Getting It Right

Still more to learn from the Danes:

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities as part of a plan to tackle what it calls ‘parallel societies’.

The garment worn by some Muslim women is already banned in public places in the Scandinavian country, but the move would now expand the order into classrooms across Denmark. 

In Denmark, the term ‘parallel societies’ refers to residential areas where more than half of inhabitants are from an immigrant background. 

The ban on full-face coverings was introduced in Denmark in 2018, with those found to break the rule forced to pay a £1,300 fine. 

And the best part:

Denmark has some of the toughest migration laws in Europe, which were introduced after its Left-leaning government, which came into power in 2019, promised to curb migration to ‘protect Danishness’.

The underlying sentiment:  fit in or fuck off — or to be more precise, fit in or we’ll make you fuck off.

Gotta say, I’m not disagreeing with the Danes here.

I know, I know:  we wouldn’t do this to Orthodox Jews or the Amish, who create their own “parallel societies”.

The difference is that, unlike the Muslims, neither the Orthos or the Amish are interested in eventually forcing the rest of their host country to become like them.

Could-a, Should-a

Here’s one that got my right index finger twitching:

A Saudi Arabian asylum seeker activist has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering six people and injuring hundreds more at a Christmas market in Germany in 2024.

This week, the Magdeburg Regional Court handed down the maximum sentence to Taleb Al Abdulmohsen over an attack on the town’s Christmas market in which he used a rental car to plough into pedestrians, killing six, including a nine-year-old boy and five women. Over 300 more were left injured in the frenzied attack.

So far, so good — although a more fitting punishment would have been slow impalement — but here’s what got under my skin:

The Saudi Arabian native had arrived in Germany in 2006 and was granted asylum ten years later, despite warnings from Riyadh, Kuwait, and the United Kingdom over potential criminal acts.

…whereupon my feeling rage directed towards this asshole promptly transferred itself towards the Kraut officials who ignored those warnings and granted the lunatic asylum status.

So six people died and three hundred more people were injured as a result as a result of this foolishness.

Now read all about Citizen Vigilante.

Incentive

I see that Lewis Hamilton won the Spanish F1 Grand Prix in his Ferrari yesterday, this after coming in second place a week ago in Monaco.  Also, he’s been bonking Kim Kardashian recently.

I’m sure the two events (improved GP results and bonking Kimmy) aren’t related, unless the entire Kardashian coven has been casting spells on his behalf (which wouldn’t surprise me).

Expected Outcome

When you attempt to present a factual alternative to a narrative (in this case, The Narrative About EEEVIL Global Cooling Climate Warming Change©) in a forum run by the BBC, you should expect to be shut down, muzzled or otherwise gagged.

But Charlie Spedding nevertheless tried, and was of course shut off:

The website moderators informed me that my post had been deleted because it broke their house rules: ‘We reserve the right to fail comments which . . . are considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others, are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable; contain swear words or other language likely to offend.’

It will come as no surprise to anyone that absolutely none of the above applied to what he tried to post, but that didn’t matter:

‘In this instance, we believe the moderator made the correct decision so we will be unable to uphold your appeal. Due to the volume of correspondence we receive, we are unable to discuss this matter further.’

And that, as the actress said to the bishop, was that.

The problem, of course, is that some people still think that the BBC still behaves in the WWII-era of trusted news source, whereas they are more like the Soviet-era Pravda  than anything else.

At least with Pravda, though, they had reason to fear retribution from an actual hostile government, whereas in the U.K. the government isn’t involved at all:  it’s the BBC who are the censorious (and self-censuring) types.

Which of course is why the Beeb is at the forefront of all attacks on independent media (like Twitter and no doubt TCW) who dare to give a voice to the unruly members of the public whose views (the BBC considers) are either “fake” or “disruptive, provocative, offensive, racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable”.

That “freedom of expression” thing?  That’s just so American, and therefore vulgar (from the Latin word vulgus, a crowd).

Yeah, About That

So Iranian protestors are burning down mosques?  Why?  Well, here’s the reason:

These mosques are not places of worship, they serve as operation bases for the regime’s militias in residential neighborhoods. Mosques house armories for the Basij militias. They function as headquarters for repression and temporary detention centers for protesters.

Sounds like an excellent reason to set fire to the things and destroy them, then.  Then there’s this:

In Iran, for decades, mosques served as recruitment and indoctrination centers for the regime. The regime uses them to radicalize vulnerable people and transform them into hate filled killing machines against their own society.

If that sounds familiar, then it should, because we have similar institutions right here in the U.S.

Now I’m not going to suggest doing the same to American Ivy League universities, even though they’re doing pretty much the same thing (and not just with radical Islam, but with radical Marxism as well).  But the above link does help us focus our thinking, does it not?

And for the faint-hearted, I’m suggesting that we shut the damn things down and not burn them to the ground.  (College campuses could be used for so many good things, e.g. art galleries, shopping malls and shooting ranges;  it’d be a waste just to level them.)
