Now there's a title that'll let the Fox News audience shine.
Hello, connoisseurs of exceptional internet lunacy; since Markos is taking a break, I'll be this week's guide to the far corners of wingnut logic. This week's fodder will be from the Fox News website, because all the nuttiest corners of wingnut conspiracy-theorizing and cracked logic and bedazzled bigotries can be found, sooner or later, on Fox News. You don't even need to nutpick from the comments, because the stories themselves
provide.
There are large neighborhoods in the Paris suburbs called No-Go Zones, where non-Muslims dare not enter. There are similar areas in cities throughout Europe. They are microstates within states, governed by Shariah law, where young people go to madrassas instead of public schools.
That's from a FoxNews.com opinion column titled "Europe, US must confront homegrown Islamic terror threat before more die" by the Fox-famous K.T. McFarland, a Fox News "security analyst" with deep ties to several administrations and a penchant for, well, proclamations like that.
If this is the first you have heard of this, I'm not surprised. France doesn't want you to know that Paris has been divided into religious-law microstates. Other people might sniff that France's Muslim population is among the least religious in Europe and that a bigger danger may be to devout French Muslims (or anyone else) who accidentally wanders into particularly redneck portions of the city, but it sounds much more terrifying to contemplate the notion of Sharia microstates where the laws of France no longer apply, so by God that's what we'll be doing.
You know, growing up I went to a Catholic school. It's a very lucky thing that "Catholic" is no longer as foreign-sounding as it was in earlier portions of our national history, and luckier still that they didn't call it a "Jesus Madrassa". But yes, they did brainwash me, probably—the lunch counter served meatless meals on certain days, and I had no heroes fighting for my America-given right to get a damn burger at lunch. I blame Obama.
Anyway, we can see already that there will be no line drawn between violent religious extremists and your average French citizen who is Muslim (even though a screenshot of one of the terrorists moving forward to execute a Muslim police officer has been plastered nearly everywhere the media could plaster it, these last few days.) Below the fold, we'll see how the FoxNews.com audience reacted. Hint: Exactly as they were primed to.
Don't know about the rest of you but, I have no sympathy for a country, or their citizens, who don't/won't allow their Police to carry weapons.
I think the outcome would have been different if some of the people were armed.
An observer might point out, and one did point out, that the police in France do indeed have guns. And good luck to you with that.
Had one citizen been "caring" in Australia's latest terrorist attack....just one....the outcome there could have also been different. Had several citizens in the Paris terrorist attack been carrying concealed weapons, the outcome might have been different.
GOOD PEOPLE carry concealed hand guns. PEOPLE who love their families, love their communities, care deeply about their country, and will come to your aid if needed.
Not touching that one, other than to note someone has to pipe up with it after every last mass murder, no matter what the circumstances are. Those cartoonists shoulda been packing heat. Those schoolkids should have had guns in their lunchboxes. If everyone in that movie theater had just shot back, we wouldn't have had this problem.
if you have a " no go " zone of muslims in your area.
get your buds and drive through night after night and remind them...
THEY'RE IN AMERICA...
If you have a "no go" zone that you can readily drive through every night while blasting Lee Greenwood songs or whatever the hell true patriots do, that's not much of a "no go" zone now, is it. That's just you going out drinking and being a gigantic asshole to people, or as some in AMERICA call it, just another Saturday night.
I have been to Iraq three times and Afghanistan once since 9-11 with the 82nd Airborne Division. There is no reason for any Westerner to travel to these sh!thole countries and other similar sh!thole countries like Pakistan, Yemen, etc.
Why are Western Nations not simply quarantining these sh!tholes by not allowing any Westerner to return from any of them. Sure, we cannot prevent anyone from going there, but there should be a stipulation that if you go there, you will surrender your passport and citizenship permanently, and not be allowed to enter any Western Nation.
The most puzzling part on that one is this earnest reply:
Montana is our last hope. I am scared.
I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good for Montana.
Gawd, allowing these "no-go zones" to exist has to be one of the asinine results of political correctness imaginable. The entire concept must be stopped, and stopped in such a manner that they can never again be created. That is probably going to take the use of force. Too bad. If force is indeed deemed necessary, then overwhelming force should be applied to eradicate these zones of radical religious bigotry.
A responder suggested to the above commenter that maybe there "aren't any places like that", but our intrepid hero wasn't having any of it.
I'll give you full marks for consistency, you are wrong again. Take a look at Dearborn, the one in Michigan. Check out Europe with an emphasis on France. No-go zones do exist and they are a "clear and present danger".
Dearborn, Michigan is a no-go zone. Nope, don't try to go there. It's a no-go zone. You can no go. The Muslims have taken over, and it's under Sharia now, and that means if you get a parking ticket there you have to convert to Islam and you're deported to Yemen and oh what's the point.
Islam is not a religion, it is a terrorist training ground. So it is not protected under the constitution. Outlaw this terrorist group now, outlaw all Islamic teachings.
Only religions I personally like are protected under the Constitution. I'd make fun of that but it's not that dissimilar to a few Supreme Court decisions.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down those walls. Mr. Hollander, tear down those mosques. The parallels are quite compelling. Do these leaders have the courage to act.
Those "I stand with Charlie"-themed defenses of freedom were remarkably short lived.
f you let come in it's time to throw them out. Just do it, don't look back and your citizens will b safer. That is your JOB ONE. Keeping your citizens safe. Round them up move them out or battle them on your streets and your shops and homes. What will it be? Obama are you listening?
Ditto.
It seems the logical move is to begin expelling everything Islamic from non Islamic countries. We give them the same choice they give us, leave or die.
Ditto.
always carry a gun, practice on brown targets and be ready.
That would be from commenter "dielibs".
KTM forgets to mention that followers of the prophet practice consanguinity (1st cousin marriage) at rates as high as 30% (Iran). This gives them a small but useful (as cannon fodder) percentage of people willing to strap explosives to themselves or perform some other suicidal maneuver.
It also explains why some Americans keep forwarding me the same chain emails.
The only difference between liberal radicals and Islamic terrorists is; Islamic terrorist want to destroy civilized society by violence AND liberal radicals want to destroy civilized society by deviousness.
I don't know why I want to destroy civilized society. I've thought about it, and don't know. All I've been able to conclude is that it probably has something to do with Adam Sandler.
This is another prime example of the absolute complete failure of the Bush/ Clinton/ U.N. agenda of Multiculturalism . The Globalist agenda is destroying not only the United States but most of Europe as well , The U.S. Congress is infested with Globalists on both sides of the Isle , and it is high time Globalists Like Barack Obama , Mitch McConnell , Harry Reid , John Boehner , Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Senators and Congressmen who are working every day to align our Nations laws with International law and destroy our National Sovereignty , be thrown from the halls of the American Peoples Government ......
I like it when even the original internet commenter loses track of what exactly they were trying to say and just sorta trails off because here's a bunch of email buzzwords and the Enemy Agenda and I hate Nancy Pelosi so much and oh my TV show is back on never mind......
it is still not late to attack saudi arabia, and turn it around. we know the saudi oil revenues can pay for the war for sure.
That's it, I'm out. Enjoy the veal.
