Exaggerating the terror genie: reflections on a fake sheik : Comments
By Binoy Kampmark, published 17/12/2014While the Sydney holdup says absolutely nothing about a terror 'wave', it is being read as part of a current, with Australia being caught in it.

Ms Gillard certainly still claims to be victim of naivety. She is demanding an apology. Emily's listers certainly have the hide of a rhinosceros. How to be perpetually the victim no matter how disgusting the behaviour.

What of the two men accompanying Monis, and dressed like him, on his way to the cafe? I'm awaiting something to turn up on this, but nothing so far. He was in a relationship so I'm also awaiting something regarding the interrogation of his partner.
Understandably, this 'insane lone-wolf' narrative is authority grooming and calming the general population's response. The vast majority of Australian's are sensible enough not to see all Muslims as extremists, but also sensible enough to know we've just been jihaded by some who are. The narrative relies heavily upon the actual event as evidence for insanity, but this was not a prior medical diagnosis. Some who encountered him did not find him to be deranged as much as intensely and tenaciously focused, demonstrable by his High Court challenge to the ruling on his poison letters, which opened flaws in our legal system and is discussed well here: https://theconversation.com/man-haron-moniss-poison-letters-split-the-high-court-and-laid-bare-a-flaw-in-the-system-35557 I would venture that medically, even after hypothetical conviction for his sexual misdemeanors and role in his wife's death, his sanity would not come into question. I would venture that an insanity plea on those charges would not be accepted by a court, whatever his prior form around town. The insane lone-wolf narrative has no clothes. He was not insane, he was not alone. At some point we will have to bite the bullet and look with complete honesty at this. We need moderate Muslims to have a formal commitment to rooting out the problem, and not just joining in outrage and hand-wringing with each atrocity, actual or thwarted. I think it should be now, while the iron is freshly hot and the sentiment is there. Posted by Luciferase, Sunday, 21 December 2014 11:17:25 PM

Runner, don’t forget the guy recently killed in France, attacking the police while yelling AllahuAkbar, which translated into English from the Amish Dutch, means “I hate hawaiian bars” or something like that. It can’t be anything to do with the religion of peace. Yes, the New York killer was a Muslim and left a message quoting the Quran. How surprising.
The so-called sheik might be a fake, but he isn’t alone. The “I’ll ride with you” is exposed as the child of the imagination of a liberal, multiculturalist young woman who sees Australia as racist and violent. That campaign was based upon a phoney, made up event, as follows: “Confession time. In my Facebook status, I editorialised. She wasn’t sitting next to me. She was a bit away, towards the other end of the carriage…. She might not even be Muslim or she could have just been warm!” http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/how-illridewithyou-began-with-rachael-jacobs-experience-on-a-brisbane-train-20141216-128205.html So the whole episode was imagined to make Muslims seem to be victims of hate and racism was made up, and Australians to be violent racists, and this even before the real victims were buried. Being true is less important than pushing the “standard narrative” that the West in general is full of evil people that persecute all non-Whites or something. This narrative is promoted by government, clergy, the media, academia and of course, by minorities particularly Muslims, as well as foolish people that buy into that narrative without reflecting on simple facts. Reminds me of the Rigoberta Menchu hoax. When she was exposed was a liar, her supporters invented the idea of “narrative truth”, which means that although most of the facts in her story were false (not ‘historical truth’) those things maybe happened to someone else, or could have happened. The same with the false rape stories in the US last week. Any accusation against whites, or males or Western cultures must be true!! Luc, I didn’t know about the two men, but the guy’s Facebook, with its hate and violence, had 63,000 “likes”. What does that say about Muslims or stupid Australians?

Kactuz, since when has the truth mattered to the Left?
