Hugh Fitzgerald: Introducing François Fillon (Part I)

BY HUGH FITZGERALD

We hear a lot about possible victories this year in Europe of anti-Islam candidates. Some are well-known outside their own countries, such as Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen, while others are not so well-known. One of them is François Fillon, who has a good chance to become the next President of France, and has now become outspoken on the menace of Islam. With his astonishing victory last fall in the two primaries of the Center-Right party in France, Fillon first knocked Nicolas Sarkozy out of the running, and then, in the runoff, had a landslide victory over Alain Juppé, garnering 66% of the vote. The pollyannish Juppé was known, among other things, for being soft on Islam, pushing a line about l identité heureuse” (“happy identity”) supposedly making it possible, in a way he never could explain, Muslim immigrants to unthreateningly become part of French society while still refusing to assimilate. France would now be the sum of its separate communities, and everyone would live “happily” side by side, and for ever after. Just like in the fairy tales, and fittingly, because it was sheer make-believe. For Juppé rejected the need for a ”French identity” upheld by the traditional Right. This “happy identity,” a plaintive why-can’t-we-all-get-along welcome to foreigners, is based on a refusal to admit that there is indeed a difference between today’s Muslim immigrants, so hostile to the values of their hosts, and the non-Muslim immigrants who came before, and accepted the values of the laic French state:

Juppé wants France “to be open both to its neighbors, and to the world.” For “what would France be without Marie Curie, who came from Warsaw, or Apollinaire, who was born a Polish subject of the Russian Empire, or Picasso, who was born in Spain, or Ionesco, child of Romania, or Francis Cheng, who grew up in China and arrived in Paris at the end of his adolescence?” asked Juppé, proud of this very special kind of immigration. “We are proud of this tradition of welcome and we want to keep it vibrant.”

Huggery meets thuggery

Kumbaya Jews are real a$$holes. Its like they suffer from some kind of learning disability. Or perhaps they’re too lazy to read. They are so eager to be deceived its like they’re Jewicidal … or something:

Philadelphia: Muslims tell Jews at interfaith gathering that “jihad doesn’t mean to go on a battlefield and fight”

It doesn’t? Somebody better tell the schools of Sunni jurisprudence:

Shafi’i school: A Shafi’i manual of Islamic law that was certified in 1991 by the clerics at Al-Azhar University, one of the leading authorities in the Islamic world, as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy, stipulates about jihad that “the caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…until they become Muslim or pay the non-Muslim poll tax.” It adds a comment by Sheikh Nuh Ali Salman, a Jordanian expert on Islamic jurisprudence: the caliph wages this war only “provided that he has first invited [Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians] to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya)…while remaining in their ancestral religions.” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.8).

Of course, there is no caliph today, unless one believes the claims of the Islamic State, and hence the oft-repeated claim that Osama et al are waging jihad illegitimately, as no state authority has authorized their jihad. But they explain their actions in terms of defensive jihad, which needs no state authority to call it, and becomes “obligatory for everyone” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.3) if a Muslim land is attacked. The end of the defensive jihad, however, is not peaceful coexistence with non-Muslims as equals: ‘Umdat al-Salik specifies that the warfare against non-Muslims must continue until “the final descent of Jesus.” After that, “nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent” (o9.8).

TEL AVIV – The sister of a Palestinian terrorist who plowed his truck into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem on Sunday, killing four and wounding 16, said the family was “thankful” for his “most beautiful martyrdom.”

“Praise be to Allah that he became a martyr. It is the most beautiful kind of saintly death,” Fadi al Qanbar’s sister Shadia, 28, told Palestinian media.

Iran’s Late, Lamented Rafsanjani a “Reformer”? What a Laugh!

Iran’s Late, Lamented Rafsanjani a “Reformer”? What a Laugh!

.
Despite what you may have read (for instance, here and here), the notion that Rafsanjani was a “moderate” looking to “reform” the totalitarian theocracy is a load of shiite.

The death of an illusion. 

Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran from 1989 to 1997, is dead, and the New York Times is inconsolable. Rafsanjani, you see, was a “reformer,” a “protector,” according to the Times, “of what was left of Iran’s marginalized reformist movement and others with more moderate views than the conservative hard-line clerics who hold sway in Iran’s security forces and judiciary.” As always, reality and what the New York Times reports couldn’t be farther apart.

Rafsanjani, said the Times, “supported Hassan Rouhani, the current president, who is now suddenly bereft of a powerful and influential background figure with Islamic revolutionary credentials that could not be questioned.” Without a trace of self-awareness, the Times’ longtime Tehran correspondent, Thomas Erdbrink, added in the very next sentence that “Mr. Rafsanjani” was also “a longtime comrade of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, although the two had their disagreements.”

