Its Wedding Season

by Leave a Comment

Wedding, religious or not, are almost always a fun occasion, free drinks and lots of dancing and laughing. Of course there are exceptions, Jewish weddings do not have pork and shrimp, Muslim weddings have dancing but not by the guests and Christian weddings can sometimes drag on forever. Weddings are also something that is heavily inspired by religion costumes but have grown into a more cultural events – stemming out of their traditional religious roots and embracing different local traditions on top of the ancient religious ones.

The mayor of Nice in Southern France has decided that he, as well as many of the city’s inhabitants had enough of the noisy craziness that follows a civil marriage in the town hall, French citizens can have a religious ceremony but they also need to have the formal day at town hall, some French people sign up and have a party – and some sign up and head to a much more elaborate religious ceremony. Some have combined the registration as wed couple and the traditional religious festivities and created a noisy festival that apparently repeats itself in Nice’s town hall.

No Noisy Wedding in Nice, France

And so the city has come to be the first that simply bans the noise and the parades that follow some of those weddings, and to make things even worst it seems that many who does this are immigrants who also like to wave their own (original) national flags, making this typical French republic tradition a celebration of another nationally, the flags are banned as well.

In another corner of the world, Pakistan, 6 people who had too much fun in one wedding are now facing a death sentence by religious authorities, for (wait for it), dancing together – which is somehow such a terrible offense that it can only be made up for by blood – and lots of it.

Four men and two women have somehow gotten themselves on a cell phone video of them celebrating and dancing at a local wedding, which is strictly forbidden, the Pakistani seem to separate genders in weddings and prefer that both sides stick to their own kind as long as festivities last, the people involved have somehow decided that they want to change this stone age concept of weddings and mingled – now the men are on the run and the women, who have been not so lucky and remain in prison, can only take comfort that the sentence called for the killing of the men before the women, so as long as they are on the run the women have a chance at life.

The French Socialist Loophole Danger

by Leave a Comment

This month saw the elections and installation of a new French president, winning by a relatively small magian of a few percent Hollande beat Sarkozy on his way to becoming a new socialist president of the French republic. The celebrations on the night of the vote revealed one of the prominent dangers that the French society faces, and which is one of the main points of conservatives as well as Front National voters (right and far rights voters), who have contributed greatly to the election of Mr. Hollande by not casting their votes, as the Front National leader suggested she will do.

Nationalists in France were horrified to see a sea of flags waved at them from the old Place de la Bastille, that old symbol of the popular national revolution that shaped modern France and inspired the whole world to move forward towards dropping monarchs and aristocracy and adopt a republican way of political life. Hollande supporters seem to agree on one thing, much of the votes in his favor came from citizens who prime concern lies not with the republic but with other nations around the world, mainly in the Arab world and the African continent, many of these voters did not hesitate to show their “true colors” in the night of Hollande’s victory.

And so photographers find themselves hard pressed to find a French person waving a French flag on the night, the place was full of  flags but those were Syrian, Palestinian, Algerian and Moroccan, Italian and even Greek flags, but not many French flags.

What does this mean? well, for a start it could mean that this is the socialist dream come true, abolishment of rank and status, even to the degree of nationality, in a warm embrace of equality, however this is far from the case when talking about France. The socialist “system” in France is much more about finance then anything else, it is not the old proletarian union philosophy, but rather a huge inflated governmental workspace that turns the country into the main business, and its citizens become its employees.

But those who were frantically waving foreign flags in the place de la bastille are not (only) about the free lunch system, they are out for much more than that, for them France had become a hub state, maybe more like a patch state, which collects other nations citizens and owes them gratitude and favors – a dangerous state of mind for any citizen to be in.

It seems that the new French president has a lot of work, not only will he need to call the shots in a time of great danger to the economy, he will also need to make sure that the French state does not disintegrate into pieces, as the south turns mostly nationalistic and the north becomes so drenched in immigration it speaks in too many tongues to understand, and waves too many flags to carry one cause.

Emotions Have Been Raw in France

by Leave a Comment

Anyone reading the title would expect a clash, two sides who are upset and on the edge of eruption, a “tension has been high” kind of feeling on the streets. But no – you are reading this the wrong way, what this actually means is “Muslims in France are Increasing their anti Jewish Activities”, that is actually what the title means.

It seems that France (and Belgium) Muslim communities have stepped up their active and physical level of violence towards the Jewish population of those countries, one would expect just the opposite to happen as Muslims are now widely blamed for the massacre that took place in Toulouse a week ago, but as it happens this religion does not follow normal and decent rules.

So “Emotions have been raw in France” means that Muslims are now, somehow, even more aggravated than before by the mere existence of Jews in France and Belgium, even though the Jewish communities have been there hundreds of years before the waves of Muslim immigration to the continent. Jews have been hit with emotions, however these are more of fear and terror, and the response to those fears is simply to take cover and hope for the best. Muslims however, awaken to frenzy activity by the slaughter of 7 years old girl, and two younger boys, somehow take offense at the Jews, and now physically go after them.

