…says “I told you so” and enough is enough:
In all naivety, Deputy Prime Minister Asscher states that there is an “urgent demand” from Muslims to “crack down” on this phenomenon. Last Friday, in its letter to Parliament, the Cabinet wrote that jihadists are hardly significant. They are called a “sect”, and a “small” group.
This is what those who look away wish, these deniers of the painful truth for ten years and two days, the ostrich brigade Rutte 2.
But the reality is different. According to a study, 73% of all Moroccans and Turks in the Netherlands are of the opinion that those who go to Syria to fight in the jihad are “heroes.” People whom they admire.
And this is not a new phenomenon. Thirteen years ago, 3,000 people died in the attacks of 9/11. We remember the images of burning people jumping from the twin towers. Then, also, three-quarters of the Muslims in the Netherlands condoned this atrocity. That is not a few Muslims, but hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the Netherlands condoning terrorism and saying jihadists are heroes. I do not make this up. It has been investigated. It is a ticking time bomb.
Madam Speaker, is it a coincidence that for centuries Muslims were involved in all these atrocities? No, it is not a coincidence. They simply act according to their ideology. According to Islam, Allah dictated the truth to Muhammad, “the perfect man.” Hence, whoever denies the Koran, denies Allah. And Allah leaves no ambiguity about what he wants.
I think we’re reaching a tipping point.
Brave man.
A lot of us told you so. And the and multi-culti bespeckled bowtied bumkissers of Obama buried their heads in the sand deeper.
Hope you like it down there – it will not save your head if they come after you.

“It is hard for democratic voters to give up a bit of affluence in peace to ensure that they do not lose it all in war. It is even harder for sophisticated liberal thinkers to admit that after centuries of civilized life, we still have no better way of preventing Neanderthal wars than by reminding Neanderthals that we have the far bigger club — and will use it if provoked.”
I’m waiting to see when government worldwide over reacts and turns on all religious organizations.
Babylon the great will fall.
It is weird how they claim, but Christians do it too! Like that was the only other choice for a religion out there. How about Buddhists, Sikhs, or Hindi? Do they do these things too?
What’s weird is the left sees no difference between a pattern and an outlier.
That’s because–and I’m sure, Karl, you know this–they don’t hate those other religions, only Christianity.
I was digging into the Koran’s story of Noah (to debate with some of my Iraqi Sunni neighbors), since repeating one of the dumbest (most easily disproved) stories of the Old Testament is a definite problem in a book that purports to be the absolute word of Allah and the absolute truth.
Interestingly, in the Koran’s version of the flood, Noah was goading Allah to wipe out all of humanity, except for Noah and his family of course, because people were mocking him and refused his leadership. So of course Noah, being an angry, genocidal mass murderer who exterminated the entire population of the Earth, the Koran celebrates him as a hero and an esteemed prophet. Can anyone say “death cult”?
The Flood story has some historical basis. The strait of Gibraltar was once a narrow land bridge between Morocco and Spain, and the Mediterranean was much lower; back then the Black Sea didn’t even exist. Sometime around the end of the last glacial period that land bridge gave way and the Atlantic poured into the Mediterranean and Black seas. There are prehistoric villages along the old Mediterranean coast, currently 30 feet below the water. For anyone who lived along that coastline, the whole world was indeed flooding.
The Mediterranean basin was filled far to long ago to inspire the flood myth. The filling of the Black Sea and Red Sea basins, on the other hand, are in reasonable time frames to inspire the story.
And it looks like we can’t rule out a major impact in the Indian Ocean.
There have been any number of historical floods that we know about and many more that we don’t, some large and some small. There are also flood myths among many different societies, Trying to pick what flood or what society the great flood referenced in the Bible was the root is a waste of time. We will never have a complete knowledge of human history. We are forced to speculate based on Archaeological theories and extremely limited physical evidence. I guess it can be fun to speculate though.
Common or similar myths that different societies have or ones that have passed from one society to another are interesting and IMO, could point to some actual incident that happened in pre-history. Some peoples have stories about giants, trolls, or some other humanoid creatures which is straight up nuts right? But then we learn Neanderthals and Denisovans interbred with modern humans. Who is to say that these other humanoids are not part of the mythology?
Creationists are often mocked for believing that the Earth is only six thousand years old, I doubt many Christians actually believe this, but six thousand years is about the limit of our knowledge. Humans and our cousins existed for far longer and we know virtually nothing about our past.
We like to write things down but in the past storytelling was used to pass on knowledge and lessons. It isn’t a great leap to think that some of these stories from pre-history have survived the countless clashes of societies and cultures into the present day like a game of telephone but it is impossible to trace it back to the beginning.
A flood is pretty easy, especially things like the refilling of the Black Sea. But both the Bible and the Koran go for a flood that submerges the highest mountains for a significant period of time. That tweak probably came from noticing fossilized sea creatures in high altitude sedimentary rocks.
Both stories, however, are completely add odds with science (geology, physics, etc) and are trivial to refute. Serious Christian scholars backed away from a literal interpretation of the flood shortly after the discovery of the New World, when it became obvious that the animals in the Americas didn’t swim across the Atlantic ocean to get on a boat so they wouldn’t drown, and then swam back home. I figure that would be an easy flaw to point out to the Muslims living here, but many Muslims claim the Koranic flood was local, despite the Koran indicating that the flood was global, with waves high as mountains. Even a local flood isn’t going to cover the mountains and wipe out all animal life, much less all of humanity, and if the flood was just local Noah wouldn’t have needed to load two of each animal into the ark, which is a key element in both versions.
My point is that both Muslims and most Christians regard the Bible as having contradictions and containing some errors, and that some Bible stories are false. However, Muslims believe that the Koran corrected all these, and that every word in the Koran is true. Whereas Christian interpretation of the Bible is flexible, Islamic belief in the Koran is very brittle. If any part of it is blatantly false, then Allah didn’t write it and Muahmmed was just making shit up.
So I’d try “OMG, Muhammed copied the Noah story? That one’s dumber than f***! It’s an old reworked pagan fairy tale that was just used to advance the plot. Muhammed should’ve been more careful about which Bible stories he picked, because that one is cute but ridiculously false. We just kept to entertain the kids because they like the pretty animal pictures. If there were ever enough water vapor in the sky to make 20,000 feet worth of rain, then due to gravity and adiabatic heating the surface conditions would’ve been about the same as Venus and wooden boat wouldn’t have done a damn bit of good. “
“Whereas Christian interpretation of the Bible is flexible, Islamic belief in the Koran is very brittle. ”
This may not be true. There are supporting documents that go along with the Koran that interpret or re-interpret the Koran. This means there is room for a reformation of ideology but the problem is that the wrong kind of Muslim is often killed by other Muslims.