So much for ‘gun free zones’

FBI: Suspect Flew to Gun-Free Ft. Lauderdale Airport ‘Specifically’ for Attack

Esteban Santiago, 26, was accused of killing five, wounding six and sending thousands scrambling for safety in a shooting rampage at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport

AFP  by AWR HAWKINS
.

The FBI’s George Piro says shooting suspect Esteban Santiago traveled to gun-free Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International “specifically” to carry out his attack.

Piro is Special Agent in Charge of Miami.

According to BBC, Piro made clear that “the suspect had traveled to Fort Lauderdale specifically to carry out the attack.” And Piro dispelled earlier claims that the attack was the result of an altercation aboard Santiago’s inbound flight, saying, “There was no sign of any altercation on the flight or at the airport before the attack began.”

The Crime Prevention Research Center reports that Florida is one of only six states that prohibit concealed carry permit holders from carrying guns in the unsecured areas of airports for self-defense. Santiago allegedly carried out his attack in the baggage claim area, which is unsecured.

Florida state Senator Greg Steube (R-23) is pushing legislation that would allow concealed permit holders to be armed in unsecured areas, thereby lessening the criminals’ advantage. On January 6–the very day of the Ft. Lauderdale attack–the New York Daily News mocked Steube’s efforts, saying:

We are supposed to think it is perfectly normal that it is now legal in the state of Texas, thanks to a Republican-controlled legislature, to carry concealed weapons on a college campus. So why wouldn’t a state senator in Florida like Steube, whoever he is, be just fine with people carrying guns through his state’s airports? If the bill becomes law in Florida, even after what happened at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International on Friday, make sure you send up a flare — or send out a tweet — the next time some passenger carrying a gun in an airport like that saves a single life. It will be like the Second Amendment on steroids.

Santiago’s flight originated in Alaska, which means that is where he first brought his firearm into the airport. However, Alaska differs greatly from Florida in that law-abiding Alaskans are allowed to be armed in the unsecured portions of airports for self-defense.

Libtards are up in arms about any suggestions that armed citizens could have stopped the carnage:

Hamas Savages Celebrate Vehicle Jihad in Jerusalem

CELEBRATIONS: Fakestinians pass out sweets to celebrate truck attack in Jerusalem that killed 4 and wounded 17 Israeli soldiers.

In the Gaza Strip, the ruling Hamas terror group praised the attack, calling it a “natural response to the Israeli occupier’s crimes” and proof that the “Jerusalem Intifada” was not over.

Thousands of Hamas activists and supporters took to the streets of Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza on Sunday night to rally against Israel and praise the terrorist ramming attack in Jerusalem which killed four Israelis.

Earlier on Sunday, a Palestinian rammed his truck into a group of Israeli soldiers on a popular promenade in Jerusalem, killing four of them in an attack which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said had likely been inspired by Islamic State.

Sweden, France, Britain will be negotiating ‘Land for Peace” anytime now…

RIGHT THEN, RIGHT NOW

Trading land for peace like Israel did, is what Europe is doing now. In the foreseeable future, we can see western nations giving up large parts of their countries  once terror and sharia enforcement begins with greater force.  Video thanks to Vlad Tepes

A decade ago, dopey Australia leftists were bewildered by Mark Steyn’s description of Malmo, Sweden, as a city threatened by Islamic immigration.

Steyn was right then, and he’s right now:

A violent gang of migrants turned a Swedish city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations into a “war zone” and chanted “jihad” as they sent fireworks into the crowds.

Photographer Freddy Mardell was planning on enjoying an evening out on Saturday when the mob launched their rampage in Malmo.

Describing scenes of horror, the Swede said one thug was calling for “jihad” while standing on top of a car in the city centre. 

Mr Mardell told Friatider: “An Arab jumped on the roof of a car and yelled ‘Jihad! Jihad!’ repeatedly.

“Swedish teenagers gathered in a large group to avoid being robbed.”

Continuing, the photographer claimed police, who were out in force as NYE celebrations in the area are known to get out of hand, were too afraid to leave their cars. 

“Malmo is a lost city,” Mr Mardell added as he said even journalists decided to leave out of fear for their own safety. 

One journalist reportedly said: “Staying here isn’t worth it. I’m not risking my life for this.“

After shocking footage of the shocking scenes emerged online, Swedish police admitted Malmo was not safe as they could not stop thugs from sending fireworks into the crowd.

Fireworks, practice bombs, no difference.

PA top dogs threaten that moving US embassy to Jerusalem “declaration of war on all Muslims”

Leftoids will say ‘lets give them Israel and be done with it’, completely ignoring that giving anything to Mohammedan savages will only wet their appetite. They want war, not for us to give them something, but to annihilate us.

A close aide to #Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls Donald J. Trump‘s stated intention to move the #US Embassy to the Israeli capital ‘a declaration of war on #Muslims‘, as another official threatens to call on Arab, Muslim countries to remove embassies from Washington.

