Billionaire Kleptocrat-Towelheads
The Boston Globe praises Saudi Arabia and its rulers for its diplomatic finesse in brokering a cease-fire between Hamas and Fatah. This is the way it should be. When someone finally does something good, they should be praised. Up to a point, that is. For far too long the Saudi ruling kleptocracy—because that’s all it really is—has bought safety for itself by paying off regional thugs and relying on the American safety umbrella. Personally I cannot ever forget that the first thing the Bush administration did following 9/11 was to fly Saudi ruling family relations to safety. In other words, away from Texas or other parts north in continental United States, and back to the sandy haven which is Saudi Arabia.
The other little thing that sticks to mind is the fact that the wife of “Prince” Bandar, the then Saudi ambassador to Washington and now a very big shot in the Saudi government, was caught red-handed giving money to an Arab charity which was a front for terrorist activities against America. Sure, it eventually blew over after millions were spent by the Saudis in damage control, but the facts were clear back then as they are now. The Saudis are the main culprits in financing terrorism against the West.
American corporations and their catamites in Congress may pretend the Saudis are nice guys—only dumb people kick those who pay them—but some of us can still tell the difference between a snake and a swan. Take, for example, a Moslem faith school in central London, totally financed by the Saudi government and named after King Fahad, a man I used to gamble with and who died from over-eating and over-indulging himself. (He was supposedly a great friend of the West. Western hookers, Western whiskey and Western gambling joints is much closer to the truth).
Pupils at the King Fahad Academy have been heard saying they want to kill Americans, praising 9/11 and describing Osama bin Laden as a hero. That’s par for the course. What is not is the description of Jewish people as monkeys and Christians as pigs in the school’s textbooks which are produced by the Saudi government. Now as everyone who has not been in an Alaskan jail these last fifty years knows, the Saudis make Bill and Hillary Clinton sound almost truthful by comparison. Lying to a Saudi is like swimming to a fish. What I’d like to know is what excuse the billionaire kleptocrat-towelheads will come up with this time? The textbooks include a footnote saying that the Jews who observe the Sabbath are the monkeys and the Christians are the pigs. The footnote follows a passage where the Koran is quoted which refers to God turning people into pigs and monkeys as a punishment—but leaves out that this is for failing to observe the Sabbath. The school’s sister academy in Bonn, Germany, has also been identified by German intelligence services as a breeding ground and as a meeting place for Moslem activists linked to terrorism.
No wonder then that among British Moslems aged 16 to 24, 37 % would prefer to live under Sharia law in Britain, and 36% think that Moslems converting to another religion should be punished by death. For British Moslems over 55 years of age, however, the figures are much lower. Which proves that the education system in Britain has been turned topsy-turvy by multiculturalism and political correctness.
What are the British authorities doing about this alarming state of affairs? Very little, is the answer, except for the usual announcements from government flaks that extremism will not be tolerated and blah, blah, blah. Americans should follow events in “Eurabia” (as many of us now call the old continent) closely. The alienation of young Moslems is largely due to twenty or more years of official multiculturalism. This orthodoxy has emphasized differences between cultures, and has promoted a sense of grievance which in turn amounts to full-blown victimhood by the Moslems. Non-Moslem journalists and politicians have bent over backwards to extremist demands, along with commentators and human rights activists in the victim industry. Any criticism of Islam is compared to Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jews, with the mayor of London calling for the end of the “orgy of Islamophobia” by the media. Abe Foxman, in reverse.
Radical preachers in mosques all over Europe call for the beheading of all Moslems joining an infidel army, such as the British one, and preach inflammatory anti-Western sermons daily and openly. Freedom of speech and politically correct attitudes keep them safely far from the arm of the law. Even to draw attention to such practices is to be labeled a racist. In the name of religious tolerance we now have come to expect as perfectly reasonable every manifestation of Moslem intolerance for any aspect of the Western way of life not to their liking. Expressing distaste at the sight of Moslem women covered from head to toe are seen as manifestations of intolerance, as are the complaints by many Europeans and Americans that the mosques in their vicinity are recruiting and training grounds for terrorists are viewed as racist bigots.
Many of the major cities in Europe already have a non-Western majority. In a few years—perhaps this is the case already—mosques will boast of much larger congregations than the Christian churches. Instead of the West doing something about the enemy within, we are busy teaching white, Christian groups to be more tolerant. We will one day soon get what we truly deserve. In the meantime, hail to the Saudis and their ill-gotten trillions. They actually tried to broker a peace among the Palestinians.

It may be too late, but at least there are people such as Taki and Steyn - as well as other courageous souls - reminding us of the warnings first provided by Enoch Powell and Jean Raspail.

