New fascism reflected in Charlie Hebdo Paris shootings : Comments

By Mal Fletcher, published 8/1/2015

We must stare down this new form of fascism with the same clear thinking and bold resolve our forebears demonstrated in their battles with twentieth century varieties.

Dear Killarney

Only a few years ago, a Canberra art exhibition displayed a sculpture depicting our Queen and her husband Prince Phillip, sitting naked on a park bench. In addition, an "artist" in Sydney placed an exhibit entitled "Piss Christ" on display, which was a crucifix submersed in a bottle of human urine. There was a public outcry about both of these works of "art", but the ABC luvvie types laughed their heads off and defended the artists right to parody the Royal family, religion, and anybody else they took aim at. But with Islam, a different rule applies.

Trendies like yourself defend the Muslims right to not be offended because you know that they will react violently, and that will not sit well with your presumption that in a secular, democratic, multicultural society, we can all find common ground and live peacefully. People like yourself wanted to create a non discriminating, tolerant society where everybody was treated equally, and where Human Rights solved everything. But you buggered yourself up when you imported Muslims who have a completely different idea of human rights than you do, are totally intolerant, have bizarre cultural norms, and traditionally react violently to almost any situation which upsets them.

Now you have to defend the indefensible. You want to believe in a society with equality for all, while at the same time finding lame reasons why Muslims should be more equal than the rest of us. The Islamic religion alone must be free of criticism and satire.

It is time to realise that you made a ghastly mistake. Instead, you perform mental gymnastics trying to find excuses as to why Muslims should be treated differently. Almost everything that Muslims believe in is diametrically opposed to everything that we believe in. How on Earth you and your comrades ever thought that you could import people with 12th Century mindsets into advanced societies, and not have them crash around in the China shop, is beyond me. Your humanitarian ideology which regards everybody as equal, and that they must be treated equally, is self evidently not working.

Your Muslim friends are probably "aghast" Craig Minns, because in their societies, had positions been reversed, they would see nothing wrong with exterminating every Christian they could get their hands on. That just happens to be the standard response towards minorities in every Muslim country when they get upset with a minority.

All you have to do is have some design on a pair of Adidas sneakers which looks something like the word "Allah" written in Arabic, and churches get burned, villages raided, and Christians are massacred.

They probably can't understands why we are not doing to them in Australia, what they know they would do to us in their own countries.

Well done LEGO, you win the 'Prize Pinhead of the Month' award. It's a special achievement to manage it so early in the month, but the judges agreed that it's such a perfect example of the rarely seen triple run (off at the mouth; around like a headless chook; and the crowd favourite - the eye-watering through-the legs skulljammer with pike and half twist, now to be forever known as the running joke in your honour) that it deserves proper recognition. You can pick up the award at the front counter, but make sure you give that prizewinning pinhead a thorough clean first. After all, we know where it's been!

It's early days, but some say the performance has a chance for the annual gong!

LEGO,

"They probably can't understand why we are not doing to them in Australia, what they know they would do to us in their own countries."

And Islamists would interpret that to mean that Westerners are weak, even 'unprincipled', i.e., they don't apply the 'principle' of: schmooze [Teqqiya, lying in the cause) when you are weak, butcher when you are strong.

As for Left-opportunists like Killarney, they tend not only to have the same underlying tendency [weak as piss as they may be], but also an arrogant belief that they can eventually 'use' the Islamists, manipulate them, and then move in once their common enemy has been destroyed.

Bertrand Russell was spot-on when he compared Bolshevism to Islam, both brutal, unspiritual, anti-democratic grabs for power, impatient with the slowness of less brutal, less civilized, means of gaining power. As an ex-believer, I cringe to think how spot-on he was, even back in 1920.

Problem is: guess who will get rubbed out first once the Islamists take power ?

I don't think even Killarney should be forced to imagine his head on a stick. Islamism must be opposed 100 % wherever, like pus out of a sore, it oozes out of the dark. Even for the sake of morons like Killarney.

Craig,

You're sooooo out of your depth: sit back and learn.

Joe

Now it's quite interesting that just having given Constance a serve for her invective towards David f, I should probably match that effort and condemn Craig Minns for his effort in response to LEGO.

So I'm wondering whether or not it's just plain bias on my behalf (I'm sure certain among you will help me out there:) that I found Craig's effort quite entertaining - whereas I find Constance's constant invective merely venomous.

Is it because Craig's mockery contained "wit" and "humour" - the sort of material employed by cartoonists to get a serious message across, whereas plain abuse and outrage is limited in its reach.

Here's an example of mockery in relation to Charlie Hebdo...a picture paints a thousand words..and if undertaken with wit an cleverness is apt to be more profound.

Arjay,
Still maintain it was a setup job ?
If so why didn't the brothers just disappear, never to be seen again ?
Run out of Bex yet ?

Craig, you are just making a show of yourself. Your last was positively silly.
