predict that this would lead to premature sexualization and increased rates of early sexual activity with the associated rates of teenage pregnancy and Sexually transmitted infections. In the 1970s, the data indicated that this was the case, but abstinence-only sex education (as delivered in the USA) increases the rate if teen pregnancy . This does not surprise me. One of my mentors found a similar result when teaching why doctors should never have sex with any patients they had treated: any education may increase the rate of the behaviour.

It is also worthwhile noting that taking your SATs is associated with abortions: young women have got the message that having babies is incompatible with higher education, to the detriment of their souls. I will leave the marked correlation — as big as the abstinence education one — between the percentage of Black teens in the population & teen pregnancy to the HBD folks.

Progressive and post modern education is not about drawing out the best from young people but leaving them stupid, fearful, and enslaved. The tactics of progressives is to control the school dialogue and disempower parents, particularly fathers. Because they do not want to deal with logic, evidence and other data: data is sexist. They want men tamed and effete.

But they will not date such men, nor do such men provide or maintain those things needed to keep a city running. The progressives will die out unless they double down and force their lies to the next generation. We need to be like Paul. We have to tell the truth, particularly when it is offensive and hurtful. It is better to have a little pain early in live and correct bad habits than to be damned at the end this existence, looking at a life spent on ephemera.
