Let’s just reiterate some basics here, two weeks on:
1) The Christchurch killer is evil beyond words. Saying this is not token virtue-signalling, which would make one sick; it is a heartfelt condemnation, by a lover of freedom and reason, of a gruesome initiation of force by a monster. Nor is it the fallacy of moral equivalence to say that monster is on a par with the Muslims who far more commonly perpetrate such atrocities. The gratuitous slaughter of innocents is never moral.
2) Islam remains one of the great toxic forces of our time, in its routine grisly initiations of force against apostates, “infidels”, gays, women, children ? and each other. If “moderate Muslims” wish to persuade us that that term has any validity, they must demonstrate and proclaim much more loudly that Sharia and Jihad, beheadings and amputations, cage-burnings, stonings, “honour killings”, genital mutilation, child rape, etc., are not integral to Islam. Good luck with that!
3) While we can empathise with New Zealand’s prime minister in donning a hijab in solidarity with the Christchurch victims, we must never forget that women in Iran are jailed and lashed for not donning one. Further, it’s fair to wonder if Jacinda would have donned Jewish headgear had this attack been in a synagogue?
The prime minister is a fervent devotee of the brand of evil peculiar to our time, Soros-funded anti-Semitic Islamo-Marxism. Lovers of the great pillars and values of our civilisation must remind themselves of her hostility toward those pillars and values if there’s to be any hope of preserving them. She and her dreadful regime are coming after them at break-neck speed.
4) Many of New Zealand’s “journalists”, in their relentless, mindless acquiescence to her agenda, are almost as venal as they are stupid, though I acknowledge the bar is very high here. They can’t form human speech?rather, like the prime minister, they repair to another evil peculiar to our time, squawking, upward-inflecting fry-quack?nor can they spell, punctuate, construct a sentence, think an original thought, or distinguish the difference between factual reportage and the ejaculation of their uninformed uniform opinions. They are the ultimate in “group-think”, though “think” is hardly an apposite word here. Like CNN and MSNBC in America, they are the print and electronic arm of Labour/Democrats.
5) Winston Peters, who previously claimed to want to protect New Zealand from invasions by entities whose values were hostile to ours, has turned out to be as shameless in his quest for the “baubles of office” as those he once denounced for that very thing. It was he who surreptitiously signed the Global Migration Compact, allowing for the unimpeded influx of ideological aliens into New Zealand, the ones now joining home-grown aliens in clamouring for an end to free speech.
6) New Zealand voters deserve exactly what they are getting. To be sure, Jacinda’s Islamo-Marxists were far behind National in the popular vote and seats in parliament at the last election, but National were then, and are now, led by limp-wristed Chamberlains, so the level of support for National?which has evaporated in any event?is no reassurance when it comes to voter wisdom. To establish their credentials as thinking humans, voters must rise up against all these detestables. I don’t know whom to recommend, since no Churchills are on offer. ACT are as bad as the rest; Gutless Gormless Goofy is a pathetic appeaser. A new party must arise. But NO VIOLENCE!! Leave that to the Profa Blackshirts! Take the pledge from my previous article, now memed by Lady Olivia:
“Just as I reserve the right to hold and express my opinions on any matter whatsoever, I promise to respect the right of all others to do the same. I renounce unreservedly the use of coercion and violence in the promotion of my opinions.”
Compare the spirit of that pledge with the Muslim view of free speech cited here:
*Update: since this article was written, the Kingdom of Brunei has announced that as from next week, gays who have sex will be stoned to death, as will adulterers, and the limbs of those caught stealing will be amputated, in accordance with Sharia Law. In New Zealand, the regime of Jacinda Adern has announced it intends to ban “hate speech” (i.e. criticism of Islam). This regime is evil. Islam is evil. We must never allow our right to say so to be taken away.