I wonder why we scowl when comments are made like these: “The textbooks include a footnote saying that the Jews who observe the Sabbath are the monkeys and the Christians are the pigs. “ But we don’t mind calling the majority demographic in the USA by the name of an insect, namely, wasps? There doesn’t seem to be consistency in using animal & insect names. Why are monkeys and pigs bad names, but wasps a good name?

We can thank President Clinton for the shooting at the mall in Salt Lake City this week. While he helped Iran aid the bosnian muslims bomb Christians in Serbia, he also imported the very family of the muslim who shot up the mall. Over 3,000 of those muslims were imported into Salt Lake City alone. Insanity.

Tadzio—
Its main boosters are Jewish owned media. The purpose is to undermine the dominant culture of the West in order to facilitate the Jewish intention to divide and conquer.
Much of what you say has a gain or kernel of truth to it, though it’s exaggerated. Not so much divide and CONQUER as dilute and defang – at least that’s how they tend to look at it themselves.
Jews don’t own all the MSM. But actually their influence and more or less veto power over anything that substantial numbers of networking Jews there get worked up about is nonetheless real. It works by their often being 25% or more of the journalists at elite and many other MSM outlets. Though rarely that sort of percentage in front of the camera. Someone widely marked among them as saying arguably to them “anti-Semitic” or “racist” things more than a time or two is in deep trouble for his job, and often simple and measured telling of the truth with facts behind it is regarded as those things, if anyone could “take it” the “wrong way” or if motives look to them to be suspect. Consider the purges at National Review of Sullivan and others a few years back. Usually there’s some allowance for minor crossings of their lines a time or two but then probation sets in and further offenses can and often do result in concerted campaigns against a journalist’s continued employment in much of the MSM. Political correctness, with many liberals and favored minorities ready to be allies, is the enforcer. The bar for saying taboo things has tended to be set lower and lower through the seventies through the nineties, with perhaps some recent leveling off or even a “slight” rollback. But nothing very refreshing, for the most part. Except on the Internet, thank god.
Yeah many people now poke fun at political correctness, but the enforcement power of it’s great clubs, being branded as “racist” or “anti-Semitic” even for reasonable argued truth telling if it’s thought offense with a very delicate meter, remains.

Tadzio—
As well Jews had some legitimate and very understandable reasons to be alarmed some 100 years back when this big effort for making immigration restrictionism more or less morally taboo as “racist” more or less began in America.
Recall that there were massive Klu Kux Klan marches including on Washington D.C. in 1924 in solidarity with passing the immigration restrictionist legislation of that year. The Klan of course hated Jews and to a lesser extent Catholics and wanted to stop all further immigration of both, and to marginalize any exercise of power or influence of those groups. That legislation had also been something it’s supporters, who certainly weren’t all or primarily Klansmen but a great many of whom were Southern racial bigots and segregationist, had been pushing for for years, with limited success until then, primarily because of opposition by Northern Industrialist, but also due to Catholic and Jewish pressure, and alliance with other liberals.
It was the political and other power of Southern whites, and such Northern places as Indiana where the Klan was also popular, that Jews most feared and most detested. They did indeed want to thwart any further rise of popular brownshirt or Jackboot movements there (well before the rise of the Nazis who proved truly apocalyptic for the Jews), and to eventually beat back segregation. They saw potential mortal peril and certainly a risk of themselves becoming second class citizens as they had been for so long in Christian Europe (at least in some ways and places, and always in peril until the French Revolution).
With enemies and groups of concern such as that, it’s hardly any wonder that Jewish groups sought to divide their opponents and reach out to allies, primarily Catholics but also white liberals, who were also alarmed and disgusted by such groups. It’s hardly a surprise that their efforts met widespread sympathy and support in many Northern quarters.
However like much else once they had thoroughly beaten this foe and prevailed by the mid Sixties with the passage of civil rights laws, the hounding and vast diminishment in popularity of the Klan, and a national revulsion against bigotry, they overreached by pushing for nearly wide open borders in the 1965 immigration act and the encouragement of third world immigration with any consideration of the differential contributions of different ethnic groups or their ability or desire to assimilate relatively quickly, completely verboten as “racist”.
In fact pushing for assimilation was quickly widely denounced as “racist” by liberal groups with Jews as usual leading the way. Hence was born “multiculturalism”, with Jews leading by making great efforts to shame others into adopting it as a belief system – with remarkably quick success.
Again they had many allies. But ask yourself this. Now that Jews have for some time ceased to have a unified front politically on many issues, how many Jews of whatever political stripe, liberal, leftist, not very political or Neo-con Jews, do not take the relatively anti-restrictionist, pro widespread immigration and lienient enforcement, side of such political debates?
The only glimmering of a change of heart on this nearly universal Jewish lining up on one side and rallying and ever threatening with crises of “racism” any waivering allies or outspoken opponents (such as Pat Buchanan) is their fear of too many Muslims especially of the threatening variety. But that still hasn’t taken them very far and it’s mostly in the form of tighter Muslim only or focused background checks.

