Comments on: Paris: A Fool’s Paradise Is a Wise Man’s Hell https://www.quantumcannibals.com/a-fools-paradise/ a novel, and a website about science, progress and culture Mon, 23 Nov 2015 05:06:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: M. Singer https://www.quantumcannibals.com/a-fools-paradise/#comment-1178 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 05:06:45 +0000 http://www.quantumcannibals.com/?p=1264#comment-1178 “Ask a Muslim imam for an unqualified condemnation of the Paris terror attacks.” OK, so ask any imam from the tens of thousands of them around the world. I’m pretty sure you’ll find someone to give an unqualified condemnation. The fact that you wrote this kind of line is proof that this article is nothing more than a thinly veiled attack on “savage” Muslims. Judging 1 billion people because of the fanaticism of a few?! Not a Jewish concept…

“We cannot expect the passage of time to elevate people’s behavior” – sure we can. Just look at the Western world over the past few centuries – increasingly universal rights, universal suffrage, reductions in open racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, more protections of minorities by the law, etc., etc. Again, to judge 1 billion people based on the “behavior” of clearly “unelevated people” is ridiculous…

The idea of taxonomy of species is a relatively recent addition to western thought.
“For the cristiano viejo it was axiomatic that morality did not apply to the “other.” The theological basis for such a view becomes obvious upon considering that, in the eyes of the Church, “love” does not apply to members of other religions. Christianity was the first religious system (followed by Islam) to introduce the idea of religious enemy (in contradistinction to the political enemy, which is a Jewish concept) whereby all non-Christians are regarded as sub-humans and bereft of rights”
–Chacham Jose Faur

Perhaps the availability of enlightened information on the Internet will help but there is no evidence to support this.

You might in Montana. Don’t try it in Mecca.

Why?

Because, Islam trains a small number of its most devout believers it’s OK to kill. And Islamic killers have been trained to kill anyone who insults Allah and/or Mohammad.

In Montana you’d have a good chance none of these Islamic killers would see you.

In Mecca you wouldn’t last five minutes. One of Islam’s killers would come from out of nowhere and kill you. It is that simple.

You don’t believe me? Ask any Muslim!

Read how Islamic theology slowly eradicates what preceded it.

The left has brought this on us through mass immigration and accommodation of foreign, barbaric beliefs and practices. They ensure that our responses will not only be feeble but also enrage our enemies. Defeating a backward and fanatic enemy is childs play compared to dealing with the destructive forces of western socialism.

I think this is a slow moving world war. I think the liberal values are a catch 22 for Europe. They are so liberal as to slide into a civil war that will end European life forever.
The bad guys are local. They are Europeans. They are taking over, like water lilies on a pond. Soon the entire pond will be covered. But it is already too late. There is no military solution. You can bomb ISIS in the middle east, but you cannot uproot it in Paris, Brussels, Berlin, London. It is too late.
The cult of death has little to do with religion. Allah is window dressing. These are nihilist bad people who are addicted to violence and mayhem. Young people join them because they promise a life devoid of rules. All is permitted. It is oddly liberating (for bad folk) to kill and pillage and rape, and to be valued for mayhem. They are anti-civilizationists, not religious fanatics. They use 21st century technology to their advantage, but stone age morals that seek to destroy all in their path for no real gain other than a letting loose of all civilization’s constraints.
This will not end. This is a new “normal” we must accept. There can be no solution to this problem. You cannot throw money, tanks, bombs at the problem.
Unless you institute an immoral dictatorial murderous world order, as evil as the problem we seek to confront.
