We are of course at the end of the year and thoughts and wishes turn to 2009 and what that year will be like for each of us. Most thoughts of course are naturally personal. Happiness love and prosperity. For many of us, its political. What will the environment be like in the western world. I’m going to guess most readers of this blog already recognize there are problems with western liberal democracy. Massive ones. Earth shaking ones as the experiment in equality and freedom fails. I’m going to guess that few know what to do about it as our politicians over all seem more worried about the illusion of stability rather than the true maintenance of liberalism as Thomas Jefferson saw it.

I believe right to my heart and bones that the only thing that can be done is in fact individual acts of defiance. But defiance of what? Of ill^liberalism. Of imposed tyranny by the intolerant left, Islam, all who would tell us what we are allowed to say think wear and do.

History has a few consistent messages for us. When we submit to tyranny more will follow. Even when its something benign and seemingly for the public good such as no smoking sections in bars and restaurants by legislation which violates larger principles of freedom of property and individual rights it leads to absurd laws such as we have for patio’s now where any outdoor patio which has any degree of fixed cover or even too many umbrellas may not allow patrons to have a cigarette and a beer in the same place.

I ask you especially who despise cigarettes and ask yourselves if this loss of freedom is worth it to you.

When Ezra Levant and the Western standard were taken to the Human rights courts for 900 days of investigations and what would amount to about 5 years salary for me in costs to defend himself from accusations of racism for publishing the Danish cartoons, the center of a storm which was the largest news story on planet earth for months, one has to ask what the cost to all of us was for the submission by everyone else to not publish.

Once we agree to not say or do anything that might offend Muslims we are in fact living as second class citizens or ‘Dhimmis’ under a form of proxy sharia law. In this spirit I ask you for your defiance. The T shirts available here are a great statement. but not the only one possible. The distinction between deliberate offense of a religion for its own sake such as the ‘art’ piece which was proudly displayed at the National Gallery of Canada, ‘The Piss Christ’ which was merely a Catholic crucifix in a jar of urine was celebrated by the art world. The art world needs to know that under Islam art is forbidden altogether short of a few decorative lines on clay pots.

Additionally, most modern thinkers would have us believe that daring to confront the religious authority, any religious authority would be the work of the artist, the consummate renegade, the social malcontent or the plainly retarded. But defiance at it’s best is the domain of all thinking men and women; those whose refusal to submit to the workings of irrational codes of conduct ensures the natural progression of the creative, human mind. It was no coincidence that Hitler’s regime sought out first and foremost to capture and destroy artists; Pol Pot was no different in his culling and extermination of the most dangerous minds to him and the Iranian regime first murdered over one hundred thousand people in the arts, the very people the Ayatollah used to overthrow the Shaw and install the Islamic regime in Iran. But the artists now here as then are merely the useful idiots for the new tyrants of political correctness and ironically Islam.

So wear a T shirt which shows non submission. With an image of Mohamed or whatever. Maybe showing the stone Buddhas that the Taliban destroyed as a signal to the world. Collectors offered to buy the statues at the time and move them but the Taliban wanted to be clear that Islam would not tolerate images of other faiths nor even any image of something god made as they see it to merely exist . No images of people or animals as we see in Bangladesh where Muslims are busy destroying works of art depicting flocks of birds and frankly of anything at all.

We KNOW what submission brings. More demands for more submission. I ask for defiance. Eat a ham sandwich during Ramadan for lunch. Why is that defiant? In England governments are being asked not to serve food at all during daylight hours in meetings of city council so as not to ‘offend’ the muslims there.

What we in Canada especially consider an opportunity to be polite and show kindness by adjusting to the sensitivities of others no matter how irrational has become in fact the first step to actually mandating these acts of submission. They are simply no longer acts of kindness when they are forced.

This may be a good time to remind people how Galileo drew a cartoon of the pope in his courageous book on celestial mechanics for which he was jailed. One could argue that had he not ridiculed the church it may have slowed down the growth of reason in Europe a great deal. It was his willingness to personally sacrifice by ridiculing irrational religious authority that bought us all freedom beyond the understanding of most of humanity for most of our history. To be clear on this, its not merely a right to criticize irrational religious authority, its a duty and even a historical responsibility to do so.

We have become not only good at destroying every taboo in western classical society by questioning it out of existence we have become cynical about them. This as a stand alone thing, not so bad. But add to it a kind of fascination with primitive and barbaric even superstitious cultures and the notion that because we represent our own history as barbaric usually with little or no understanding of it, we somehow think that those culture’s current barbarism is somehow to be expected and accepted. Be warned, we are indeed truly on a precipice to the end of a golden age of liberty and individualism.