Palestinians to Trump: moving embassy to J’lm equals declaration of war
YNETNEWS.COM
.

If President-elect Trump moves the US embassy to Jerusalem, this move will be a direct rebuke to “Palestinian” efforts to rewrite history and claim that the Jews have no historical connection to Jerusalem. The “Palestinians” and their allies are already portraying this as a grievous affront, and pusillanimous Western leaders such as John Kerry are echoing their claims, apparently in the belief that if they tiptoe around the thug and appease him, peace will ensue. In reality, however, refraining from acting for fear of how Muslims might react only emboldens the supremacists to make more demands. If Trump accedes to these threats and cancels the embassy move to Jerusalem, all he will get for his trouble will be more threats.

“PA religious leaders threaten religious war over Jerusalem,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, January 8, 2017:

In recent days, PA leaders have repeatedly threatened war and violence in response to the US potential recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving its embassy to Jerusalem. As Palestinian Media Watch has documented, Palestinian incitement to violence often accompanies Palestinian terror. Today, a Palestinian terrorist drove a truck into a group of soldiers who had just gotten off a bus in Jerusalem, murdering three women and one man and injuring several.

At least six Palestinian leaders close to Mahmoud Abbas threatened violence recently, some explicitly threatening a religious war.

On Friday, in a sermon in the presence of Mahmoud Abbas himself, Abbas’ advisor on religion Mahmoud Al-Habbash said American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving the embassy “is a declaration of war on all Muslims.” Al-Habbash preached that moving the embassy to Jerusalem “harms” Muslim faith, and then threatened: “This will not pass in silence“:

“The new American administration intends to transfer its embassy to Jerusalem. In a simple, calm, and rational manner, in clear words that need no explanation and which are unambiguous: Such a step, for every Muslim, is a declaration of war on all Muslims. It’s a declaration of war on all Muslims… when something harms our faith and our existence, we cannot stand by and do nothing. We will not agree to this under any circumstances. This will not pass in silence.”

When “Peace” Means Capitulation to Islam

by Giulio Meotti  •  January 8, 2017 at 5:45 am

  • “We will win because Americans don’t realize… we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting.” — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the al-Qaeda planners of the 9/11 attacks.
  • “This Spanish retreat [in 2004] will be perceived as a huge political triumph for Al Qaeda and like-minded Islamic radicals — probably their most important achievement since September 11, 2001.” — James Phillips, Heritage Foundation.
  • ISIS’s henchmen butchered 90 people at the Bataclan Theater. What did the French government do to avenge them and to destroy the Islamists responsible? Absolutely nothing. The day after an Islamist killed Westerners at a Christmas market in Berlin, no German military flight took off to bomb ISIS.
  • The next “peace conference” in Paris, on January 15, is where 70 nations will probably agree to another UN Security Council vote, to establish a Palestinian State, presumably with the Old City of Jerusalem, the heart of the Jewish people and sacred to the Christian people, as its capital. It is another terrible sign of the West’s soft capitulation to terror.
  • Like Israel today, the Czechs in the 1930s were accused of being “disturbers of the peace”. “Peace,” as in the inversions of George Orwell — sometimes means capitulation to Islam.

What inspired al-Qaeda to attack the United States, according to one of the terrorists, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who helped plan 9/11?

The American psychologist, James E. Mitchell, who crafted the interrogation program that helped stop terrorist attacks and saved countless lives after 9/11, just published a book, Enhanced Interrogation.

In it, KSM is quoted as saying that al-Qaeda expected the United States to respond to 9/11 as it had to the 1983 bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut — the United States “turned tail and ran.” In the end, KSM told Mitchell:

“We will win because Americans don’t realize… we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting. … Eventually, America will expose her neck for us to slaughter.”

Jerusalem truck attack: 15 injured after truck rams into crowd

At least 15 people have been injured after a truck rammed into a group of people in Jerusalem.

At least three people killed, yes, it is a terrorist attack …..

The driver has reportedly been shot.

Police are now looking to identify the terrorist.

Update:

Hamas’s official media already calling ramming attack in Jerusalem “heroic”

Update:
Typical AP BS reporting:

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say a truck has rammed into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says the truck veered off course Sunday and struck a group of soldiers who had just disembarked from a bus. She says the attacker has been neutralized.

Israel’s rescue service MDA says at least 15 soldiers have been wounded, including two critically.

Since last year, Palestinian attackers have killed 36 Israelis and two visiting Americans in a series of mostly stabbing attacks. During that time, 229 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire. Israel says most of the Palestinians killed were attackers while the rest died in clashes.

Israel says the violence is driven by Palestinian incitement. Palestinians say it’s the result of nearly 50 years of Israeli occupation