Taki observed: “Any criticism of Islam is compared to Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jews.” Any such comparison is ahistorical nonsense, for a host of reasons, including, a. Jews had lived in Germany since it was part of the Roman Empire; b. The Jews of 19th and 20th century Germany were for the most part deeply assimilationist and patriotic, including many among them who fought for Germany in the Great War, and c. Even the most devoutly Orthodox Jews of Germany were not preaching any “Anti-Western sermons”, for the obvious reason that their people were among the founders of Western civilistaion, in contrast to Islam which for most of history has been an openly declared enemy of it.

I’m Muslim but thankfully not a Saudi or even an Arab for that matter. The Saudis are a bloody disgrace and embarrassment, how can this Saudi funded school operate in the West but yet criticize and condemn the West in such vulgar terms. Radical Islamists who live in the West are hypocrites and cretins, and are a sick joke.
Taki, the Saudis don’t just fund terror against the West but also against other Muslims who don’t subscribe to their Whabbi cult! From Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, Indonesia, Pakistan and Chechnya, Islam has now become synonymous with the most grotesque excess of Whabbism.
Ken Siverts, following your line of reasoning maybe if you didn’t import cheap African labour the level of crime in the US would be lower?

Right on target.
Wow, it is truly refreshing to hear the truth from this source. The Saudi Arabian government is a human plague. Their form of religion is nothing but a pre-historic culture of death.
Recently the Iraq War was put to me from a new perspective: it is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. We, the United States of America under the current administration, are no longer acting independently. We are now heroin addicts for oil acting as mercenaries for a human plague that openly, shamelessly and willfully seeks to uproot and ruin the Western way of life in order to spread the Salafist way.
Saudi Arabia is the true enemy. If an American politician had any sort of forward vision they would push alternative fuel sources so that we could eventually disengage from these Saudi scum and let them collapse back into their useless sandpit of a country.
It is truly disgusting.

DJexplorer:
Regarding American Jews and immigration: I think you will find more and more American Jews today against unlimited unskilled immigration to America, for the simple reason that it is bad for our country. Count me as one of them (although I am in favor of more legal immigration of the highly skilled). More Jewish commentators—e.g., Mickey Kaus, Robert Samuelson, Charles Krauthammer, etc.—have pointed out the problems with President Bush’s amnesty plan.
My late father, who was a legal immigrant to this country from Poland, via Germany—and a lifelong Democrat—was also against amnesty for illegals. I asked him his opinion about this last year, a few months before he died, not knowing what he would say. His response: “First, stop the bleeding. Build a fence.”

Saudi Islam came about recently. Abdul Wahab, the
founder of the Wahabi sect is a product of the eighteenth
century. Remember Lawrence of Arabia? He was hand in
hand with Abdul Wahab to create an extemist Islam designed
in the image of the West’s fears of Islam. When in fact
more Christians have lived in the heart of the Muslim
lands than Muslims ever living in the hearts of any Christian land.
and that is the truth.
Wahabi Islam is to attack Islam in a two pronged attack.
Attack Islam and Muslims from within, for not following
their half extremist beliefs which border on craziness.
Whereas large chunks of the World were ruled by traditional M
Muslims who have shown that many minorities have survived
the rule of Islam for centuries. Jews, christians and Hindus
among others have clearly surived hundreds of years of rule
by the Muslims.
What the Saudis represent is an attack on Islam, through
their intolerance of other Muslims on one side, and by
projecting an offensive and repugnant Islamic creed which has
little in common with the Prophet of Islam, who forgave
all his enemies and assimilated all the Arabs in a new
polity.
Neither Moses nor Jesus did what our Prophet did, which is
spared the lives of his enemies who were in his hands.
Moses had three thousand Jews killed in three days who d
dared to challenge him (Exodus 32:27) and Jesus never had
control or power over his enemies, so he never got the
opportunity to forgive them, as he would have done for
sure. Whereas our Prophet had been given that opportunity
and he did spare his enemies.
How come the Taliban do not follow the Prophet? How come
the Saudis do not follow that path of toleration which
caused Islam to take root every where. Intoleration is
a disease. Those who are intolerant are pretending to
be gods when the Almighty himself has allowed many faiths
to prosper and be nourishd on his earth.