Ultimately I would like to extend to all liberals those who agree and those who hate me but choose to answer me by arguing and hopefully changing my mind, my favorite moments are when I am shown to be wrong and accept a new view by reason, a merry Christmas and all the best fruition of your hopes and dreams for the new year. To the irrational and authoritarian left, to those Muslims who believe I have a right to think and live exactly as you do, who would force me to submission of your values like the Human Rights Commission did to Rev. Boission, I offer you scorn. Scorn contempt and defiance.

James Cohen Dec 2008

It seems that job options for devout Muslims are pretty limited. Or at least, the parasites try to convince us that they’re limited in the wicked West, leaving only welfare (jizya) as an option. I mean really, when you bring your sixth century education over here, you are pretty much left with cab driver or warehouse worker. And only Muslims seem to know how to fuck up even those most simple of professions.

A muslim is suing Tesco for religious discrimination after having to carry crates of alcohol as part of his job.

Forklift truck driver Mohammed Ahmed [How did we know his name was going to be Mohammed?], 32, worked in one of the supermarket giant’s warehouses for eight months before quitting ‘in protest’, an employment tribunal heard.

He claims he was forced to leave because handling beer, spirits and wine is against his strict Islamic beliefs and that he was victimised when he asked the company to give him another role.

Let me tell you how I think this played out.

Mohammed: Work is haaaarrrd!

Achmed (neighbor): This is England. You don’t have to work. The cursed Infidel will pay for you to stay home and pray.

Mohammed: How can this be? They do not pay the jizya here.

Achmed: Yes, they do. They call it welfare. You just have to complain enough so that no one will hire you, and then you get to collect the welfare. It is the Infidel word for jizya. Make the swine-eaters pay!

They may not be smart enough to work, but they are certainly smart enough not to work.

A radical Muslim preacher has been filmed talking about fraudulently claiming benefits and giving advice on how to cheat the Government.

After a story about a wealthy man, he said: “There was one man, he had a lot of money - just like us, we have a lot of money today from the income support and the incapacity benefit.

“Obviously when you have the incapacity benefit, you want to make sure you walk with a limp when you leave the house just in case there’s someone taking pictures.

“Obviously you don’t need to tell them that, the Department of Work and Pensions.”

Waleed has links through the London School of Shariah, in Bethnal Green, which hosts guest speakers such as jailed fanatic Abu Hamza and radical British Islamist Anjem Choudary.

Now to be fair, Islam - like all the major religions - prohibits stealing.

[5:38] The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from GOD. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.

But this isn’t stealing. Islam doesn’t see you and I - or the West - as worth adhering to that Sura for. Instead we pay the jizya to live as dhimmis, under a completely different Sura.

[9:29] “Fight against such as those to whom the Scriptures were given [Jews and Christians]…until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.”

So really, they’re doing nothing wrong. After all, we are utterly subdued.

President George W. Bush warned U.S. lawmakers Wednesday they risk causing “great harm” to America’s relationship with Turkey if Congress passes a resolution declaring the 1915 slaughter of Armenians “genocide.”

George, nobody’s going to buy into your idea that the war is for our domestic protection if you continue to insist on sucking the collective dick of Islam. A million and a half people were killed in the Armenian Genocide - double the amount murdered in Rwanda. It was a genocide. And you’re doing no one - except the terrorists - any favors when you take away from that.

How long before you start agreeing with Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust never happened, all for the sake of some ridiculous Islamic appeasement strategy?

I was tipped to this by reader David from the Libertarian Alliance.

Islamic workers at Sainsbury’s who object to alcohol on religious grounds are told to raise their hands when encountering any drink at their till so that a colleague can temporarily take their place or scan items for them.

Other staff have refused to work stacking shelves with wine, beer and spirits and have been found alternative roles in the company.

Sainsbury’s said this weekend it was keen to accommodate the religious beliefs of all staff but some Islamic scholars condemned the practice, saying Muslims who refused to sell alcohol were reneging on their agreements with the store.

Islam states that Muslims should not consume alcohol, but opinion is divided on whether it is permissible to be involved in the sale of it.

Mustapha, a Muslim checkout worker at the company’s store in Swiss Cottage, northwest London, interrupts his work to ensure that he does not have to sell or handle alcohol.

Two words, Mustapha: You’re fired.

Why on earth would you take a job somewhere when you know full well that you are prohibited from doing an integral (heck, in Britain, it’s near mandatory) part of it. That would be like me applying to be a pilot, and then telling them I can’t be forced to fly because I’m afraid of it.

David forwarded me a letter that Sean Gabb (also of the Libertarian Alliance) sent to Sainsburys:

Monday, 08 October 2007

Philip Hampton
Chairman
J. Sainsbury plc
33 Holborn
London EC1N 2HT

Dear Mr Hampton,

I am writing to object to your policy of allowing some Moslem employees to
opt-out of serving your customers by scanning alcohol products despite
assurances by the Moslem council of Britain and various other Islamic groups
that this is not a requirement of Islamic law. This policy was reported in
The Sunday Times on the 30th September 2007

As a Sainsbury’s customer I feel offended that I may be served by a
Sainsbury’s employee who, for his own personal reasons, feels that my
purchases are “unclean” and refuses to handle them. Furthermore, I am not
willing to be delayed at your store in order to accommodate the prejudices
of your employees.

