[jihad japes] holding out for those 72 virgins

There's a pretty blogger with a lot of pro-activity [which my mate admires] and with a pretty neat blog too. One thing which puzzles me is why she is so supportive of our troops in Afghanistan and at the same time, is railing against Islamophobia, which [officially] put the troops there in the first place?

"Islamophobia" is one of those weasel words, one of those emotive catchcries, easily delivered by the mindless or the clever and cynical, which assumes and insinuates that there is something sick in anyone who opposes Islamicization and in Islam itself, the way the Imam's teach it - assumes and insinuates it without allowing right of reply.

So here is the reply to that weasel word.

Quite frankly, there is a problem. That problem can be seen here, for a start and the comments on those posts leaves the MCB in no doubt of the depth of feeling on the issue in this country. Against that, on the personal front and leaving the political issue aside, I've had Muslim girlfriends, was considering marrying a Muslim and was also considering becoming one.

Islamophobia is not a dirty word but it's dirty in the way it's just been sprayed around at anyone who opposes the takeover of our society by Islam, which is Islam's stated aim.

So sorry - no, we're not putting up with that.

This politico-social movement, masquerading as a religion, spawns terrorists, the whole world is aware of it, even the buddhists and sikhs and that's why our troops think they're over in Afghanistan [whether the real reason is that or not]. The aim of those troops who are laying their lives on the line daily, is to free the world of terrorism, by hitting at its source.

Every political issue has its black humour and this one of the takeover of the world is no different. Do you remember the following two clips?

From the Underdoug:



Another for good measure:

Now, are those clips racist or Islamophobic or what are they?

Like the Muslim cartoons in Denmark, they're just how one side of the conflict sees the other. So what? The Muslim media includes the most "appalling" vilifications of us and do we worry about it? Are we crying WASPaphobic or losing sleep over it? We might occasionally imagine a concerted rocket attack on all the major mosques which have supplanted peaceful churches the world over and which built on their very sites, particularly in Jerusalem, to give them some of their own back but we're not actually thinking of doing that in practice.

So we mock terrorists and the founder of the movement which created them. What are we inciting? We're inciting people to oppose and block Islamic expansion in our land. Not to stir up hatred of the ordinary Muslim but to cease planning permission for expansion, on the grounds that anywhere this has got a foothold in a community, anywhere in the world, it's led to trouble. From Darfur to London, the story's always the same.

It's to demand of the Muslims and the Jews and the Chinese and the Indians and Canadians that when you're in our land, you respect our heritage and do things with that in mind. It's to say to any minority group: "The tail does not wag the dog."

Who is "we"? Anyone out there who agrees with this point of view, that's all.