Since this is clearly a war of religions, with all perpetrators being Islam’s followers and all victims clearly identified as Jewish, held on a predominantly Christian ground one would look up to the religious majority opinion – namely the Christian church response to these attacks, and the Vatican did express outrage over the Toulouse killings, and we can all but wait and see what the future holds – since Muslims are not only committed to killing Jews but other types of infidels as well.

The Toulouse Killings Lesser Victims

No Lesser Victims - French Soldiers Murdered in Toulouse, France

If there is one thing that would remind in mind from the massacre in Toulouse, France is that an able bodied man of 26 years had, at a certain moment, put all his energy and power, focus and ability, on one point – he was chasing a little 7 year old girl. When he caught her, this 26 year old man executed that 7 year old girl by grabbing her by the hair and putting a bullet to her head. He also killed an unarmed and unprepared (for battle) man and his two little children.

After that he went to play some soccer in his neighborhood as if he had just finished reading a book.

But before that he brought death to other families and in no less cowardly manner, he shot and killed three French soldiers. And all his victims were also victims of speculation and suspicion. In many places when something happens many ask how can you be sure that it was this or that person that done the crime, how can you be sure that the Iranians are developing nuclear weapons with intent to kill others? how can you be sure that Saddan Hussain was a constant danger to the people who lived in his country?

The killer from Toulouse had no such doubts, French soldiers had to be killed for participating in a war on Muslim soil, no matter if they were right or wrong, honorable and peace loving while doing so – the holy book, as dictated by an angle of god to a prophet, clearly states that the punishment for waging war on Muslims is death. Little children near a Jewish school means that they are Jewish and by the holy book should be killed – at any age, at any time, in any way possible.

Even with the tremendous agony that any normal person should feel about the delineate destruction of lives, especially of young children that had not had the chance of doing any wrong to anyone, it is the French soldiers death that sends the real message here; even if your heritage is Islamic, once you conform with the infidels you will be persecuted by (some) other Muslims.

The Palestinian prime minister go on to say that he does not like the fact that those killings were done in the name of the Palestinian cause, however he forgets to note that the Palestinian cause if repeatedly voiced in Islamic prayer houses, every Friday. And when we say that they talk of Palestinian causes we actually mean that the narrative is that Jews are slaughtering Muslim children, contrary to facts and the truth but holding a very firm ground for many years now the whole regional dispute in Israel is characterized by religious Muslims as a Jewish army/state massacring Muslim children – so why be surprised?

Religious Murders and the Reasoning Behind It

by Leave a Comment

If there is one thing that the terrible acts of the Norway 2011 killing teach us is to wait a little to see who is really behind some of the worst acts humans are capable of. And comparing between Norway Oslo 2011 and France Toulouse 2012 was indeed something that was called for until the early morning hours of today, when it was clearly established that it is a Muslim group behind the killings in the Jewish school in that French city.

It is sometimes a cause of great wonder to us how the far right and religious fanatics seem identical in their purpose and their objectives, so much alike that both can be equally suspected of the same crime.

But lets talk about the main thing today, the response of EU foreign minister Baroness Ashton to the Toulouse killings, which obviously places her neatly in the Islamic radical corner of the world of politics. For some reason Ashton can not keep a fair distance between intention and result, this inability – or better phrased – unwillingness to distinguish  these two is the Western leftist main hobby in the last 10 years.

For Ashton if Israeli planes try to hit a terrorist who is, at that moment, engaged in activity that is dedicated to killing innocent non combatants in Israel, and in the attempt to destroy this person those Israeli war planes hit children who are playing in the next room (mainly because Palatinian terrorists engage in war only when they are nestled within the general population – with a preference to kindergartens) those Israeli planes are responsible for the killing of those children.

The measure of responsibility can be discussed, however the intention was never there, those planes did not lift off with orders to destroy young lives but with the orders to protect the innocent civilians of Israel who are under rocket and missile attacks. On many occasions that government of Israel publicly apologized for the damage caused to non combatants, however that does not change Ashtons opinion on it – for her it was as if the Israeli government assembled to declare war on a bunch of Palestinian children.

The fact is that no one in Israel, not in the political system and not in the religious authority has ever called for the destruction of Muslims, young or old, and there is a constant apologetic tone regarding deaths of non combatants from Israel for years, in direct contrast to the hysteric cries of massacre and murder for the sake of god that comes from every corner of the Arab and Palestinian world. For many Muslims do believe that Jews need to be killed – without going into details such as age or gender – just slaughter Jews and God will be happy.

So the poisoned mind of EU foreign minister Baroness Ashton leads her to the same reasoning as of a terrorist, if Israeli soldiers show up all geared up and ready to massacre Palastinian children why wouldn’t an armed young men drive over to a Jewish school and shot everyone down as a revenge – since these are basically the same thing?

It is not only EU foreign minister Baroness Ashton who is to blame for a mindset that is not only completely false, it also falls on the French media who does not resist the lie filled propaganda of religious war waged by Muslims against the state of Israel, and who are constantly connecting the unfortunate death of non combatants Muslims (because they do not do this for Jews) to a sort of Israeli purpose and goal.