I am further concerned that your decision on this issue will lead in future
to your allowing other groups of your employees not to serve me with pork,
beef, meat products, toiletries tested on animals, condoms, Christmas cards,
books of Bible stories, imports from Israel, or anything else they may
insist they do not like.

Therefore I will no longer shop at any of your stores until you reverse this
decision.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Sean Gabb

Sean, I can almost guarantee that Sainsbury’s does not give a flying fart about your well thought out letter. You see, Sean, you are white, and as such, your demographic is dwindling. Soon enough most grocery outlets in Britain will not even sell liquor, lest they offend they bulk of their new demographic. It’s called dhimmitude, Sean. Free market dhimmitude. And we’re damned if we do or if we don’t.

Scottish doctors won’t be eating at their desks during Ramadan.

DOCTORS and health workers have been banned from eating lunch at their desks - in case it offends their Muslim colleagues.

Health chiefs believe the sight of food will upset Muslim workers when they are celebrating the religious festival Ramadan.

The lunch trolley is also to be wheeled out of bounds as the 30-day fast begins next month.

Scottish. Doctors. What the hell is going on in this world? Muslim doctors try to blow up Glasgow International, and suddenly you can’t have a chopped egg sandwich at your desk between patients lest you offend them?? We have fallen through the looking glass, haven’t we?

He added: “The idea is to get faith in the workplace out in the open.”

OK, maybe I’ll try that. I’ll put up a great big bloody gruesome crucifix at my desk at the office and see how long it’s allowed to remain… Any bets?

Sooner or later, the Muslims will have their way in Scotland, and there will be casualties resulting from it. I only hope the doctors who have to treat those casualties had time to grab a bite to eat in secret, so they can focus on saving lives that the kith and kin of their coworkers (or in the case of the last attempt - actual coworkers) tried to destroy.

Hamas states its case clearly that minorities will not be respected, and if they refuse their dhimmitude, they face either expulsion or death. What sayeth the western apologists for Hamas ? How will they manage to twist this around and use it to blame Israel?

Read it all at Tundra Tabloid - a Right Wing Finnish Blog- thats what I said

Dean Esmay says “Talk about anything“. I call bullshit. Fucking hypocrite.

Ever notice that in addition to not labelling terrorists as terrorists, that our dhimmi media also refers to many towns in the Middle East (except Jerusalem) as “the holy city of…”? Or how about how Mohammed is always referred to as “The Prophet Mohammed”? I’m surprised they don’t write “PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him)” after each mention, but I’m sure it’s coming. It’s only a matter of time.

If this has already occurred to you, I apologize for being slow about it. I just noticed it while reading this, and seeing that all the photo captions had “holy city of…” It’s a little annoying.

Unbelievable. The British no longer wait to be forced, threatened, coerced or even asked to subject themselves to the rules of Islam. Instead they race headlong into dhimmitude by tearing away pieces of their own culture and traditions.

Little Red Riding Hood … Hansel and Gretel … the Three Little Puppies?

That’s what one British school renamed the traditional Three Little Pigs story for a school play, so as not to offend Muslims in the community, London’s Daily Mail reported.

Organizers of the children’s musical theater performance changed the lyrics’ character’s names in a move some — including Muslims — are saying went too far.

“The vast majority of Muslims have no problem whatsoever with the Three Little Pigs. It’s always been the traditional way of telling the story and I don’t see why that should be changed,” Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain told the Daily Mail, saying the name change was “bizarre.”

The Muslims are laughing at them. What would Churchill think if he saw this suicidal behavior? What must the Queen think?

I must remember, when next we visit my in-laws in Britain, to wear hijab. The locals seem to prefer it.

From LGF:

DEMANDS for a ban on “un-Islamic” activities in schools will be set out by the Muslim Council of Britain today.

Targets include playground games, swimming lessons, school plays, parents’ evenings and even vaccinations.

And the calls for all children to be taught in Taliban-style conditions will be launched with the help of a senior Government education adviser. Professor Tim Brighouse, chief adviser to London schools, was due to attend the event at the capital’s biggest mosque. His presence there was seen as “deeply worrying”, and a sign that the report was backed by the Government.

Tory MP Greg Hands said: “The MCB needs to realise it has to move closer to the rest of the community, not away from it. The presence of Tim Brighouse implies Government backing of this report. This is very worrying.”

“Worrying” is a typically British understatement. It’s disgusting, terrifying, unacceptable, ridiculous and a whole lot of other words, many of them harsher than “worrying”. Britain is happily embracing the culture that will destroy them, having already given up and decided it isn’t worth fighting to preserve a once-Great Britain.
