Rocking the Appeasement Boat

"[Muslims] may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators."
"The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today, is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."
"Australians are facing dangerous African gangs and Muslim terrorists more and more frequently. We need castle doctrine and the right to bear arms so law abiding citizens can defend themselves against these murderous criminals."
"Another weekend of African gang violence in Australia. Africans sexually assaulting and bashing innocent women. This is disgusting behaviour that continues to occur more and more frequently as Legislators, Police and the Courts do nothing." 
Australian Senator Fraser Anning

"I would normally not want to give this any oxygen, but I want to absolutely and completely denounce the statements made by Senator Anning ... on this horrendous terrorist attack, with issues of immigration, in his attack on Islamic faith specifically."
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison

"We call on the Australian government to assist in demanding a resignation from this man who blames victims for their own violent deaths, and uses references to genocide to further his hateful agenda."
"There is no place for bigotry. There is no place for hate speech."

So a Senator in Australia becomes the victim of a teen who wants to post a video of himself starring in a role of avenger of scurrilous remarks about immigrants to Australia and New Zealand and finds himself penalized by said victim who reacts by pummelling him in return. An ego-driven kid with a cellphone and the opportunity to seek instant fame and notoriety by seizing the day stalking and opportunistically victimizing a parliamentarian to demonstrate how audaciously bold he is respecting no authority other than that he anticipates from social media, is defended - the senator mocked.

Of course Senator Anning did the unthinkable -- to provoke this kid's attention selecting him as a target -- by invoking the ideology of Islamism and the culture of lawlessness and violence that accompanies it, infiltrating Western democracies. Which would not of course, had spurred attention had it not occurred in the wake of a horrendous atrocity carried out by a non-Muslim psychopath against innocent Muslims worshipping at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The very name of the city invokes irony under the circumstances.

No one in their right mind would deny the barbarism of the attack, deliberately staged to slaughter innocent people to make an ideological statement which in the end demonstrates that hatred and violence and the wish to slaughter other human beings is the monopoly of Islamist jihadists. But the simple fact remains, attested to by the reality that jihadist attacks vastly outnumber any retributive attacks by non-Muslims, that it is violence carried out by Muslims against others of their faith and against Western democracies and non-Muslims that presents a global terrorist blight.

Anyone who protests against the continuing assault by Muslims actively involved in carrying out the Koranic-prescribed imperative of jihad by any and all means for the avowed purpose of religious-political-ideological conquest in view of the irrefutable reality of attacks around the globe, is held to a standard that the UN-based Organization for Islamic Cooperation would like to have enshrined in law as "Islamophobic", with attendant penalties. The migration of 'refugees' from Africa bringing with them societal criminal violence represents yet another aggravation.

The petition now going the rounds, initiated by a Sydney doctor and a Melbourne author both of the Muslim faith seeks to silence such critics of Islam as Senator Anning. By pointing out in his inimitable manner that Muslims all too frequently make poor prospects for integrating into Western society, accepting the norms of culture, social contracts and values of Western democracies, he speaks to the reality of the situation, considered unspeakable by Western authorities who prefer appeasement.

The tail, representing Muslim immigrants to Western democracies, by insisting on silencing critics and making it an offence under the law to criticize Islam and its practices, is now wagging the dog.

A little blighter and just desserts
