Re: Unstoppable migration?
Tommy Robinson’s Critics Are Apologists for Radical Islam Delingpole may just have a point:
Quote:
They are using a classic Alinskyite technique. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” Rather than listen to what Tommy Robinson has to say, they have chosen to demonise him and turn him into a pariah figure. He has become the equivalent of Nineteen Eighty-Four‘s Emmanuel Goldstein – the generic, universally reviled hate figure that all decent people must be seen publicly loathing in order to demonstrate how on-message they are.
But it’s not just Tommy Robinson these people seek to smear and denigrate and silence. They happily apply the same tactics to anyone who associates with him or gives him a sympathetic hearing.
“It’s scary,” one public figure I cannot for obvious reasons name confided to me the other day. “Even though I personally think Tommy Robinson has been horribly maligned and talks a lot of sense, it has reached the point where I daren’t actually come out and say that because then I’ll end up being branded a member of the far right.”
This, as Orwell showed in Nineteen Eighty-Four, is how totalitarian mind control works. You police people’s thoughts. You ensure that some things are unsayable. The liberal left is currently doing this just as effectively as Big Brother.
The bien-pensant worthies I mentioned above, as well as the many people like them – quite obviously wish to signal to the world that they are virtuous, caring, decent people. Publicly displaying their disapproval of Tommy Robinson is a form of shorthand for: “Look at me! I’m not a racist or an Islamophobe! I care about people of all races, creeds and colours, holding hands under a rainbow. And if only we all showed a bit more love and a bit less hate, that eleven-year-old girl would never have been chopped into pieces by that truck in Stockholm last week, and PC Keith Palmer would still be standing on duty outside the Houses of Parliament…”
They are entitled to their deluded and unutterable stupidity, of course.
What they have absolutely no right to do, however, is to bully, demean, smear, slur, menace, threaten, and mock those people on the other side of the argument who seek to tell the truth about what’s really happening with regards to Islam in Europe and across the Western world. Note that I’m not defending racial abuse or victimisation or religious discrimination here: I’m talking simply about people who – as Tommy Robinson does in my podcast interview – want to talk in a measured, reasonable way about the facts on the ground.
What people like Lloyd, Hassan, Cook, Freeman, and Haque are doing is shameful, ugly, and morally wrong. It is, indeed, a form of fascism.
There is, I fear, not a great deal that many of us can do personally about the radical Islamists within our societies. They are going to do what they are going to do – and the best we can hope for is that our police and intelligence services are able to frustrate them.
But there is, I think, a great deal we can do about the useful idiots who help make their evil deeds possible by creating an environment in which no one dares address the root causes of the problem.
Remember, fundamentalist Islam is fighting two simultaneous wars against the West. The first is the military/terrorist one; the second is the cultural one.
It’s the second where we can all make a difference.
When politically correct, virtue-signalling dhimmis like Lloyd, Hassan, Cook, Hawes, Freeman, Haque and their ilk try to close down discussion of Islam by accusing people who disagree with them of being “Islamophobic” or “racist” or “xenophobic”, we don’t slink off meekly: we challenge them at every turn.
These useful idiots for radical Islam do what they do because they think it shows them to be better people: more caring, more sensitive, more intelligent – superior in every way to the people such as Tommy Robinson that they denigrate. Our duty is to deny them the luxury of claiming the moral high ground, to expose the fallacies of their glib, lazy, ill-informed arguments and remind them what it is they really are. They are dhimmis, liberal fascists, ugly little cowards who have probably never stood for anything truly worthwhile in their miserable spavined lives. They’re so spineless and intellectually decadent they actually value looking nice on Twitter more highly than they do defending the values of Western civilisation against an aggressive, alien culture that seeks at every turn to undermine it. They should be ashamed of themselves. Our job is to make them ashamed.
