I’m a Terrorist Groupie, Hear Me Roar!

I have heard some people say that Western popular culture will destroy
Islam. That is possible, but we need to remember that this is not a
one-way street. What if the opposite happens? Sometimes the barbarians
also influence the civilized people, and there is a disturbing amount of
“understanding” for terrorists in Western movies and media these days.
Creeps come crawling out of the woodwork, more or less cheering for the
terrorists who are trying to bring society down. There are probably always
people who are drawn to blood and mayhem. They would like to destroy the
current political order, but aren’t capable of doing it themselves, so
they end up as cheerleaders for those who are attempting to do so. Let’s
call them “terrorist groupies.” I’m not just talking about the
Oscar-nominated suicide bomber film Paradise Now. There are others
examples of this mentality.
“V
for Vendetta” is a recent movie made by the Wachowski brothers, the
men behind the modern sci-fi classic “The Matrix.” It is set in
Britain about a generation from now. The USA has dissolved into chaos and
civil war after its involvement in a prolonged war in the Middle East.
Great Britain has become a Fascist state. The protagonist, a “freedom
fighter” named V, wants to ignite a revolution and brags about how
blowing up a building can change the whole world. He is wearing a Guy
Fawkes mask to conceal his identity, and proclaims that he wants to
finish at November 5th what Fawkes tried to do in the so-called Gunpowder
Plot in 1605: Blowing up Parliament. He gets an accomplice in this task, a
young girl named Evey, played by Israeli-born actress Natalie Portman.
Portman cites a popular British rhyme that is often quoted on Guy Fawkes
Night:
”Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and
plot; I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be
forgot.”
During the movie, we see a gay man keeping a 14th century Koran in a
secret room in his house, because he enjoys “the beautiful poetry and
imagery” in it. He is later executed when the authorities discover this,
as the Koran is now banned and Muslims are oppressed. What beautiful
imagery we are never told. “And slay them wherever ye catch them”?
“I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye
above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them”? At the same
time, the Church is shown to be a place of filth, corruption and
hypocrisy. Islam is good and “misunderstood,” Christianity is bad and
oppressive. In the final scene of “V for Vendetta,” the British
Parliament is blown up, with hundreds of thousands of people in Guy Fawkes
masks watching and Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” blasting from
loudspeakers, fireworks crackling and Natalie Portman smiling.
In Hollywoodistan, gays admire the beauty of the Koran. In real life, gays
are physically attacked in increasing numbers by Muslims in Europe, and death
squads are targeting gays in Islamic countries such as Iraq. A gay
man, Pim Fortuyn, was de facto executed for criticizing Islam, after
having been demonized by Dutch media and the Dutch establishment for
“Islamophobia” and “hate speech”. In Hollywoodistan, the Koran has
been banned on pain of death in Britain. In real life, British PM Tony
Blair has called Islam “progressive” and praised the Koran for
being “practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage,
women and governance.” In Hollywoodistan, Muslims in London are
ruthlessly persecuted. In real life, London has become the Islamic
terrorist capital of the entire world, as demonstrated by writer Melanie
Phillips in her book “Londonistan.” In Hollywoodistan, native
Fascists kill British civilians to spread fear and terror and soften them
for their goal of overthrowing democracy. In real life, the only Fascists
trying to do this are Muslims, following the example of their prophet
Muhammad who bragged about how he had been “made victorious by
terror.”
After the Jihadist terror bombings in London in July 2005, not a single
Muslim cleric has been expelled from Britain. Historian David
Starkey warned that Britain was in danger of sleepwalking into a new
era of religious intolerance, as in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. What today might be described as thought crimes, such as
expressing any sympathy for suicide bombers, would in previous eras have
been termed heresy, he said. The right response to the bombings was that
Britain should become more tolerant towards Islam. A Chester professor, Ron
Geaves, has stated that the attacks that killed 52 people were not the
acts of terrorists but “just an extreme Muslim demonstration” and that
“the word terrorism is a political word which always seems to be used to
demonise people.” Muslim immigration continues unabated, and open hatred
towards the West continues to be preached in mosques. The BBC is busy as
always in campaigning against “Islamophobia” and reminding everybody
that Islam is rich in diversity and that Western civilization would have
been impossible without huge Islamic contributions, which we should be
eternally grateful for.
For an outsider, it is sad to see the nation that once faced down Hitler
and Napoleon slowly succumb to these barbarians. It is good that smaller
nations such as Denmark and maybe the Netherlands are at least starting to
confront the Islamic threat, but this isn’t enough. For the sake of
Europe, we need some of the larger countries to do the same thing. France
is sinking into a quagmire of problems of her own, and has been leading
the creation of Eurabia in the first place. Maybe the Germans could do the
job, but they are still restrained by their guilt complex from WW2. We
need the British on board, and so far, there are few signs of this
happening. Will Britannia forever be enslaved, or will she rise to the
occasion as she has done in the past?
Luckily, even though Hollywood won’t tell the truth, there are still a
few people who will. Mullah Krekar, an Al Qaeda-linked Islamic leader who
was granted refugee status in Norway told an Oslo newspaper that there’s
a war going on between the
West and Islam. He said he’s sure that Islam will win. Muslims could
indeed win this, if they could just sit tight, remain quiet and continue
the demographic Jihad. But too many of them behave so, well, Islamic,
boast and brag about their plans. Listening to Mullah Krekar talking is
like watching one of those old James Bond movies, where the villain just
has to tell Bond everything about his evil plans, just in time so that 007
can prevent it. “I’m so smart and evil, you can’t stop me,
bwuahahaha!” Then again, given the state of things in Al-Britannia these
days, James Bond would probably have been working for the other team.
“There’s a nasty case of Islamophobia going on at the Telegraph
newspaper today. Take care of it, will you, 007. How do you want your
Koran, Mr. Bond?” “Shaken, not stirred.”
In another movie, “Good Night, and Good Luck,” directed by star actor
George Clooney, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow is shown standing up against
Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy during his intense anti-Communist movement
in the 1950s. I assume Clooney’s motivation for making this movie now is
insinuating that the ongoing War on Terror is “just like” the paranoia
of the 50s. First of all: Although there is no doubt that Senator McCarthy
went too far and destroyed the lives of many innocent people, the
Communist threat to the USA and the West was in fact very real during the
Cold War. And second of all: Whoever decided that a new “political witch
hunt” necessarily has to come from the Right?
